I was just thinking - as a solo guitarist these days, no band sadly - it would be a really great Looper function if you could record as you play a chorus, early on in a song, but rather than play it back immediately when you finish recording, save it to use when you solo later.
AFAIK the current looper functions don’t accommodate this - has anyone come up with a workaround or is this a future feature request?
There’s been a couple of feature request for the looper to stop recording without playback that didn’t get much traction.
During recording, the one shot button is grayed-out, so it could potentially be used for “stop rec without play”.
A workaround is to use the undo button twice:
Record, then click undo to stop the recording and undo it, then click redo to bring the recording back.
I think it’s only useful for one layer, but I’m not around the QC to verify.
But for a single layer it will definitely work.
Here’s the other post. This would be a really useful feature. In fact, I don’t really bother with the looper because this is typically what I would use it for. i.e., bring back an earlier section as backing while I bust out yet another mind-blowing solo.
Haha, I see RexRemus already suggested the undo button in the other post.
In any case, It’s a useful feature and I’ll cast my vote once 2.0 lands.
Good luck with that 
Revisiting this, as I found an elegant, although external, solution to this; using an Airstep midi pedal, I’ve set up a foot switch to send the midi command for undo on initial press of the foot switch, and also a duplicate of the same signal on release the foot switch.
What this does is send the undo/redo message twice effectively on one press of the footswitch so it ends recording immediately and doesn’t play back - and all without having you to tap dance with your feet and possibly mess it up.
If you then want to activate the loop as a backing track for a solo later in the song, all you have to do is press play, and the loop will start.
Quite pleased with myself I have to say!
