Re: The loop effect I'm wanting today: A smart replace

[Mark Hamburg <mark@grubmah.com>]

That assumes that I want to do things on loop boundaries. If I can live 
with working on loop boundaries, a lot of things become easier. But maybe 
I feel that the new loop should start midway through the existing cycle 
but eventually replace the old cycle. The loop boundary in that case is 
somewhat arbitrary and simply an artifact of the initial recording. What 
may matter is the loop time. I could potentially explicitly change the 
loop start point, but that might needlessly disturb any tempo clocks being 
generated by the looper.
