Oh a black devon rex ! Beautiful Cleo. And great video of your looping process😊
Thank you! From me and Cleo 🤗😻
@@EmilyMcVicker I had a beautiful black smoke Devon rex Alice - such a snuggler ! My very best for your music & you & your cat 🐱
your timbre and soulness is sooo emotional !! you can use large plate with high pass filter, so you don't sound so boxy like singing in the bathroom, just add enough so you can hear a tail after your sing with reverbs is easy to go overboard :D
Oh, thanks! Nice to know maybe I’ll give that a try 👍
this sounds amazing. 3:40 i had goosebumps with the choral pads!!
Ooooo! I love that ❤️ thank you friend glad you like!
@@EmilyMcVicker weird question: would you give online classes on the use of RC 505 MKII?
I wanted to buy the MKI as i am a musician myself and just looking to start looping, and MKI seems easier to use, but it is discontinued and i am scared on spending all my hard-won budget (all of it!) on a used item that can come with a fabric problem or etc.! I rather buy a new, but there are only MKII.
I would be willing to pay to get personalized classes through zoom !
And: does it work without a computer?
strong! great teaching abilities.
Oh awesome! Glad you like!
I had a transcendental experience watching this. Honestly really freaking good.
Aw shit! Thanks my friend!
Emily. I’m a looping musician, myself. I just stumbled upon your channel and I’m really digging it. Your energy and excitement is infectious! Keep up the great work!
Aww man thanks so much friend! You’re very kind 🥰🥰🥰 keep in touch 🤘

This will be great!
Bring donuts Bill !! LOL
Sounds amazing Emily, awesome job. Love this version you've done with the song when it's live or on video. Melody to my ears. Cleo tried to still the show on your short video, but you were able to work around her. Keep it up, your singing always puts me in a great mood.
Aww thanks friend! Haha ya cleo 🥰🥰🥰
Wow, thats really good. And your voice is very good too.
You’re so sweet. Thank you 🥰🫶
Each Emily' song kills us softly. They are too beautiful. Emily you are brilliant like a diamond !

I love your voice so much and how you are performing one of my favourite songs. ❤
This is a beautiful song for sure! Love it! Thanks for the nice words 🥰
simply brilliant. 👍
Thank you! Cheers!
learning a lot from your videos. Thank you
Oh amazing!! Thanks for the comment! Glad you dig 🤘😆❤️
You are the best at explaining your loops, especially with the red circles and text. We just got this loop pedal and are officially stalking your videos. Please make more of these videos with the mk2!!!!!!!
Thank you!! Yes I need to make more with the mk2 you’re totally right! Glad you’re digging them 🤘😜 you must play folk music! Nice to meet you!
Wow awesome video thanx for sharing your amazing style...
Aww thanks friend! Glad u dig! 🤘❤️
Thinking about buying one of these and landed here checking them out. You are both amazing. Thanks! I don't really need much coaxing to get new gear but this helped. Can't wait. In the mean time I'll be checking out your other stuff! Cheers! :)
Aww this sounds like a really sweet review 🥰 this is a great piece of gear. I probably prefer the 600 for my own purposes, but the 505 has some nice features. I’m gonna play with all I can do with it. And if you have questions; I’ll answer anything I know! But always discovering new things. Keep in touch - cheers!
@@EmilyMcVicker lol I think I just got looper blocked. 🙄 Thank you for the reply! I will check out some of the differences between them. I'm just not a fan of tweaking floor pedals AND have very little vacant floor pedal real estate left. I will continue plowing through your vids. You do a WONDERFUL job and are super great at breaking it down. AND it looks like you are having a blast doing it! Well done!
AAAAAAA. MAAAAAA ZING! I could listen to you perform....all day long!
You’re very sweet thank you!
I heard the original when it was released and it brought me to tears as did Lauren Hills version. I waited for the accapela and you nailed it. Bravo!
Aww shucks friend. That is really sweet of you to say you made me smile 😊 such a great song!
That's beautiful ❤️
❤️🥰❤️🙏
Perfect!!! Bravo!!!
Thank you friend! You’re so sweet for coming for the premiere 🥰🥰🥰
I was waiting for!!
Awesome performance! Possibility your best yet, and a great inspiration for us padowan loopers:)
Aww wow thank you!!!
Congratulazioni 👌👌👌
So brilliant Emily!!! All my neighbours know every new video you put on line as I lessen it with the maximum volume. They just adore your voice and amazing rhythm killing us softly with your art and beautiful voice. Roberta is happy today!
