I've had luck with this method too.  What I did was prerecord blank 
loops that corrasponded to something like 8 bars of a drum loop I'd be 
looping over.  It works well, because I can go right into record when 
the drums start (they start the blank loop with a midi message)  I 
stopped doing this when I do shows with other musicians.
