BOSS VE-8 amzn.to/2MXJqyI

Oh M G! Thank God! I have been trying to figure this out forever. Thank you so much.

Thank you, DEB! This was super helpful! The boss user manual is helpful, but this took it to the next level.

@dkdowntown Год назад

Thank you, Deb! This was, as always very helpful for me. I've been wanting to add an XLR line selector pedal to record guitar without vocals, which would easily be $150-200. I never used the loops on my VE-8 because I loop in an RC-300, so you showed me with the vocal selector off on my VE-8 I can singing play while only recording my guitar, which is perfect for a lot of my songs and now i can experiment more with my options without dropping more on gear. Thank you for helping all of us with such clear instructions and well produced recordings.

@michaelkelly6583 5 лет назад

I just did an outdoor concert with a friend and brought along the VE8. I had it set up properly and with he help of your instructions all went well. Plus the performance was great fun.

@DebErney 5 лет назад

you can get a better sound with a mixer BUT the VE-8 is so much fun to use and it sounds pretty good for everything. I enjoy just sitting down and playing with mine. I've recently used external foot switch with it and it does add quite a bit to the unit. Will be posting that in the next few weeks. Love the VE-8 and I'm not surprised at all that you had fun with it.

@Stevesoffthecouch 5 лет назад

Deb,I just subscribed.I enjoy yor topics and instruction. Maybe you can answer this for me. Is there a way to connect the out put ofthe boss directly into the ipad (Using the cck cable and perhaps a conversion cable on the xlr). I would like to record a video of me singing and playing the guitar using the video camera on my ipdad. I currently do this now with the tc helicon Play acoustic,which similar to the Boss as far as vocal processing.My problem is latency between the my playing /singing and the actual video.Do you think it’s possible to do this without daw software or DI? Or without recording audio then video and syncing?

@fortaul1018 Год назад

My VE 8 is arriving today and I plan on experimenting with the guitar mono out via XLR or Line out to determine which input my Bose S1 Pro likes better for the guitar. I have read that there should be less ground floor noise when the guitar is sent via XLR. But on a side note, I wonder if setting both the XLR and Line to 4 so each has L Guitar mono and R Vocal mono versus setting XLR to 8 (vocal mono) and Line to 9 (guitar mono) has any affect on sound or volume of the output signal volume. I imagine the output should be consistent whenever mono is selected in all cases.

@DebErney Год назад

Play with it and see what suits you. You are going to love it.

This is not geared towards usb recording. While it will send usb signal you’d have much better results with dedicated DAW.

Hi thanks for great tutorial video,I have a question I just bought zoom g6 pedal effects processor and I want to connect to ve 8,which is first to chain to direct to mixer not affecting the sound of my g6 zoom,thanks in advance

@DebErney Год назад

Effects chain from left to right will flow through one another. I would put the G6 after the ve-8. Any effects from ve-8 are going into the g6 so make sure guitar effects are off.

is there a way to output the computer usb audio out throught the guitar outputs without the vox or guitar being heard. As in, guitar and vox outputed to the two XLR outputs seperately, and just computer audio outputted through the jack outs?

?????

@hardcorecountryband8142 Год назад

If I use 2 and 3 which is the vocal and guitar stereo seperate, do I have to run (2) XLR lines out and (2) 1/4" lines out?

@DebErney Год назад

You can do that or run left right through either 1/2 or XLR. Settings in your manual show how to accomplish this pg 5

@shawnlayneofficial 3 года назад

Hi Deb - Thank you for the wonderful demo. Question, when you are performing multiple loops keep in mind, say your'e on your second overdub loop and you mess it up, do you have the ability to erase that messed up overdub while leaving the loop your were tracking to? Hope that makes sense.

@DebErney 3 года назад

you can long hold and it should erase the current overdub? If I remember correctly and tap twice and hold to clear everything.

hello, can i use the ve 8 for the vocals only? no guitar i just want to use the harmonies for vocals

@DebErney 2 года назад

On paper yes. In reality it doesn't work very well. The VE-8 does better with the guitar to create better harmony then when used alone.

@jackbagbaga291 4 года назад

Thanks for this video. You use the output settings as to the number in succession. Can I also make the Vocal stereo by using XLR No. 2 and Guitar mono by using Line no. 9? or even vice-versa?

You can select any option combination you want.

@rabinrai5203 3 года назад

hi can u use this as an audio interface and record two seperate audio tracks for vocals and guitar in your DAW? or should i just buy a focusrite?

I do this by panning hard right for guitar and hard left for vocals. Then you can bring it into your software via usb card and separate the channels.

So would number 7 be best if I want guitar and vocals in mono to go into one channel on my PA speaker? Why would anyone want stereo unless you are using 2 speakers?

