Mister Tim demonstrating his all-vocal live-looping. Using just his voice and some convenient technology, Mister Tim performs full, multi-part songs live on stage. a cappella live looping one-man a cappella band FAQ: “I’m intrested in how these work. If you have recorded 6 loops for example, how does one remove 4 and 5 after that as he did on 2:20?” You’re only seeing 2/3s of the system, and the two songs I build are done slightly differently. The pedals shown are 1) Boss OC-2 Octavizer, makes notes sound an octave lower (I use if for the bass things) and 2) Digitech Hardwire DL-8 Delay/Looper. The first song (“A Loop is a Piece…”) is built just with the DL-8, basic overdub looping. What you don’t see is that I’m also running Ableton Live on my laptop, the same laptop that is filming the stationary shot (which is why you don’t see it … of course). Ableton Live allows me to mute/unmute, switch to a new loop and back again, and do all kinds of fancy tricks. The second song (which doesn’t have a name?) is done thusly. There are pedals that will allow you to store multiple sections, and to bring some layers in and out, but the DL-8 is not one of those. “What equipment should I buy to start live looping?” Difficult to say… there are many great, effective options. I recommend you start with a software-based looper – search on google, there are several good ones – that will give you an idea of how it works.

Awesome I want one of those loop machines
@jenrarr try different mics. different mics pic up sounds froun different directions, try getting one that mainly picks up sounds from the top.
COOL
Trippy
what is all the equipment that you use?
and how much do they cost, in all?
Oh shit man!! That’s the best thing I’ve ever seen. I love the metallica cover of enter sandman.
Pretty slick dude. Where’s the new album?
but I prefer the boss RC 50 xD
I Want One!
I have that same pedal! Digitech Hardwire DL-8! Great pedal, gotta love the 20 sec looper
Amazing
Hi Tim, how do you avoid the problem of feedback using the loop pedal. No matter what I do… each time I do another loop over another loop.. more and more ‘unwanted’ sounds develop to eventually cause feedback.. I play in busy places with a lot of background noise.
Amazing skills !
But man , sorry to say that, the camera job on this video is so sketchy . …
Loop pedal. Guitar Center. Rawk.
where do you get such a thing..wich mkes multitracks.. <– the thing you use ????
Yep sir, octave pedal. That’s the second pedal you see. Drops the notes down an octave so I sound like a funky demon robot.
never what of thought of using fx peddles with vocals im going to try that
He might be using an octave pedal. At least it sounds that way.
G-E-N-I-O-U-S
