Offset Looping

Bring back the record in a loop.

You can create offset patterns by releasing the record off beat and then adjusting via baby scratches to bring the record back on beat.

Baby scratches help buying time to shortening the loop by spinning back the other record at the same time.

In

You can get into the pattern by shortening a loop and then releasing into. A baby scratch helps to buying some time to bring back the other records.

Alternatively, get into the pattern using kick or snare pops or by any pattern that ends on an eighth note offset. Disadvantage could be that you are not on the same part of the records. Need to try out a bit.

Out

Simply stay on the left record.
