Axe-Master
yes, it's all possible. put the looper on a track that's being fed audio from the axe fx. put backing tracks into the layout as one shot clips. put the click into the layout as a i bar loop of cowbell (or whatever the drummer prefers)
it's all possible, but you have two obstacles to overcome....sync and control
you'll probably need a separate footswitch to use with the looper - the logidy umi3 is ideal for this
you'll also need to be able to trigger the backing tracks...perhaps the akai nanokontrol...?
to sync everything, work out the tempo of the backing track and force ableton to use that tempo when you trigger it. you do this by entering the bpm in the master area over on the right hand side and using the play button there to start. the looper will then sync to the master clock and the click clip will also run in sync
you put a each backing track into a separate scene with it's own click and it's own tempo.
you set the backing track to be a one shot with no warp, so it doesn't loop and always plays at the same tempo. when the track stops, you stop the transport from the nanokontrol, or whatever you're using and that will stop the click and the clock
it's pretty complicated. it took me a couple of weeks of testing different methods to find one that worked for me and a lot of research on the web. it's pretty difficult to explain it all here...
