Looping in Ableton’s Arrangement can be set up very quick. You just need to set the “Loop In and Out” brackets to the section in the Ableton Arrangement and activate the loop switch button. Alternatively you can select a section and press CMND+L or Control+L. This will turn a loop ON + OFF.

This Max for Live device lets you set up multiple loop regions in Ableton Live’s Arrangement quick and easy. You just need to add MIDI clips for each area which you want to be set to loop automatically.
