Boss RC5. Using a looper for backing tracks with a band.

In this video I demonstrate why I chose the Boss RC5 as my backing track playback device for track and metronome playback with my band Kampala. It's not the intended primary use of the RC5 but I've seen a few people demoing it in this capacity here on YouTube so I thought I'd show why I think it's such a great tool for this purpose. It's the ability to load tracks with the software, the ability to name the tracks and most importantly the ability to recall the preset memory slots with MIDI. This allows me to call up the right loop for the right song from my HX Effects and so removes some massive headaches for me when starting a song at a gig. I demonstrate all of this in the video. All in all an outstanding Looper that does this task particularly well.
