Hi, and welcome.
You didn't say what instrument you play. The attack characteristics
of your instrument could influence your approach here.
If you instrument has a fast attack -- say a percussion instrument,
guitar, or piano then you could spend some time to coordinate your
foot-pedal press with your starting note so that the first beat and
the start of the loop are in the same place. (I'm assuming you use a
footpedal to send midi messages to the LP1).
Another technique is to play on beat 2 of your loop... then play beat
1 when you switch to overdub mode. I use this technique quite a bit.
Also, check our noise-gate settings on the LP1. If the threshold is
too loud then the start of your note may be cut off, too.
