Do you know how to do this? Also what would be the best software for live looping?

Be sure to look around on YouTube to see what people are accomplishing with Ableton Live for live looping.

Ableton has an actual looper plug-in it comes with that works just like a pedal, in addition to Session View, which is looping on steroids and one of the key features of it.

I'm just somebody who has used it a lot, not associated to Ableton in any way.

Another popular DAW for loop-based recording is FL Studio (a little less expensive than Ableton with lifetime free updates and plenty powerful). Also a longtime user of FL.

I'm just getting started exploring with exploring DAWs myself and haven't looked at live looping yet. You'd want some sort of MIDI controller for it, and I understand there's hardware for recording samples and MIDI if you don't want to use a DAW.
