Re: Macbook Looping V rc-20xl



Well, what do you need?

1, An interface box with a mic pre and inputs for your beatbox. Just a
sec, off to Google...

This would work, $64.

2. The beatbox. I'd actually love to hear the options here.

3. A full-range amp of some kind. I'd suggest those three-piece
computer speakers -- they sound pretty good and cost $50.

4. The mic. I like my round blue mic, What is it? Here, $100:

5. Sooperlooper works for your looper, and you have your hands free,
so you can forego the footpedal. Or Augustus Loop.

6. Garage Band.

There, you're good. $200 + the beatbox.
