Hey guys.
I would like to be able to chop my samples up, warp them, and then catalog them for later use.
What in your opinion is the best way to achieve this?
Thanks.

Chop them into clips then drag the clip into your library? And don't forget to crop your clip.

It'd be helpful to have just a few more details.
Are you planning to use these samples in instruments? (sampler/drumrack) Or in Arrangement/Session view?
Warping only applies to the Arrangement/Session views, unless you resave the clip after it has been warped.
If you want to save these samples for use in Session/Arrangement view, it would be as simple as lining them up along a channel in Session View, and then dragging that channel into your Library. (make sure that you have your volume/panning/any fx etc, set to how you want them defaulted to before you drag it in, as it will retain those values as well)
As for chopping the samples up, I don't have a lot of practice with that. My best results are when I place the clip onto Arrangement view, then use the cursor and a few keyboard shortcuts to divide the pieces. I'll usually have the clip warped so that the cursor falls onto the grid
Choosing colors and renaming the clips might help avoid getting you lost. Highlight the results, click-hold, hit Tab to switch to Session view, then drop those clips onto the session channel. Rename the Session channel the name of the track or something.
