Ableton Forum

In all of the videos I have seen, people have it so that whatever they play loops over and over, and they add on to it. how do I do this? How do I end the loop once I am done?

I use mpk mini and newest ableton.

How bout you start by doing the tutorials and reading the manual...

ba hum bug.

Are you talking about MIDI or Audio clips?

For MIDI, you can play a clip, hit play again and it will loop. Then if the overdub button is turned on, you can add notes.

For Audio, you can play a clip, then hit it again to loop it. After that, you cannot add more audio to it, but you can open a second Audio Channel, and record a new loop.

As an additional option for audio, you can either use Looper which allows you to overdub (it is very friendly), or you can use a Return channel with a long delay feeding back into itself(this is probably your least likely option as, you would not be able to save your results, it would just be looping in the buffer.)
