Well, this is an easy one. But you will have to decide first the true 
duration of the performance.
What you will have to do is when you have the first loop set up, play it 
in 
"loop" mode, whereas the loop will play continuously with out end, then 
start recording. But you must end recording before the loop loops back, or 
you will had recorded over your first recorded loop. (Basically erasing it 
with the overdub).
Now I had mentioned that you must figure out the duration of your 
performance, by this I mean if your first loop is say 20 seconds, if you 
"play looped" that 20 seconds, it will play continuously, but you will be 
confined within that "area of time" to your performance. You could have 10 
loops recorded, and they will all play, but it would sound like that a, 
b,c, 
d will all play together. what if you wanted to give the performance some 
definition, by having say Loop A stop playing, then have Loop B, C, D 
play. 
If they all played together, it might sound like the Tower of Babel. By 
extending the Loop Play area you can give your performance a "wider" area 
to 
work in.
If that sounds too difficult, you can play with the Solo, and Mute buttons 
to manipulate what's being played interactively also.

Dj,

Is there a way to get ACID to continue looping after you end a recording.  
I
get my first track looping, but at the end of a second track, ACID stops
looping when I hit the "Stop Record" button.  I have to quickly hit play to
get ACID to start looping again.  Any suggestions?

Karl
