yes, that's true. A bit of a limit of the SUS Record.

unfortunately, no, there's no way to do it with the current software. I
never liked that either, its an unfortunate tradeoff for the coolness of
SUS functions. The best you can do for reset is tap a short loop of
silence, so it shuts up. That doesn't help the multiple loop case very
much, unless you were to quickly copy this silent loop to the others, which
isn't so great either.

In the next generation software, we have a way to reset this. (through 
midi.)