Aww man Alberto thanks! That is so nice to hear 😆 tell ur neighbors hello from me 😆
I'll do for sure Emily. Be always the happiest woman in the world, as deserved from so many years.
A rich tonal quality to the vocals combined with great skill at the helm of the Boss looper, well done!
Aww you’re very kind 🥰🥰🥰 are you a looper? Do u have this pedal or different?
@@EmilyMcVicker I use the Boss RC-600 and really enjoyed your demos on how you use them. The RC-600 midi syncs nicely with the Boss GT-1000, especially for automated delay and reverb bpm sync. I use the RC-600 solo and with my band (Motema Melody) and my musical mentor (Samba Ngo, see band: M'Bamina) loves it too! I love that you included this soulful performance in your series, outstanding!
Mega!!..and very nice vocal
Many thanks!!
Wow Girl you Killed me with your song, your arrangement, your loop skills, harmonies, and Vocals! I am dead! lol
i appreciate that, friend!!! Glad you dig it :)
Awesome. love it. ❤️
Thank you! 😊
the voice is so good!
Thank you friend 🥰
I'm a pro musician and music teacher looking to broaden my skills, as we plan to introduce looping into our program next year... I am SOOO glad I stumbled on to your channel! You are amazing!
What a compliment! And that’s so cool you’re teaching looping to the students. It’s great to connect with you and I’m so glad your wrote 🥰🫶🥰
Wtf. Genius.
Aww shucks. You’re kind 🥰
Well done and taught.
Excelente! Thanks! 🤘😆
Great instrument
Thank you!
Beautiful!! : )
Thanks!
Can't wait!
yay!!! Thanks friend! i hope it's a hit!
@@EmilyMcVicker it was awesome! Great job!
Great video🎉
Gracias!
Yoooo!!!! This MoFo is pretty damn good
Thanks friend!
I didn`t think you could impress me more than you already had done, Emily.. But that was wrong.. -Fantastic preformance, and beautiful song arrangement.... 🙂
Thank you kindly!
I just noticed , You gotta little soul ! And when You look at something it is with much intent and compassion. You're an interesting Woman and I say that with all respect , am enjoying what work You've put into these Productions ! Thank You so very Much...🎸
I appreciate you friend! ❤️
I'll try to express but oh boy....
You're melting my ignorance and narcissism, this glow you have just
shakes off the comfortable old skin of useless on unserving habits I have held dear.
A totally "on-the-cloud" feeling, not foggy but fuzzy inside. Very much appreciate your work(play? :P) and coolness.
sweet thanks!
ps this is an age thing - still have the Roberta Flack sheet music from 1973 ... used to perform it with classical acoustic guitar.
Ha! Thats awesome! Hard to go wrong with any version of this song 👍
@@EmilyMcVicker yes it is stunning song, wonderful lyrics & music that opens up all sorts of creative possibilities.
Awesome video emily.at elder place,finished lunch.
Hope it was a good one! Happy lunch! 🤘😆
Perhaps something by Burt Bacharach, now that we have sadly lost him; A little prayer, maybe? (Good job on demonstrating the RC-600 - useful!)
Oh thanks! I’ll check out that song
you gave me goosebump la la la break down
Nailed it! 🫶 you’re very sweet ❤️
Emily I'm blown away. This was exactly the kind of demo I've been looking for. I'm a lifelong beatboxer and was dreaming of some gear like this, and you've demonstrated this product so well and with that gorgeous voice of yours. I may actually be able to record some stuff after beatboxing to the walls and the cat for years, wishing I knew other beatboxers or a way to easily beatbox with myself but without the hassle of a DAW. Thank you!
Oh amazing! So glad to hear that! This might be a good piece of gear for you 👍
Omg i want that looper and u as my teacher
Glad to have you in! What kind of music do you do?
Magnificent
Thank you friend 🫶🥰
Your amazing
Aww shucks thank you friend!
Fantastic! Thank you so much for your breakdown videos. Helps me to practise a lot ❤ I’m waiting for an imagine dragons song 😊❤
Oh oh!! That is such a good idea!! Stay tuned!!!
Awesome
Thanks! 😎🤙
Eres muy buena!! un saludo desde Alicante, España
Gracias amigo! ❤️🤗
Great video that really helps a lot for a looping learner like myself. So now tell me how to sing like you! Wow! I would just end up looping my crappy voice. 🙂
Well thank you 😅 but there are all kinds of voices out there. Keep playing!
grandissima !!! from italy !!!
Thank you!
SUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB
Thanks friend 🤘😜
Very nice mam emily GOD BLESS YOU ALWAYS
Thank you friend!!
