YES! I've definitely experienced that. Forgetting to set the tempo
before starting a new loop persistantly messes me up. It picks it's
trim point by the tempo it's set at, so if it's tempo isn't your tempo,
 it'll do it's "Loop Point Assist" automatic trimming in the wrong
place.

Good tip, after the loop's recorded? Any tips on getting it right while
you're doing the first time through? Obviously this is something that
requires some practice, something I need to work on to get nice loops
without a couple of botched attempts.
