  Okay. I have some serious breakthroughs on Ableton in the last 24 hours. First of all, click and drag a stem into one of the clips in ableton. Once it has loaded double click on it, a menu should appear below. Then click the warp button then the loop button in the menu. Across the top of the wav file you should see a gray 'sample display' with time markers. If you zoom in (bottom of the view tab,) you will see the 'loop brace,' a little bracket with two gray arrows pointing inward. You should be able to expand and contract that to highlight the area you'd like to isolate. the other gray arrow simply tells ableton where to start playing from, the loop bracket is what will be used in recording. Now, if you hit record ableton will record whatever tweaks you might want to try on the looped section until you stop recording. Now you have a pretty cool clip going. From there, you can go to options 'edit midi map,' double click on your clip and strike a key on your midi controller. In the right corner of the clip it should show that it has assigned it to that key! I've been having way too much fun in this program now that the lightbulb has kinda gone off!!!

  @Rob - I tried your steps and was able to record but got stuck in the actual mapping process.
