The solution is to set a different quantize value than "none" on the  
drop-down menu at the transport bar.

Please note that the general synchronization for live looping in  
Ableton Live has to be that the application defines the tempo, as  
sync master, and all loops has to be sync slaves. This implies that  
you have to start the sequencer and play in sync with its tempo when  
you record your loops, even the first loop. The quantize value  
defines when the recording will kick in and stop, after you have  
given these commands. With "quantize = none" all loops will have  
different lengths and they will drift apart. Sometimes you may like  
to crate one non-synced drifting and then you can set the quantize to  
"none" temporarily.
