Re: Looper pedal vs computer
It may be possible to load beats onto the loop pedal. But you can for sure plug the beats manually into the looper and then recird them. On my old jam man there is a feature to manage loops (that I can't get to work), so on a new pedal there might be a way to load the beats straight on.
How do u like ezdrummer? I thought about getting that. Instead I'm practicing hard on my electric drum kit. Focusing on that and guitar. (Singing ain't gonna happen lol. [Bass is ez.])

It has pretty good drum tunings of different styles. Theres the song creator, but i dont like it that much. What i do is open a piano roll on studio one 3, and go from there. It takes time, but its worth it because your making your own drum beat.
Ok cool.

Re: Looper pedal vs computer
This all depends on the way you want to loop. Pre-recorded tracks? Verse/Chorus song structures? Total un synched improvisation? There is a good looper for each one. Figure out what features you need, and make a list...then research. But decide how you want to use it, first.

Re: Looper pedal vs computer
Sorry! i know this is old.. havent got a looper yet, been using my daw for it.. i just realize that a pedal will be the best, for practicing and jamming.
im looking into the rc 300 or the smaller brothers plus an fs6 pedal?
now for live looping,
plan A its cheaper: can i use the rc 300 with my computer, connect it to my audio interface to use my vsts , and use my midi keyboard for synths, ambient sounds and drum beats?? the only thing i will need to purchase is a small pa system.
plan B: (if A wont work) the only thing i have is my peavey vypyr vip 3 100w amp.. i will have to purchase, a drum machine or pad, a small workstation( keyboard) and the foot switch for the amp ( the amp has build in effects).. will i need the pa?
let me know guys what plan is better, or you guys have other options. thanks

Re: Looper pedal vs computer
Again, this all depends on how you decide to loop. Are you improvising, or are you building up static song structures? If you are doing song-based looping, one of the Boss units with built-in drum tracks is fun, and you won't need external drum machines. If you want to play along to backing tracks, make sure your looper can sync to your DAW- some can, some can't.

Re: Looper pedal vs computer
Well, for pure improvisation, you are gonna need a different looper...one with expression pedal control over loop feedback, and one that lets you re-specify the start and end points after the loop is complete. No current loopers allow this- I use my Oberheim Echoplex for this. For building up a song, most deluxe loopers these days are built on static loop times and sync between loops.
