Looper Ableton and reverb

Hi I don't know where can I ask because it looks there is no way to ask questions anymore about Ableton.
I am new so any help very welcome. I am converting from MainStage and Logic so I must understand differences.

Very simple basic thing:

I want to send some of my virtual instruments to the built in Looper.
On return track A I have Large Hall
On return track B I have 4bar looper

So I have turned on on Piano Track Send A
And Then Send B

BUT THE PROBLEM: HOW TO SEND REVERB TO THE LOOPER AS WELL?

In MainStage I could insert one after another, and here how to do it?

Thank you

When I apply reverb to the instrument I want have looped I can here the reverb while I am playing, but when looper plays it back there is no reverb.

Right clicking on send dials on the return tracks, lets you enable them, and send them to themselves or other return tracks.

I don't use Looper, but it seems to me I don't see why you would either.
As far as I understand Looper is used for Live instruments that you loop into a DAW.
For Looping virtual instruments the normal clip writing and looping should work a lot better. And you can then just use the track sends.
Or am I missing something?

yes, you are missing something. It sounds very different (you can layer different tonalities) and provides different functions, EG fading.

as for the OP, yes, right click the send knob in the return channel and activate it.

I guess I should check out Looper some day then :-)
