3.08 Question on Audio Tracks

We're literally just finishing the last tutorial in the JJ 3.08 version of our MPC1000 ebook, and I've come across something that is doing my head in. I'm trying to record a guitar riff to an audio track (say, track 62), but the resulting audio track created features a very obvious delay (at least 1 second). Thing is, if I just record a bar or so, the resulting audio is perfectly in sync. But when I try to record anything over 3 bars, it's out of sync from the very start of the sample.

The problem seems to be due to having a recording count in (in CLICK (F2)). If I set the the count OFF, the recorded audio syncs up every time, no problem - of course this makes recording pretty tricky/impossible if you want to come in the moment the sequence actually starts. I cannot find any real mention of this problem anywhere else. Is this a known issue?

Workaround is to add an extra bar at the start of the sequence with a recorded hat click or something, but surely this isn't needed, is it?

yeah this is a known issue, workaround is to upgrade to os1 or os2 but there are others often-discussed-in-this board issues.

Cheers - seen a couple of mentions of the problem (which BTW gets worse the longer the sequence), not been able to find alternative workarounds for this though, beyond mine above.
