I think Bill is right, I had the guy demonstrate this feature for me. It
is
really not the main thrust of the program, but it can record a loop while
it is playing back other material. I don't think it can do overdubbing or
anything else like that, it seemed pretty basic in this regard.

these programs are created for live remixing, not live looping of real
instruments being played. They don't do what you want because they were
created to do something else.
