  • Live looping rhythms? Use Overdubbing to build up your rhythm sections rather than building it all at once!
    Recorded via the Zoom H4n Pro: amzn.to/2we9scM
    Loop pedal used: amzn.to/2kZMUDV
    Welcome to the first Thursday Tech Tips video for 2020! It's been a long time since I did a live looping video tutorial for you all, and finally here is the first one of many more.
    The main thing I share is that you don't have to loop and record complex rhythms all at once, perhaps you simply record the kick and snare part first - get that nice and tight and grooving - and then you can use overdubs to put in a high hat part, or loop another percussion section.
    Building your rhythms to jam over can be pretty fun and you can be pretty inventive and creative - especially when you're at home looping. Also this video is about live guitar looping - I'm not using any additional inputs or instruments to create the rhythms!
    Hope you have fun with it, and really nice to be back!

    Good to see you back, David. Watch out you don't end up with a hole in that Takamine. I almost did that -- I ended up sticking a pickguard on it when the wood got literally paper-thin right where yours is wearing through. Very sweet solo on that last loop, by the way!

Hadn't considered a pickguard... would be a really tough call for me - I really like the guitar as it is - even if i make a hole haha, not sure I could bring myself to add something onto it! 😬

    Dave. Such a pleasure to see you create those grooves and its so natural. I've been trying to get a good percussive sound as it would definitely lift my arrangements to another level but I can't get the snare drum to sound like that when I tap the top of the guitar. Just sounds real muddy. Am I missing something or do you use an external microphone?

    Love these videos , thank you for taking the time to do them.. so my question is when making up loops does your longest overlay have to go first ? For example if I want to loop 4 chords does every overlay have to be the same length ?

    • @davidshanhun
      @davidshanhun  Před 3 lety

      heya! Great question and totally depends on what gear and looper you're running! For the RC300 for example, yes - the loops have to be the same length. For the ditto x4, or the RC300, or the voicelive3, they can be different lengths. 😊 What is your pedal atm?

    Thanks for the tips. Any tips on how to get better percussion sound from an acoustic? I have a Taylor 314 and any percussion I try is barely audible through my amp. Any tips or things I can try to improve this are appreciated, thanks!

    • @davidshanhun
      @davidshanhun  Před 4 lety

      Hi Michael - sorry slow reply on this! Firstly I would set up your gear and experiment tapping/hitting etc across a lot of the guitar and see what sounds you can find. You've likely already done that and maybe are still stuck. Soo, secondly, I recommend trying to find or create a present/or combo of your fx/pedals, that accentuate certain frequencies on your guitar etc for percussion. Eg if you aren't getting much bottom end for a kick sound try adding in an octave pedal, or simply raising your bass eq on your actual guitar whilst looping that section. You can do a similar thing with a higher frequency to get a bit more snap from a snare sound or string slap etc. Hope that helps and perhaps in the meantime you've figured something out haha!

  • @stephengohl2662
    @stephengohl2662 Před 4 lety +1

    David, what's the secret or trick with the actual mechanical foot switches that you have on your looper??
    I have a Boss 300RC looper in the man cave, which has, what I can best describe as "electronic foot switches, so its very easy to get the actual start / stop timing right, and everything sounds tight.
    But in my other playroom I have a small Nux looper, which has the same type of mechanical footswitch as on your looper, and I can never get the precise start/stop timing right..
    does the start/stop begin when the switch hits the bottom position? the fully returned to top position??? or as soon as it leaves the full bottom and start its upward route??
    hope you understand what I am asking here? when are those tyes of mechanical foot switches engaged??

    • @davidshanhun
      @davidshanhun  Před 4 lety +1

      Hey Stephen! I understand your question, I'm not sure at what actual point the switches trigger. I aim to hit them at the same time as a pretty strong down stroke on my guitar and this seems to work haha! Haven't used the nux looper, so perhaps it's a bit more fiddly? That's the little yellow one eh?

      the actual foot switch is the same type... that mechanical metal click type.. but I just cant figure out when it actually engages .. sometimes I can nail it.. other times you get that awkward dead spot between loops..... at least with the Boss RC300 it will automatically close the loop for you..
