What is it?
A Boss RC2 Loop station is now more important then before and for those of you who don’t know what a loop station does I will try to explain the basics of how a Boss RC2 loop station works and how it could work effectively.
The RC2 holds 16 minutes of recording time with 11 channels to trigger and this brings me to the basics of loop station which is record it live and trigger the sound you
- Up to 16 minutes of recording time
- Loop Quantize for perfect loop timing
- Realistic Guide-Tone drum patterns built in
- Easy, logical overdubbing and navigation
- Undo/Redo function
- 11 phrases can be stored and recalled
- AUX input to capture phrases from external audio device
- External pedal input (stop/tempo)
How have been using it?
I would usually use this loop station for acoustic performances, it is small and easy to carry, it is very simple to use. I would use this loop station to record the melody of a guitar, a solo part. I would also use it for singing harmonies and I would trigger the harmonies during the chorus.

What Are The Limitations?
Because it is small you wont be able to use as much instruments you might want. It can sometimes break easily and there are not enough options to mix the recordings you have recorded, meaning if I record a guitar really loud I would have to record my vocals louder which will cause distortion and feedback. The buttons are very close to each other and if your trying to use it in the dark you might press the wrong button or turn the wrong knob.
How Could You Use It Effectively In A Performance?
I would use it effectively in a performance by making the song sound like a band piece. First of all I would make sure I had pre-recorded guitar sounds in the loop station. I would also make sure that I practiced when to release the sound.
I would start playing the main guitar structure and record it onto the loop station so it will repeat and then I would start adding harmonies that will harmonise with the guitar, then I would record myself hitting the guitar to make a drum sound and then I would record vocal ad libs so they would go throughout the song and then when everything is recorded I would just sing over it and here and there play other guitar melodies.

How Have You Been Using It?
I have been using it to play a synthesised sound and record it in logic because I liked the initial sounds that I made in it. I have also used a synthesiser to upload the sounds that I like into it, for example a sound that I re-created in logic can be saved onto a USB and then uploaded onto the JUNO - STAGE.
What Are The Limitations?
It is too big to carry around, you would have to buy a hard case to keep it safe and it is very heavy you would need someone else to help you carry it and also you would have to take it in a vehicle.
How Could You Use It Effectively In A Performance?
You could use it effectively by choosing the pads option to create an atmosphere in a live performance. You can also use it to play a lead synthesised sound to replace a guitar. You can also use the juno to replace the drums or to even complement the drummer. You can also use the juno to play strings, bass, Trumpets, Saxophones and sound effects.
