I have to wonder though, how many people left the building in between those
interesting moments :)

I guess it depends on the content that's out of sync.

In my simpleton situation of having a drum loop and a rhythm guitar part on
seperate

In a more "truely loopy" environment, I suppose it could be very trippy in 
a
cool and hard to predict way.
