Convert 192 bar stems in Arrangement View to 48 4-bar scenes in Session, not manually!

[bengo]

Sorry to ask a dim question, I've been a very deep DAW user but a decade ago. I have some stems I've made elsewhere, all perfect click track tempo (but not metronomic techno, things that Ableton will find hard to automatically manipulate). I want to get them into Ableton and manually split each stem up into Ableton clips, each x bars long. But I can't remember or work out how to do it quickly in bulk!

I was expecting to be able to:
1. Import the wav into Arrangement view.
2. Turn off Warp, move start marker to beginning of song, turn Warp back on again.
3. Use cmd-E or whatever to insert some splits in a single track.
4. Basically drag over to Session and they all appear magically as clips all works great.

But so... many... things aren't working out. I'm basically stuck doing each clip manually. Is there a better way I'm not seeing?

The lazy way would be to just move the start marker, and then hit play, and start hitting Record on some clips. But that's destructive to the audio (no?). Also it'll remove my option to move the start/end markers later on (especially important later on in the stems, if the tempo on the source files is out by a fraction).

This must be a really common user need and I'm clearly missing something obvious, can't see it in the manual, what am I doing wrong? Sorry to ask such a basic question!

Place the loop brace in arrangement. Right click on it and select “consolidate to a new scene” ?
Otherwise, splitting the clips with cmd+e and dropping them in session should work as well.
