Big Up to Shodan
:D big up yourself....
There's bassically two ways of chopping breaks, cutting the beat up into it's individual hits, ie. kicks, snares, hats, rides etc. or taking one bar of the break (properly looped) and cutting it into 8 equal parts and rearranging those parts. The "eigths" method doesn't always work so well as it relies on the drummer being pretty accurate with his timing. The real break heads would probably spit on the eigths method but it does work and is quick and easy. If you want to cut up 2 bars then you'd chop it into 16 equal pieces and so on and so forth...
Would soundforge do the same thing as recycle??
Yep, soundforge can do the same thing, have a look for the "Auto-region" tool and select "drum beats" from the pull-down list. You may have to go in manually and move the region markers slightly as sometimes soundforge is less than 100% accurate.
sorry for sounding like a complete amateur
never apologise for that, mate, we've all been there and in fact most of us are still there!! (me included ;) )
You'll have to excuse my amen rants but they bore me senseless....

The amen beat is a drum break from a record called Amen Brother by The Winstons (Metromedia, 1969). The break is normally "chopped up" into the individual "hits" (or sometimes into 8 equal pieces) using a tool such as Recycle (by Propellerheads, although there are various different tools that do the same job) and re-sequenced in your sequencer of choice, be it Fruity Loops, Reason, Cubase, whatever.
Check out www.spinwarp.com, www.dnbproduction.net or www.dogsonacid.com (the grid) for tons of info on this subject.
Also, do yourself a favour, don't get obsessed with the amen, its a great break but heavily over-used, if you're insistant upon using it, try and do something new and innovative with it...
