"Looper Trippin'" is the latest in demented little jamathons on the looper and this one goes out about eleven minutes but, well, it's been a long trip! The distortion problem is not solved and getting the signal through the looper without clipping is turning out to be quite the festive trick. But if it were easy then it wouldn't be a good trick so that beat goes on.
There is no clipping in the recording software; it's taking place in the looper and the resulting clipped waveform is sent through to the software on the computer. There is nothing to monitor audio levels on the Boss RC-50 looper other than a little red light which is pretty close to useless. There are five or six loops at the bottom of "Looper Trippin'" but the number of them isn't what causes the clipping. It's the overall signal level going into it that does it and that probably sounds like an easy thing to correct but it isn't. I'm not defensive about it, I'm just trying to explain the problem. To a point I enjoy solving problems like this as the result will be pretty cool because it will mean, technically-speaking, that I can push the bitch to the wall.
