*This is true, and just as with all looping devices, each one has a 
certain latency that one has
to learn in order to be accurate, rhythmically.
Each software package has different latencies.

If you record enough,  you get a good sense for playing with slightly 
different latencies and
it helps your over all sense of time and timing.

That's why I always say that playing with looping devices has done more 
to help my own sense
of time and timing than playing with all the click tracks and master 
drummers from around the world
that I've been blessed to have played with.
