How to CHOP up an audio recording?

Question

I have a soft synth going to a audio bus in logic and what I want to do is on one track
have a few varying sound effects that I created all on one track for me then to open, chop up, rename and then have 8+ samples for the work.
In other words, I record, play the desired FX, then pause, make changes on the device, continue recording then when finished, chop them up, get rid of silence, and maybe batch process so instead of 10 takes on one track with varying sounds, I end up with 10 samples (indiviual). FWIW, I still can't figure out how to really edit the one sample. Used to sound forge and nuendo, so beg your pardon.
Thanks

Sadly sample editing is not one of Logic's strong features. Have you tried the Apple Loops utility or Soundtrack Pro?
Another app I like for editing is the new Peak Express and it's only $40
The first thing to do is bounce the effected track, and then bring the bounced file back in to a new track.
Next step is chopping it up.
To make individual samples from a region use the "strip silence" function. This will create a bunch of separate regions. You could also create the separate regions manually with "split at playhead", "split by locators" or by using the scissors tool.
Once you have it all cut, select the regions and use the " convert to new audio files" command. This is found under the Audio tab, or by right clicking on them.
Your other question:
Check to see if the files are 32 bit? If so convert them to 24 bit.
