As you are recording into a looper, however, whether it be an EDP, JamMan,
whatever.  Isn't there a point where you press the 'overdub' button?

Couldn't you stop at that point, record the loop onto the computer, then
copy the time length into the next loop and listen to the previous track on
the computer while composing your new overdub on the next loop?

just a thought...
