Recording rs7000 into ableton

[Ned]

Can anybody tell me if I can record parts from the rs7000 into ableton on the fly just like you would record a midi track inside ableton. when I try to do it the timing always sounds off. I know its the latency but I thought that ableton was meant to sort this problem out. When I play the recording back with original audio its always sounds like it is drifting like as the rs and ableton are losing sync.

I have tried everything and starting to think it is a bug between ableton and rs or can anybody else do what I am trying to do with similar hardware? my sound card is rme.

can other similar hardware do what I am trying to do ok(record loops on the fly like you would with midi tracks inside ableton)? or is there problems doing that?.
