	Loopy Pro's default settings generally result in click-free loops. If your recordings have sharp transients at the very beginning of the loop, this can result in the transient being blurred. ~~There are a few settings to look at. These can be changed at~~ the ~~global, color, or individual loop level.~~		Loopy Pro's default settings generally result in click-free loops. If your recordings have sharp transients at the very beginning of the loop, this can result in the transient being blurred. See the article [[Troubleshooting Transients]]

	* '''Loop Boundary Crossfade''' - crossfades the loop beginning and end to eliminate clicks. The default setting is 50 ms. The minimum setting is 0.

	* '''Fade In / Fade Out''' - the default setting is Microfade. The minimum setting is Hard Zero.

	~~Set all three of these settings (Loop Boundary Crossfade, Fade In, and Fade Out) to 0 and Hard Zero. If the loop beginning is correct, use these settings.~~

	'''Check to see if an action is causing a fade in'''. If after setting those to 0, the beginning is truncated make sure that there are no actions involved in the recording process that might cause a slight fade. The unmute action has a very short fade in to reduce clicks. (NOTE: almost all digital mixers have very short-scale fade in otherwise muting and unmuting would be very prone to clicks).

	'''Sync issues'''. If you are recording something that is MIDI-synced, there may be a slight offset. In the synchronization settings for Loopy Pro, select your device and see if changing the offset solves the problem. Try both negative and positive offsets.
