Just to further elaborate, once I lay down loop 1, does that set the bounds
for the
remaining loops? What happens if loop 1 is longer than loop 2? Will loop 2
just be
extended with silence for the duration of loop 1?

Also, if I start loop 2 back up, does it start right away, or does it wait
until the beginning
of  loop 1 again?

The info I've been able to find isn't very clear on this.

Thanks!

Paul
