Thereason we tell people not to record the BeatBuddy is because usually it is best to use the BeatBuddy live in conjunction with the Aeros, but you can record anything to the Aeros, think of it as a computer-less DAW, you can record anything you want, if your purpose is to capture ideas, feel free to record the BeatBuddy to the Aeros as a drum track.
If using external SD, you just record everything into your tracks and the Wav files will be separated by track and by L/R inputs on the SD card. When you do this make sure you only copy the files from the SD and do not alter the files in any way.
Keep in mind, we add 360 samples (out of 44,100 samples at 44.1kHz) to the end of every audio file to improve crossfades, if you plan to loop the tracks, you must remove this 360 samples from the end, if you are not looping what you recorded in Aeros, it should be of no consequence!
So, when I start a song with BB the Aeros starts up and I can hear the BB and my Guitar. But when I want to replay part one and overdub on the Aeros there are no drums (BB) recorded. I can hear the recorded guitar.
The other solution would be easier, but less comfortable:
Guitar > BB > Aeros > mixer. Set volume of the BB via the volume knob on the BB in relation to the guitar volume, set overall volume on the mixer.
is there any reason you need to record the drums into the looper? We do not recommend this set up, it is recommended that you route the BB and Aeros into Mixer/PA/amps separately. The Beatbuddy in a sense already loops itself, you can get the same or similar behavior without writing the beats into the Aeros. This way you also can control the levels independently from each other.
If you need to record the drums into the Aeros, I would suggest just connecting the BB Output or headphone output into either of the Aeros inputs and also connecting the BB to the Aeros via MIDI so that the recording you make from the BB is in time with the Aeros.
For over 20 years, we have released original, innovative, and versatile samples and multi-tracks for many musical genres. Customers and critics alike have praised BetaMonkey sample library products year after year.
Whether you use Ableton Live, Logic Pro, Pro Tools, Cubase, FL Studio, Studio One, Reason, Reaper, or all other audio hardware and software DAWs, we deliver all possible loop formats that are 100% compatible. Not sure which audio format is right for you?
We deliver the styles few, if any, other sample producers will touch. Looking for grooves in 5/8, 6/8, 7/8, or 12/8? Want to build drum tracks for blues, country, fusion, jazz, metal, rock? Brazilian or percussion tracks? We probably have it.
It's not clear to me where you have your drum audio signal going from the BeatBuddy. You say you have the MIDI Out going to the Aeros Loop Station, but MIDI Out doesn't have audio so I'm guessing the MIDI out is simply to control the Aeros. Assuming you want all audio (guitar and drums) going through the Powercab independently, you would want two separate audio lines (one from the Helix and one from the BeatBuddy) going into the Powercab. If you're routing your BeatBuddy audio through the Helix that explains why it's on the loops.
A long time ago I used to use a BeatBuddy with my Helix, but I just used the Helix to send MIDI commands to control the BeatBuddy. In that case my Helix and BeatBuddy went directly to the PA with audio signals.
Ok after trial and error this evening I think the following works: I can do #1 with my current cable setup. I can also do #2 by leaving the power off to the Aeros Loop Studio. I had this idea that I wanted a chance to record/keep the loops without the drum sound recorded in them, but the midi cable starts and stops the Aeros anyway so if I try to shut off the drum it stops the loops. That is the whole idea of the midi cable. Sorry just learning.
Okay, it's been a few years since I used my BB with my Helix but here's a few things to consider. The reason you're getting the drums in the mix with the Aeros is exactly what I mentioned previously. You have the BB audio signal coming into the Helix and you have the Helix routed via 1/4" out to the Aeros. That signal includes the BB audio, and the guitar modeling audio, so that's what goes into the recording loop on the Aeros. I would probably have the BB come in via a dedicated 1/4" input on it's own separate signal chain from guitar and combine with the Helix guitar modeling output going to the XLR out to the Headrush AFTER you use a 1/4" send that goes from the Helix to the Aeros (no return signal from the Aeros).
I would consider using Path A for the guitar signal and Aeros looper patched in last, and then bypass all the guitar FX blocks by using Path 2 solely for the BeatBuddy. Plug in your guitar as normal with the looper in one of the Helix FX Loops, and use the other Return block for the BB Input. Theoretically, you could use Path A1 and A2 and possibly Path 2A as a super serial path along with Path 2B as the BB only channel.

and mono audio.
If you have a BeatBuddy or MIDI Maestro, Aeros will sync with them
automatically via MIDI. Once connected, auto quantize your loops to the
measure of the beat, utilize powerful Aeros functionality with a single
button press and more. The built-in Quick Start Guide will get you up

Before Vic and I met to experiment together, we each spent time with the looper at home by ourselves, getting somewhat familiar with the general layout. A few weeks later, Vic came over to my home rehearsal studio, where we set up our Loop Stations at the same time. Mine was mounted on my Pedaltrain 2 pedalboard and connected to several other effect pedals. Vic used his Loop Station by itself. We played tunes together and also used the loopers on our own. We would periodically go online to look up how to configure or adjust the Loop Station. We recorded our thoughts during the process, summarized below.
Vic: I really like the size of the pedal. My favorite of the previous Boss loopers is the RC 50, because it was one of the first pedals I got that gave me three different loop options in the layout. This one is even a little smaller. I love that.
Vic: I really like all of the effects on the Loop Station and the fact that we could adjust their parameters. I could take this pedal by itself and do a solo gig. Besides six separate loop tracks, I have effects like reverb, envelope filter, distortion, and others that sound really good and very useable. Essentially, you could just use it alone like a multi-effects pedal, or combine the effects with the loop features.
