How do you chop up your samples?

i find transferring back and forth to the computer to be more of a waste of time if it's just chopping and trimming samples. You can get pretty quick results for simple edits inside the mpc. Hardcore crazy edits is another story.

However if the tempo varies too much I'll cut it into beats, which I can do in protools very quickly. I love the fact that you can easily transfer files from your computer to the 1000 cause I can edit very quickly in protools. I think any kind of editing you do with the Q link faders and the Non-Jog wheel will be painfully inferior to the kind of editing you can do on a computer. Even if you get good at doing it on a 1000 it'll still take you too long.
