I’ve been requesting the ability to save loops on the QC for a long time, which is effectively the same as having backing tracks on the QC: Headrush have had this ability for ages, and I think NDSP are really missing a trick not introducing a feature like this. Bottom line is you can post here and add Feature Requests but nothing with NDSP happens quickly. I’ve even picked up a Headrush Core the other day, just to see how useable the Practice Tool on it is. So far I’m really impressed; you can save loops to the looper library (it’s a simple drag-and-drop process, the HR units appear as an external hard drive when you connect them to your computer) but you can’t unfortunately select loops from the library using your feet - you have to use the touch screen for that, so that’s a lot of bending down to access the screen if you’re playing live) The Practice Tool however is a really good option; you drag sound files (mp3/wav etc) in to the Practice Tools folder when you’re connected to a computer, and then they appear on the Core/Prime when you access the Practice Tool (and you can assign a footswitch to access the Practice Tool) Then you can play/stop the files (and also do a lot of other things like fast forward/rewind etc) with footswitches but the best feature, from a live performance pov is that you can select the next or previous track, using f/switches, so you don’t have to bend down. This makes these units really useful if you’re a solo or duo act, and want backing or drum/bass tracks as you can load these to either a USB stick, on to the device itself, or just stream them from your phone/table at the HR units have Bluetooth. This is the kind of features I’d really like to see NDSP add to the QC, but as I said, nothing happens quickly… If you take a look here, you can see my feature request for saving loops… > [@Feature Request - Save Looper loops within the internal memory](https://unity.neuraldsp.com/t/feature-request-save-looper-loops-within-the-internal-memory/8740): > > As a newbie here this may have been covered, but coming from Headrush to the QC, however good I think the QC is (it sounds glorious!) there is one thing that makes the Headrush MX5, which costs a 1/4 of the price, stand out is the way you can save and load loops in the looper function. This makes it an incredible writing tool, as you can literally save any loop you like in the the memory, and export it as a .WAV file to use elsewhere. And the ability to store loops in .WAV format means you have… --- _[View the full topic](https://unity.neuraldsp.com/t/integration-of-backing-tracks/15394)._
