Not exactly. I loop with the DL4, keyboards, samplers, and other
mysterious things. I do transitions for the most part by sustaining a
complex, rhythimic tone or texture or melody, and fade out the previous
loop with the mixer (if I have a free hand) or the expression pedal on the
DL4, stop the loop, start a new loop of what i'm doing without hearing the
output from the dl4, then fade out the note while bringing up the dl4
level and pray I looped it right.

Needless to say, this is a pain in the ass. If I had feedback control, I
could fade out the previous loop without killing the output of the DL4,
and I could monitor the new loop while creating it.
