Another way to start having fun with some audio madness is to slice it into a Drum Rack using the Slice to New MIDI Track command:
When you're using this command to slice up a drum loop, you can often use Transient as your slicing mode (see below), but with longer samples this will usually generate too many slices:
Switching from Transient to Bar is often an easy way to fix this - as long as your sample isn't longer than 128 bars. If it is, you have a few options:
Set a loop. Slice to New MIDI Track slices the audio beginning with the Start marker, and ending with the right edge of the loop brace.
Set the end marker. With Loop turned off, only the audio between the Start and End markers will be sliced.
Make your clip appear to be fewer bars by hitting the :2 switch
This last one might seem a little confusing, but think about it. If you have 150 bars of material at 180BPM, it could also be seen as 75 bars at 90BPM. Hitting :2 will change how Live looks at the audio in exactly this way.
