you probably refer to a bug in firmware 1.00, where the beginning of the first playback of the recorded loop was muted (but only for this very forst run).
The timing was said to be precise, but many users complained about this, as it's very irritating. In software 1.01 there's an optional patch but only if the internal rythmguide isn't engaged.
to be honest, my timing is probably worse than sluggish... and in fact I see this thing (for my humble use) as an excercise tool to improve it.
You have to be damn precise and extremely focussed to get the first loop right.
actually I found it pretty boring to constantly play to drum loops, the Real Book via Band-in-a-Box is a bit too much discipline and to play in a real band is a problem by schedule usually...
So I've passed that on to the Looper. I can load it with guide tracks (intro, refrain, etc) to play along.
Or I can record bass to a drumtrack, add guitar and the digital horn, even make a horn section...
it's pretty versatile as you can overdub with adding or replacing, undo-redo, or erase a part that you played better on another track.
I only had it for a couple of days, as the display failed... but I already miss it
this is so much more convenient than the PC with mouse drag here and menu there etc
the quality is not exactly VDAT, but it's not too bad either

enthusiastically invited you to tap dancing...
