I've been think about getting the Boss RC-3 Loop Station to add a nice dimension to my playing. It would be a great idea to be able to lay down a rhythm track etc. to play lead with. There are numerous features of this pedal, but one that I really like is the ability to download WAV files from you computer. I was wondering if its possible to purchase prerecorded WAV format backup tracks for songs minus the lead track etc., or even minus the rhythm track. Does anyone know if this is possible? If so I will purchase the pedal.

Cheers

Hi F-Stop!

There are plenty of backing tracks available from a variety of sources. iTunes (for purchase) and Fuse (free) have several choices as do other retailers and, often you will find optional playback tracks with some DAWs. Search the net, and you will find a lot out there.

As for format, briefly (because. there are many audio formats). you should have the capability to take one compressed format (such as MP3, or AAC), or a compact disc CDA and convert it (also sometimes download it) as a WAV file. If you do not have a program that will do that - they are relatively inexpensive. You more than likely can do that with whatever you use to do your computer CD recordings. There are, of course. some backing tracks already in available wave form. (This for example only so you can see they exist - http://www.bossus.com/go/etracks/).

Because of WAV size, you are more likely to find a backing track in a compressed format such as MP3, however.

Hope this answers your question.

Enjoy that pedal :D
