I am not an expert but I want to say you are experiencing a delay in the loop when you stop and start playing again. This could be due to a number of factors, including the processing power of your device, the size of the audio file, or the settings in your loop software. Here are a few things you can try to reduce the delay: Reduce the size of the audio file: If your audio file is large, it may take longer for your device to process the loop. Try reducing the length of the audio file or converting it to a lower quality format to see if this reduces the delay. Adjust loop settings: Some loop software may have settings that can be adjusted to reduce the delay. Check the settings in your software and see if there is an option to adjust the loop start time or buffer size. Upgrade your hardware: If your device is older or has limited processing power, it may struggle to process loops quickly. Consider upgrading your device or using a dedicated loop pedal or controller to help reduce the delay. Use a pre-recorded loop: If you don't want to record the loop in real-time, you can try using a pre-recorded loop instead. This can help eliminate the delay and allow you to play the loop instantly. Practice timing: With some practice, you can learn to time your loop so that the delay is less noticeable. Try starting the loop a few beats before you need it to start and see if this helps.
