There are two ways to do this. Drag the loop and drop it on an audio clip and the usual way of routing it to an armed audio track and activate a slot for triggering recording. > This is where I am really, really disappointed.

Do you mean that it is bad that they did not implement a ful Undo History, as in Mobius, that would open up for a command to save old layers of a loop as separate files? > Right now I am using my Guitar Rig 3 Loop Machine, and once I get >something I dig, then I export it as separate wav files and bring those >into Live as separate clips and away I go.

If anyone knows >differently, please let me know! There is a slicing function now in v 8 that devices a loop into parts. Not sure it works directly on the looper audio, but definitely on a clip frozen from the looper content. If you by "parts" mean earlier layers of the loop, that is not possible because only the latest layer is kept aside in a buffer for the Undo function. It's right that Lived 8's Looper is not very complex, but for some users that's a good point. I think it's pretty close to the Loop Station pedal from Roland.
