 From where?

One idea might be to use one of Lives audio channels to fetch the  
audio input from the audio interface. Track output routed to the  
Master Track output. Then you use a Return Track Send knob of this  
Audio Track to send signal to a Return Track. Then put the  
SooperLooper (or whatever looping plug-in you got there) on a second  
Audio Track where you fetch the input from the Return Track mentioned  
above. Be sure not to let through an dry signal in the looper.

Think about Ableton Live as a mixer console plus patch bay. Almost  
any routing is possible. This example is just one way to achieve what  
you are looking for.

Oh... I just noticed your title line. Use  a couple of Live's Audio  
Tracks to fetch the multiple looper outputs. If you want to treat  
them all with exclusive, post loop, effect plug-ins that is.  
Personally I'd rather process pre loop and not split up the signal  
over too many pipes. My reason for this is to keep the option of  
reacting instantly when improvising music and keep the CPU load low.  
I regard this issue the major "two sides of the looping coin"; remix  
style looping and musician style looping. Every looper has to set his  
rig up to match his own approach because when cool things happen it's  
starting in the imagination, not in the technology.
