Echoloop does that.

As soon as you start finding Ableton a bit frustrating you might
want to look at Plogue Bidule.

Bidule is really a lot easier for routing audio, it's exactly
the same as plugging together hardware.
Plus it has completely flexible sync.
i.e. to the extent you could even run a number of loops at different tempi
    and sync fx to each.
Routing Midi is totally transparent, just like routing audio (which it 
certainly isn't in Ableton).


Luckily there's plenty of experience here in working around Ableton 
hassles, so hope
you can thrive with it.
