robertmcollins3 Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 So I've figured out how to use the looper as to lay down a really nice Pad sound using the octoverb on the 500x. I just turn the looper on like normal, strum a chord using the octoverb, then hit the record button twice in quick succession. The pad comes out nicely. My issue is that I can't seem to layer anything else on top of it. Once I try, the volume goes up and down like crazy. I can play over the pad fine, just not dub anything else in. I've tried changing the looper from pre/post effects to no avail. Any other ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbagchee Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 I believe what is happening is that since you've recorded a really short loop, when you start recording again it is loop recording that short segment so the layers build up quick and the volume will start building up quickly. If you record your pad at the same length as a full measure of what your are playing you should get better results. One trick to get a smooth transition for your pad is to record your initial loop without playing anything and start your pad on your first overdub - that way you don't hear a skip when the loop starts over.
