  Producing loops is all in the timing. Typically you

 what you want several times without recording it once you have got a 
 good rhythm going then click once at precisely the beginning of the 
 cycle and again at precisely the beginning of the next cycle. This 
 will ensure a smooth loop.

 Practice your timing and rhythm skills. I use Freewheeling with a 
 dance mat - I also play stepmania.... Stepmania improves my timing heaps. I bought
a dance pad. I'll experiment with it..

Mmh I can't get stepmania to work on Debian testing or Ubuntu

StepMania-3.9$ ./stepmania
