I am importing a tight, eight bar loop in mp3 format and am transferring the file via iTunes file sharing. This is the first loop in my sequence. Every time it plays back it sounds good until it gets to the very beginning of the loop where a small gap seems to get inserted by loopy. I have checked the audio file repeatedly and even cropped it excessively to test what will happen to the new file on import .... every time I get the same result. Is there something I am missing here? Does the first track need to be composed digitally with a drum app in order to play back seamlessly?
Thank you so much for any advice you can offer.
