Thanks so much RP and Richard, I'm trying to do the process quickly, but not necessarily on the fly. I don't think I'll need to do it live, but I do need to do it fast, as inspiration to me comes fast and fades fast if I don't grab hold of the sounds in my mind. It sounds like using an external editor is what I should do. Cost isn't a large issue for me, but speed and usability are, so any recommendations? I will definitely try out Loop Editor as well as Amadeus. I'm also going to take a look a recycle, even though it hasn't been updated in quite a while, because I am a big fan of propellerheads stuff. Update: (not that I sent this before anyways) I just tried out amadeus and it's fantastic. I chopped up the audio clip, saved it all to a folder, and loaded it into ableton darn fast. I just may have to buy this. The one thing that I wish it could do, however, is analyze a sample or part of a sample in the way that recycle can (by looking at the waveforms and setting markers at the beginning/end of each span of time that seems like a discrete sound). I'd be very thankful to hear of another program that could do that. Thanks again for the Amadeus recommendation. As you put it, Amadeus really is a comfortable program, and I was able to use it without referencing help files both easily and quickly.
