I used to hit the Freeze Loop button after I had played something  
into the loop but before I would play something that I did not want  
to go into the loop. Using the Freeze Loop button works best with  
loop input knob set to full input.

Another approach is to target the input level. This gives:
Input Knob Level set to full   = Overdub Mode
Input Knob Level set to zero = Playback Mode

A third trick is the Puch In function (se my earlier post)

Hm... Please forgive me if I'm mistaken (since I'm only looping in  
Mobius at the moment) but I think you have two choices with  
SooperLooper.

1) Run it as the standalone looper. This requires the Jack Utility on  
Mac and Linux. You can open more loops and set them to sync to the  
first loop. I'm not sure if each loop delivers a unique output to  
Jack. You'd better check this with the sours (SL manual or SL mailing  
list).

2) Open several instances of SooperLooper. Since you open these  
parallel instances on exclusive Audio Tracks they already are on  
separated outputs. Hence no need for an additional routing.
