help me figure out this 4-track Looper-based setup? clipping

[wellsoliver]

I have a nice project with two audio inputs (external 1 & 2), grouped and sending to a send (sending to Sends Only). I then have four audio tracks that have their Audio From receiving from that send (Post Mixer), each with a Looper (one at 2 bars, then 4, then 8, then 16). It looks like this:



Each Looper has its Record and Clear buttons set to pads on an MPK MK2 so I can press one to clear track 1, another to record, and so on. It's nice.

My issue is that there's lots of clipping: essentially when I record on the 2-bar looper and it starts playing back, that same sound is being played from the Audio EXT-1, so it clips pretty heavily.

I feel like there's a better solution here for what I plan to use as an improvisational looper set... Any tips?

check out the monitoring menu at the right hand side of the looper. You probably want it set to 'never'

yeah, each Input -> Output selection of each Looper is set to Never...