Maravilha 😍😍😍😍. Parabéns. Que swing, gostoso de ouvir

Thank you friend! 🙏🫶
❤❤❤
❤️❤️❤️
like that McV TV !✌🎸YOU have a very Beautiful voice.
Thanks so much! 🥰
You have a New Follower. Loved it......
i appreciate you friend! Thanks!
Dear Emily ! Such a great performance thank you for being a beautiful star in your creation! , and i have a question , when I use my boss rc505 mk2 , I set the first track to 4 bar measure but when I hit the record button, it shows that as if im using a free measure loop, i tried to change it but its not applying, do you have any idea about how I can fix this ! Thanks !
Hey! Great question. I’m curious what it looks like when you’re building your first loop. Can you do a little video and send to me on IG?
Are you using the built in rhythms? My guess is if you’re not, then the machine is recalibrating to however you play in ur first loop. But if you are playing to the clock, I’m not sure. So if you could show me, that’d be awesome!
❤❤❤❤❤
❤️❤️❤️
🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁
Boom boom bap 💥
Wow! YOU are a star! Awesome performance and demo! I also have the RC505mk2 along with the Airstep MIDI pedal to run the tracks since I play mostly guitar and sing. My problem is in figuring out how to break down a song to perform. I can do some basics, like blues, and some some rock, but harmonies, and timing of each section, and when to load, and unload a track, I am still a novice. Any suggestions? And, BTW...Happy Valentine's day!
Hey! I do a bunch of live looping breakdowns and have a playlist that might be right up your alley.
If I could boil it down, it is focus on the rhythm, and focus on the chorus. It’s OK to play the verses live on your instrument too. You don’t have to loop everything. Prioritize 👍
😍
🤘
🤩🤩🥳🥳🤩🤩
wow
🥰🥰🥰
🤯👏🏻
Singing really good, I have the rc5, but I'd love to upgrade to the rc 600 or rc 505mkii
Oh! Nice! What’s ur main instrument? Have u been using looper mostly for practice or also for performance?
I love it!
Emily, how long does it take you to construct such a song from start to finish?
Like to build it on the looper? Or to design the arrangement?
I worked on this one for this video cuz I wanted the BGVs to be really intentional so I did a bit of practicing how I wanted the voices to be arranged. But sometimes i improvise arrangements so those don’t take as long :)
@@EmilyMcVicker very inspiring... I'm just starting with the looper.
So.... You said a lot of things there.......😅 Pwetty vocals ! Respect ❤
Was it overwhelming?? Is there something I should talk about in more detail?
Despite the looping skills, your voice is amazing 👌 by the way what headset headphones do you use?
Aren’t you sweet 🥰 they are Shure 425 in ear monitors 🤘😆
Thank you lil tiger .. I learned alot from you & thank you 🙏
Hi Emily, i thought this looper is a perfect machine for keyboard players like us and i am keen to get one for myself. I haven’t used loopers ever since because i’m used to use drum machines.
Just a thought and my curiosity, the way i look at it, Creating all these parts together will take a while to complete before the actual song starts.
That is a typical downfall of loopers. The trick is to make the builds quick and engaging. Or some arrangements you can build as you go (like I tried to do in this video). Sometimes the builds can be entertaining, but best to keep them simple enough to be all that you need so they don’t take forever. That’s my. 2 cents.
Great, I am thrilled, you are an unbelievable woman artist!
Excellent 👍 you are a man who comments!
did they fix that rec issue that the mk2 had that the mk1 didnt, that issue u mentioned in your first review of it
I mentioned an issue with the rec? I’m not sure what you’re referring to
Hello, what effects do you use for sing?
I try but a don't know how do it
The only effects I’m using in this video is reverb 👍
Really enjoy You videos:) Cant figure out the diffrents between rc 505 and 600.
Im leaning towards rc 600 Since Im a piano and guitar player - Then i have my Hands free.
But in Which situations are the 505 better ?
Again - realy enjoy your work. Keep it up😊
Casper, Denmark
The 505 is easier to get to some of the more intricate settings. But for me, it’s still more practical in a gig to use the 600 because like you said, keeps ur hands free to play.
Sometimes I like to bring the 505 if I’m just singing with others who can carry the lions share of the instrument playing 👍
Fantastic. Do you know the story behind this song? Who wrote the song, and who was killing her softly? It's pretty interesting.
You have a beautiful voice. I've just started using my first looper, the RC-600. Your videos are a wonderful learning resource.
Thank you!!!
Was Roberta Flack the writer?? I would love to know the back story!!
