Logic Express 8 Precise Positioning, How to position the spilt point exactly? Options

[lanning]

I am very new to this forum. By the way of intro, I am more a computer person than a musician. I use computer music to do what I am not able to achieve on my instruments (guitars).

The question I have is with regard to positioning-synchronizing acoustic tracks with the software instruments. I recorded a few things I would like to use as loops. No matter what I do, I cannot set the loops beginnings properly. The recordings are done with metronome and so bpm is not my problem. My problem is manipulating the recorded track so that the first beat of everything happens at the same time. I got it down to less than a second but is is still playing a bit ahead.

I did not find the answer in the manual.
