I have a beat going with 3 loops all the exact same tempo-all set to different tracks. When I get to the end of the seq. there is alwalys a gap or a studder! I've tried turning the loop off and putting the sounds in step mode where they should go, (puts a slight lag on the drums) also just held the pads with loop on which keeps everthing in time but again, I get to the end and it just don't loop right! I am literally going to have a breakdown if I don't do something--PLEASE HELP ME!!

sounds like the tempo on the mpc is not set to the tempo of the loop. Find the tempo of your sample then set that on the mpc.

Nope--they're the same.

do a search buddy. this topic has been done to death. i know cause i has the same problem. i found that when i first started using phrase loops. that wouldnt loop, it has somethign to do with the mpc cutting of 5ms of each sample. use recycle to make your loops all the same tempo. then you will notice it also adds an extra bit of sound after the end point.

I always cut my loops a timy bit long to get the sound to overlap smoothly.

yeh being a lazy prick, i often do that, sample some audio find the start point and put it on modo mode. loop'd.

nah I ain't lazy, I just cut the end with some extra space so there is no silence gap.
