Was just reading through this thread again.
I am now recording prerecorded backing tracks from other sources to the Aeros in Freeform mode and hitting the next part once it hits 2 minutes. I can then record the whole backing track. The change in parts is seamless and works well but in order to play it back I have to press once to start the song, immediately press next part to cue the rest of the song and then press again to stop at EOL.
I’m buying a RC-5 stereo Boss pedal to play the songs recorded in the Aeros
to simplify my live performances. Aeros requires too much attention especially after playing 50 tunes that way during a gig.
The RC-5 has a built in “stop after playing loop” called 1stop built in.
It can record up 1.5 hours in one loop.
I know of no serious looper that restricts its loops to 2.5 minutes.
We are all retrying to find workarounds because the Aeros is something special. Frankly I can’t get enough of it and am looking at it as a production tool as opposed to a performance tool. Right now the Boss RC-5 will give me stereo, 32 bit sound and 99 banks of songs with up to 13 hours of tunes. I will not use the built in drums on the Boss. and will record the Beat Buddy on the Aeros for drums before re-recording the final songs with all the foot presses to the Boss for a one press performance for each one.
I really hope this changes and the Aeros will eventually offer longer loops that allow a one press play through along with file import.
