It normally works the way you want. You probably have a parameter set where
you don't realize what it does. (sampler style, autorecord, etc.) You might
want to start back at the default parameters. (hold the parameter button
down while you power up to restore defaults, keep it held til it gets to
the play state.) Set it to 3 loops with the MoreLoops parameter, and play
around with that for a while. Once you get the hang of the more basic use,
then try experimenting with some of the more advanced parameters.

do you mean it is overdubbing always, or is recording a new loop? If it is
overdubbing, you may have it in Delay mode. The it will act like a delay
where the input is always open and audio is always being fed into the delay
line. Check the Loop/Delay parameter, make sure it is in Loop. (which is
the default, so it will be Loop if you reset the parameters.)
