I can't figure out what you are talking about.

What is the name/ manufacturer of the software you're trying to use?
You can also do loopy cuts and pastes in CW, Cubase, Cool Edit or Vegas Pro. But loop-based programs are supposed to be designed to make the process simpler.

Recyle is a Steinberg Product:

A snippet from there site:

-Make the tempo of any drum groove slave automatically to the tempo of the sequencer
-Layer grooves that were originally recorded in different tempi
-Quantize MIDI to audio, audio to MIDI and audio to audio
-Groove quantize loops as fast and simple as with any MIDI recording
-Send different sounds in the groove to different sampler outputs
Edit a drum groove as if it was programmed out of individual sounds
Remove and/or replace sounds without altering the feel
Transmit and receivce samples from most popular samplers
Save ReCycled loops as SoundFonts or Mixman files

Well okay then, Emeric.

Recycle is famous because it's about the best application on the market for splitting up beats. It breaks up a sample based on the highest energy transient points (e.g. drums and hi-hats).

Using it is a piece of piss. You get you loop of say 2 bars of old hip-hop break. Import it into Recycle, adjust the sensitivity meter to the point where it splits the break up into usful bits (individual drum hits or other usable parts). You can then save these parts as individual sample files (wavs etc) and output a MIDI file which correlates to the samples. When put back together in a sampler and sequencer you can press keys in sequence and the break will play back as recorded, but if you want to make a DnB track out of it you just play the notes until you hear something you like.

All the commands are obvious and covered in the manual and on-line help.
