Kodama: thanks for bumping.
To those who couldn't get it to work:
How far are you getting? Where's the process derailing?

ps - working on a way to get notes to work, but i think it's gonna require the use of a patching lang. like PD, MAX, Plogue, etc...
The fundamental problem is this:
Where MIDI clip recording is concerned, Ableton ignores MIDI notes coming from a device, if those MIDI notes are already assigned to clip triggers.
The workaround is this:
Create another MIDI loopback that only sends MIDI notes -- and that gets inputted both as a Track input and a Remote input. Since the "doubled" MIDI notes are in effect coming from a separate input device, Ableton's MIDI clip recording can "see" them, and thus record them.
The problem with the workaround is this:
When you press a MIDI key, Ableton sees two copies of it coming in. So, you get a "flam" effect, a double hit, when you press a key.
Possible workarounds:
1) Generate yet another MIDI loopback. Use it for track in only, and use loopback #2 for remote in only. (this gets slow and icky, though).
2) use a patching language to "mute" midi note thru for loopback #2 whenever record mode is turned off. (this would be inherently fauity -- engaging record via the computer keyboard or mouse would break it).

If there wasn't all these OS X goodies I would probably be using centrinos only
