OK the video below says it all. But If I start a loop with the deck paused and then hit - let's say - 16 bar loop; it works fine. But; if the song is playing and I hit the loop button the loop begins well prior to when the loop button was pressed. I never had this issue until this last update (that I can recall).
Here's the video...

Could this be the setting that you need to check ?

Hmmmm...is that a new setting? Cuz I've never noticed it before. It fixed the issue (it was on smart) but I have never noticed that setting before. Thanks Freppa.

In the loop options, do you have "back" enabled?

There is a popup window asking which behaviour you prefere when yu try to set your first loop. Maybe yu did not read it completely and just clicked ok ;-)

Hi Jakovski-
I keep getting the popup box and regardless of what I choose, the same thing happens where the loop starts way before the beginning. I'll change my options tomorrow to see if that works.

Even if back is enabled - logically I would still call this a bug or maybe an oversight.
There is no reason to be looping say 16, 32, 64 beats if the position of the song is negative zero.
I can see this behavior causing problems with inexperience users if they try to loop a track at the start of a song for example 16 beats but the song never starts because the back loop mode is enabled and the track is looping in negative zero territory - and for the life of them they can't figure out why the track is not playing..

Let them figure it out, ask here or quit, we can't keep pace with the slowest, evolution doesn't work like that.

This is a good point that's been raised.
The 'back mode' should be smart enough to know where the beginning of the track is, and not to loop before that - it shouldn't be able to.
Likewise, if you're 4 bars into a track and you select an 8 bar 'back loop' it shouldn't allow it.

Maybe you want that, 4 beats of silence 4 of beats of music.
@gkon116 you want to set backLoopWizard to no

Maybe you do, but it shouldn't loop what isn't there.
Most people have files where the audio starts after a few ms. That's how they're sold, that's how they're usually ripped.
If the silence is not actually present as data in the file, then the looper shouldn't be creating it of its own accord.

No no no, I disagree, I like the fact, if say I'm on absolute beat 16 and I 'goto - 32' that it goes back 32 and stays in sync, as it is, is the most versatile, You can't account for user error.

Wow, it would seem to me, that if I get burnt touching the fire the first time, I have learned my lesson. If you don't want the loop to go backwards, turn it off. Now, if you turn off the back loop, and it still does it, then we have an issue. I got the pop up the first time, turned it off, and it has not come on again.
