Hi, I guess there must be some part of information missing here because what you are describing is simply not possible! As I understand it you are doing three things: 1. Kick Record. 2. Play your instrument (which is now being recoded by the looper). 3. Kick Record. Now, you're saying that after this process the loop starts playing back "faster or ahead of time". But no looper in the world can read your thoughts an know in advance when you will kick Record the second time to close the loop, set the loop point and start playback of the recorded loop! ;-)) Please fill us in with the missing pieces so we can sort this out! (BTW, you still have your email client set to your own address in the "Reply to" field. This is why your list posts are sent back to you privately instead of to the list) Per On Thu, Sep 4, 2008 at 10:15 AM, L.A.
