Re: New to this and need set up help

can't help you with the mics, but for what you are talking about, the RC-50 is just too much everything(price and capability). As a guitarist, I play with an RC-20XL and thats more than enough for what you are talking about.

 

also look at akai headrush delay and phrase sampler pedal

Ok, hey guys. Brand new to the site and getting a new loop machine. I don't need much. I am just curious what I would need to be able to create live vocal loops and also be able to record them in real time. I am a singer and beat boxer. Right now I am looking at the boss RC-50 (is there a loop machine more appropriate for non instrumental loopers?) and a microphone.

I was curious what i would need to be able to plug this into my 13.3" MacBook notebook and record my sessions, and if there is some way to utilize the speakers i have instead (computer speakers) of buying an amp (I'm to poor right now).

Also i was curious if there where any mic recommendations for a mic that will pick up minimal background because i plan to loop live, but if the mic is picking up other loops as i make new ones, i wont be able to fully ever drop a loop. Maybe some mics are highly directional? that would be best, because it would be cool to be able to record the audience and such too if i where to point the mic their way. maybe thats to much to ask.

I love the idea of this mailing list and this site. I cant wait to get involved in the conversations.
