How to use Giada as a looper

[xlq]

I tried out the Giada 1.1.1 Linux build with JACK and I'm confused about how to use it as a looper. When a track is armed for recording, the track cannot be heard. I can record a loop, and even overdub, but I don't hear anything until the track is disarmed, at which point audio playback starts abruptly. I can't see how this is useful as a looper. I should be able to record a loop, and when it loops round, start overdubbing the start of the loop (to record tails etc.) while being able to hear the start of the loop. Is there a setting I'm just missing somewhere?

Hi @xlq, thanks for your feedback. We have plans for a complete overhaul of the live recording experience in version 1.6. That said, enabling the "input monitor" flag on a given channel allows to hear what you are currently recording. More info: https://www.giadamusic.com/documentation-live-sampling . Let me know if that helps. Thanks!

I can hear what I'm recording no problem - I just can't hear what I've already recorded, until the track is disarmed. Which will be half way through the loop because I don't see how to queue a disarm up.
