Looper: How to delete a bad first take and start recording another loop?

[rgrainer]

I have just got my hands on a Helix LT in the last two days and updated to the latest firmware and the latest Helix editor. I think I'm sort of getting the hang of the looper and buttons for controlling it. I've made some short loops and then noodle over top of them. But if I make a mistake on the first take on my loop (let's call it the base loop), how do I immediately cancel that loop and start a new base loop? Is there a single button switch that can do this? 

I know that the undo button works fine if I try to do an overdub and don't like it, it cancels out or erases the second overdub track, as expected.

There is nothing about this in the manual or in searching the knowledge base. 

Thanks

You simply start recording a new loop, as if it were your first take. Each time you hit the Record (not overdub) button a new loop is started, replacing any previously recorded loop.

Stop, then Rec to clear old loop and start recording a new one.
