I consider my brother-in-law Harvey to be an audio professional, because although he doesn't work with music production, he's a specialist in vibration - its measurement, assessment, and control. Essentially he works with elements of frequency and amplitude, in industrial and scientific applications.
So we sat down one evening after supper to do some righteous beat-slicing. We restricted our sound-source to five samples/loops courtesy of Equinox Sound -

http://audacity.sourceforge.net/ - encoded to LAME VBR -
http://lame.sourceforge.net/Three minutes long, and suitable (we hope
) as a soundtrack for one of Harvey's video productions - here it is, attached. Download, and have a listen...
