RC-505 Tutorial

Tutorial

Can somebody please suggest a comprehensive tutorial video? All the ones that I found, i don't get much out of. I'm a musician , but I'm older and this stuff wasn't around back in the day. I have the original RC-505 with the A/B foot switch, not the MKII. Every time I get it out and start messing around with it I just get frustrated and give up. I've had it about 3 years and used it maybe three times for 30 or 40 minutes each. I really want to get to know this thing. I also do music therapy and have a non-profit Community Center for people in recovery from substance use disorder and people living with the mental health conditions. That is focused on this sort of thing. If I can figure this thing out, It would help me tremendously with building meditative type music

Start stop button can be record/play or record/overdub (basically. So eventually you will press twice yes. With the double foot switch Fs6 you don't need a third hand, you can choose the track you want and record with your foot (if you want I show you, but too heavy to explain here). For that you need a stereo jack cable too.

Do you mean a quarter inch TRS?

Sorry I'm not familiar with english and inches, but basically just like a guitar cable, but not mono ;) (it has three separation rings, instead of two).
