I generally record loops from external machines, so i just do track+record with the record parameters set to quantise rec start to length, and rec length to 64 (4 bars). Then i use that to take a ‘snapshot’ of the loop and fade over when i change. Then it’s a static recording, and won’t keep resampling. Plus it means you can plock it with various start points and remix it on the fly.
I think this video demonstrates it the best. Though from memory, i think he uses a one shot rec trig, which he re-enables when needed. Though he’s using external boxes here, the same would apply if you just set your rec trig to record track 8 or master.
Though if you want to maintain your workflow you could get it to record your que instead of master. Then it wouldn’t be constantly running through the compressor, but you do lose the flexibilty of using the que as an effects send or other router, but you do gain the ability to choose what to record in your buffer.
