Step-by-Step Procedure for a Basic Loop Recorder

Loop recorders come in a variety of shapes and sizes. Some are standalone pedals, whereas others are software components within a larger program. In general, the concepts and procedures behind all loop recorders are the same. Each loop recorder allows you to record a sample, play back that sample and add parts to your sample. You can use loop recorders to enhance your solo musical projects or to add another dimension to your band's sound.

Instructions

    • 1

      Press the "Record" button on your loop recorder.

    • 2

      Play a phrase into the loop recorder.

    • 3

      Press the "Stop" button on the loop recorder as soon as you are done playing. On some loop recorders, the "Stop" button is the same as the "Record" button.

    • 4

      Press the "Record" button again to overdub onto your existing loop. In this way you can layer a number of different parts to create a complex loop. Some loop recorders can begin overdub mode automatically after you record the initial loop.

    • 5

      Adjust the speed and pitch as desired. Some loop recorders have one control that affects both speed and pitch, whereas others allow you to alter one without changing the other.