Thank you Deb I just got the Boss VE-8 using it with a Bose L1 pro 8 Could you give me an idea for best inputs for my solo guitar/vocal setup Thanks .. Joe

@DebErney Год назад

I use the #4 settings (on page 5) with guitar left and mic right. That way I can use the left right of the XLR or the 1/4”. I was told by Sweetwater the RCA outputs of the Bose L1 are the best to use. You can use adapters for RCA to XLR = 2 of these cables amzn.to/3PdizR6 OR RCA to 1/4” = 2 of these cables amzn.to/45Ie6ex

@Mj-bg2uj 4 года назад

Hey Deb, you give the most informative videos on this machine .. I just bought the Fs -6 pedal and I’m trying to figure out how to set it so that when I hit the pedal once it stops the loop .. I hate that you have to double tap the small button to get it to stop.. I see in the directions you can set an external foot switch to stop the looper but I can’t figure it out ! Any advice ?

@DebErney 4 года назад

I really thought I had done a video on this but after looking I see I didn’t. Just finished video going through this step by step. You can stop and clear looper with the Ext pedal which is a huge help. You have to have the pedal buttons all to the left position then set it up. I’ll send you the link once video is up.

@Mj-bg2uj 4 года назад

Deb Erney thank you so much ! Your videos are the most informative out there on this machine . The directions are not easy to follow and boss puts out videos where nobody says a word but they push a bunch of buttons.. they should put you on the payroll ! Thanks again

When you factory reset is there any firmware that has to be reloaded. Assuming you can do firmware updates on the VE 8. Thanks.

Yup. So search on boss website for VE-8 firmware updates. They can be a bit tricky. Got to my channel and BOSS VE8 playlist. Think I show how I did it.

@madmartinline6 5 лет назад

I am trying to connect an FS6 type footswitch to the VE8 using a stereo cable to the memory jack. I want the lefthand switch to control the looper & the righthand switch to bring in the vocal harmony when required. I can only get the footswitch to get the harmony but unable to get it to control the looper. I have read & reread page 13 on the manual but unable to figure it out. Maybe I am a bit stupid ! Can anyone please help me before I go insane ?

@DebErney 5 лет назад

On the back of your FS6 you POLARITY AND MODE switches. These must be set properly. AND you have to use a TRS 1/4” cable. The TRS has 2 black bands around it instead of 1. Page 6 of your manual. Then on page 13 of the manual you will see how to set the VE-8 to operate with an external foot switch.

@scottschmittmusic 8 месяцев назад

If I use another pedal where does it fit in the chain

@DebErney 8 месяцев назад

Ur signal runs in thru and out. I would try it after, but that depends whether or not you want effects to control sound or stay the same.

@shellydianenovascotia3914 5 лет назад

Hi Deb....I just got a Boss VE-8 and trying to figure out some basics....and how to save a loop?

@DebErney 5 лет назад

You cant save loops. Once the power is turned off your loop is gone. You can however, save different effects setups and harmony functions. I haven’t even begun to touch on all the functions of the VE-8. We all learn as we go. You are going to love it. Use it for practice to start out then venture into the deeper functions.

@shellydianenovascotia3914 5 лет назад

@@DebErney Thanks Deb....if anyone can figure this out..,you can.....I would love to see a video from you on using garageband on an ipad with the Boss VE-8 to add in sounds/instruments to a loop.

@DebErney 5 лет назад

The VE-8 relies on instrument input for harmonies so you have to use a direct instrument input. I’ve used the VE-8 to record with Logic Pro X ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-VfGxD5VtyQE.html. The VE-8 doesn’t suggest that it can be used to record with ipad but you never know.

@shellydianenovascotia3914 5 лет назад

@@DebErney Can you give advise on the Harmonies for this? I have a pretty nice voice, but when I set to high/low I sound totally out of tune. Please keep in mind Deb, I DON"T have any technical knowledge of this equipment in your explanation, so please keep it "simple" for me :-) . Thanks

@DebErney 5 лет назад

Shelly Diane is your uku plugged in? If it isn’t you will have to manually set the key for song. The harmonies rely on a clean sound going in OR setting the VE-8 to the key of the song. Where the Harmony button is make sure both the lights are lit up. I always use the hybrid setting for harmonies. On page 6 of your manual.

@Sonstwer 2 года назад

I was wondering, do you hear a difference between the stereo signals and the mono signals. Are the effects, reverb etc. different in stereo? Does this pedal take two mono signals and somehow makes stereo signals out of them? I am asking because I want to use 4 cables to go into my mixing station and record the signal. I wonder if it makes more sense to have dry and effect signal separated for voice and guitar or if the stereo sounds so much better, therefore i would not record the dry signal as a backup.

@DebErney 2 года назад

Page 5 of your manual. You can use 2 XLR and 2 1/4” outputs at the same time.

@@DebErney oh sorry, i didn't make myself clear. I was wondering if the quality of the voice and guitar channels in mono or stereo was different
