SooperLooper Forum

I am in the process of migrating my live looping setup from my Boss RC-30 to SooperLooper.

I have percussion on my main loop (loop 1) that I record first. I then want to record loop 2, which must be synced with loop 1, but I don't want to start it at the exact same starting point. Is there a way to start the recording of loop 2 at the place where loop 1 is currently playing? Let's say I have an eight beat percussion track on loop 1, and I want to start adding background vocals on beat 7 or so, and then keep recording it for an entire loop around (i.e., until the second beat 7)?

The setup I'm currently using is:
quantize: loop
loop 2: sync and play sync

This mostly works, but I lose the lead-in for beats 7 and 8, because the recording doesn't start until beat 1. I just want the two loops to be completely synced, but I don't want to be constrained to have to start them at the same position. In essence, I'd want the first loop 2 recording to just be an overdub of loop 1, but I need to be able to mute and unmute them independently.

Any thoughts?

Click "rel sync" on and it should work the way you want. But remember to push rec button again before beat 7 or you have an extra cycle.

Well, that was easy. Thanks, that's much better.

Is there a setting for changing the behavior so that I don't have to stop that loop at all? I.e., loop 2 behaves as an overdub of loop 1? I can re-learn if I need to, so no big deal.

press record twice and it should work? I think there's no other way.
