Ableton Forum

Hi all,
I have the following questions:

A) Is there a Looper plug-in that allows me to extract all overdubs as separate tracks after I'm done overdubbing? This is for Audio looping.

or B) (this would be my workaround)
Is there a Delay plug-in with a midi-assignable Tap Tempo function? Or has anyone here ever built this for themselves?

Basically, I'd like to play Ableton like a classical loop pedal (hands-free), but also have single tracks after jamming, so I can further develop the ideas. I play experimental/ambient music, so I wouldn't want to set the tempo before starting.

I'm an Ableton beginner, working with Ableton 12.1.1. Suite. I know the Ableton Looper, but it doesn't allow me to extract overdubs separately without dragging/dropping in between each loop. This workflow would really kill my jam, literally speaking.

Can you help me with A or B, or do you have another idea how to do this?

Many thanks. <3

A. I don´t know of any plugin, that can do this, only hardware loopers. But you could use several synchronized Ableton Loopers, each in his own channel. One Looper for each layer. Then you rec arm the channel of the Looper, you want to play into. Alternatively you could use an Audio Effect Rack in an extra input channel and select the different Looper channel inputs with the chain selector.

A: in L12 maxforlive can now extract Looper's buffer, i.e just like when using Looper's "Drag me" button with the mouse.
I don't know if anyone has already made and released a M4L device that does this. Search on maxforlive.com?

Didn’t know that… looks very interesting!
