The reason that I think this still kinda sucks is that, even though there is a little bit of silence at the beginning of the loop, the loop length is perfect, so if you remove that little bit in the beginning, you are now shortening the loop. so if you sample a synth or something that needs to loop around to match the beginning its not all there and it wont sound quite right. there is small amount of audio missing from the loop that never gets recorded.

I also remember this working differently in the past. IIRC the audio track used to record until you hit stop and the rest of the track would continue to loop in the back ground. Ill have to dig through my os archive to confirm this.

What do you mean with "the loop length is perfect"?
It isn't by far : I have to manually press stop and trim everything off that's excess at the end. I've allways been doing that by calculating how many sample's my loop should be (based on tempo and length in bars/beats). Therefore i'm very glad JJ reinstated the manual entry in the start/end boxes of the trim window. There's no info lost though, the very first beat is right there (I remember checking with a short transient sound at the beginning of my loop), there's just excess silence in front of that the MPC ignores because of the start setting (so a sample recorded never starts at sample point 0).

additive POST-LFO waveforms, simulted to a pad with a different sample.

example: sine wave, downtuned to a solid bass, set to note on, LFO set to a rate of 1.48 (project tempo 180), set to SAW DOWN, pitch set to 100, filter to 0, LEVEL to say 60-90.

play with kick - additive sound is a boomy low frequency down-tuning kick. change rate to make shorter/longer.

resample playing JUST the waveform (without original to which the pad is simulted). trim it to perfect size. remove all parameters from the original waveform pad, replace the SINE wave sample with your new resampled post-lfo waveform.

On the latest os, if I have loop on, the recording stops at the end of the sequence. if you look at the sample length of this its exactly what it should be.
