If you bring up the context menu on any of the clips while you have the (arrangement view) loop bar selected, you will be given the option to "Consolidate to New Scene". This will cut your track into a segment of 4 bars, with a start/stop marker over the selected range, but the loop bar within the clip won't be turned on.
The fastest way to do this with multiple tracks that are all lined up in arrangement mode the way you want them to play is to set the loop bar to the length you want - say 4 bars for this example, then slice the audio using cmd + E (Mac) or ctrl + E (PC). You might wanna get the session bpm close to the track bpm first tho (not sure about that I don't do much of this kind of stuff with Ableton).Īnyway, once you have warped tracks, you'd also need to slice them into sections of the appropriate length. In that case you probably just need to select all the clips, go to the clip detail view screen, and highlight the "warp" button and it should be pretty spot on. It looks like from your screenshots that you got those tracks from a remix pack? If so I would guess they may already be warped/lined up. Here's another really handy video I found recently about making clip packs (which sounds like what you're going to want to do if your goal is to convert songs from your laptop into DJ-able packs of loops, you just need to actually warp the audio first). You can do the warping in the session view, too. But if you want to use your tracks you will have to manually warp them before you slice them up. There some default loops you can find in the Ableton browser that will fit the bill if you just want to get a feel for that part of using Ableton. If you want to go straight to playing around with follow actions in scenes, then you just need to get chuck some warped loops into your session view.
There's several other videos on warping audio out there, different people have different approaches so watch some different tuts and play around with different approaches until you find what works for you. In general, you want to keep the auto warp feature off for long samples because otherwise Ableton will drop in a whole bunch of warp markers that you don't need. This video from Thavius Beck is a great place to start:
