X2 loop recording issue

Anyone run into a timing offset issue when doing a lot of loop recording with a lot of takes?
 
When I loop a region, I do a lot of takes, maybe 20 or less, to see what I like when noodling for a lead pattern. When comping the takes, the later I go in the takes, it appears that the takes are off on the timing in which I recorded them. They sound fine as I record them, but playback is suffering a timing issue as I go com the latter tracks. The timing issue is that the takes get placed later in the take lanes that the actual meter it was recorded on. I can understand a few notes, but it seems to be the entire take. I stopped playback to make sure it was not a buffering issue and still got the offset issue for the take.
 
Anyone run into this?
 
X2 is not much better for me, but it has some possibilities. I am sorry I upgraded that version. Doesn't look like another patch is coming out for X2 either? I reported several bugs that need to be fixed in X2. I would like to see them fixed in X2.

Have a look at this thread:

Are you punching in and out in the loop, or recording the whole time?

It appears, on MY "office" system at least, that this is an issue if I set "punch" points.
I DO NOT see it (progressively farther offset clips) if I just "loop" a section and record multiple passes. (Typically I don't "punch", I just loop and record...)
I'm going to do a few more "tests" and verify on the "office" & "studio" systems.
Office specs:
Win 7 x86 FW-1884 i/o X2a Producer

I'll run the tests on 8.5.3, X1d Expanded and X2a

"Use reported ASIO latency" has ALWAYS worked flawlessly for me.

Tom

Ran my tests.
Verdict:
X1 and X2 are "flaky" if you loop and punch in.

8.5.3 handles it flawlessly!

Even many cassette 4 tracks "punch in"; right?

"I am not doing a punch in per se"

You have "Yellow" loop points and "Red" record points; right?
That's a "punch".
IF you ONLY "punch" its all good (meaning make only 1 pass).
If you loop that section, and punch multiple times (I'm sure that's what you're doing),
"Take 1" is fine, each successive take is late, and it gets worse and worse with each take.
Like I said,  even 4 track cassette units "punch in".
Shouldn't a "Professional" DAW do this, endlessly???

Since this is a looping bug, have you tried the "turn on the metronome but mute its bus" trick ?

This has solved other looping bugs, at least midi playback ones.
