Need advice on sampling

[AaronShaver]

I have Live 8 Intro right now. I am going to buy the upgrade to full Live 8 regardless, but I am not sure if I should purchase Sampler or use a third party sampler and route that into Live. Are there any sampling apps out there that are as good or better? Basically I want something that will enable me to chop up, time stretch, and otherwise mash up field recordings with ease.

Thanks.

get it...no third party will let you integrate into live in the ways this native plug can

Thanks, and that makes sense.

I bought the Live 8 upgrade and Sampler yesterday. Man, it is powerful. I'm still reading the manual to wrap my head around all the features.

for me, daily use, is dropping a few samplers full of one-hits into a drum rack...no 3rd party can do that (afaik)...enjoy
