There are several ways to do this in Ableton. The main thing is just predefining your clip length and then hitting the clip record overdub button and once the clip loops you should be able to overdub whatever part you need indefinitely. You can also select any clip with a recording already on it in session and clicking the record overdub button will allow you to overdub extra parts on any midi clip.

There is also a way to do this in ArrangeView using the Arrange overdub loop record function.

Ableton also has a looper plugin (I think this only works with Audio though).
