If using laptops it's good to set up a master sync clock to be
available for everyone to hook up with as slaves.

Either that or doing all manual syncing, which is what I prefer; you
listen while playing and adapt of timing is drifting. Adapting loop
sync manually can be done by instantly retrigger the (local track sync
master) loop or simply creating a new loop from scratch at the new
tempo.

If using all EDPs there is this wonderful Brother Sync function that
doesn't see any "master" or "slave" but only provides a common time
reference. But any player in the group can change his local
interpretation, as in creating shorter or longer cycles for loops.
