No you don't.

Click on the sample so it brings up the markers. Drag the [1] to the first beat, stick 1.1 on the second to roughly match it up then jump to 2 and put it on the fifth beat. Go through the rest of the sample making sure it's all matched up locking a marker occasionly in case the sample starts to change speed at some point. One thats done take the play marker and move it onto the [1] marker.

Sample snorted.

In the years I've been using Ableton I've only used the "edit sample button" once, which was a few days ago when I wired up Ableton to Reason and was wanting to rip a bit of a loop before Recycling it into a Dr Rex loop for which you do need to have the loop properly trimmed or else Recycle complains really stupidly.
