This is how I work with Ableton. I put the whole sample into one clip, set a one bar loop and then move the loop around, change the start point of the loop until I find a part I like. Then duplicate the clip, same thing with the next clip until I've worked through the whole sample. You end up with little grooves that you wouldn't find with regular sample chopping.

Late to the party but this is EXACTLY what I needed to push me over the hump. Like someone else said this is great advice for us that like longer samples and are tired of chopping on the grid. Using the step seq method to mark where you want to place the sample is genius and thank you. This just made my workflow smoother. I’m able to find grooves that I wouldn’t have found otherwise.

I tend to do this technique in FL studio to. Just bang out some drum loop. Put those in the sequenser and then just drag the full sample into the sequenser, hover with the mouse over the waveform and just use the scroll-wheel to toggle back and forth to find a nice sample. Make a cut and then just proceed like that until I have the pieces I want.
