I am truly in heaven, I really couldn't imagine a better system for chopping samples.
http://www.apple.com/logicstudio/logicpro/
With the introduction of "Flextime" Apple has developed what is probably the best Sample Chopping system I have ever used, I will never even open Recycle again.
Basically the workflow goes like this:
1. Open Logic
2. Drag in what you would like to sample, or find it right in Logic's Browser (it will convert it if necessary)
3. Find the section you want to sample, drum break, verse, whatever, and separate it out.
4. Select that region, choose FlexTime, and voila, Logic will go ahead and do a basic chop, Just like a MPC's autochop, all based on the transients.
5. The chop will probably (hopefully) not be exactly what you are looking for, so you just double click the Region to open the Sample Editor.
6. Within the sample editor, you can now easily adjust and preview all the chop points, just drag and drop them, double click to delete, and command click to add a new one. If you want to preview a chop, just double click it, and press the Space bar.
7. Go through your entire sample, adjusting in and out points of each chop
8. When you are done, just right click the region, and choose, Slice at Transient Markers, to separate each sound into a new region.
9. Select all of those regions and have Logic automatically make a Sampler Instrument out of them, it will create a new software instrument track, ready to use, and you can still easily make edits if you like.
10. Have fun. Save your new chops for a later date.
If you use software in any part of your music making workflow, I highly highly recommend picking up the new Logic Studio. Sure there are other options, but it is just sooo choice.
I think I will make a video showing this process, just chopping up a drum break or something.
