Hey Beeswax! Its super hard to recommend something cuz it really depends what clicks with you -- there are sooo many rad options at this point...
Depending on what sorta source material you wanna work with i recommend checking out Koala Sampler. I think its on iOS, android and MacOS.... Its effectively a fully functional sampler/ sequencer akin to something like a SP404 hardware device!
It gets a ton of people into beatmaking and is loved even by seasoned vets for the amount of functionality and support the app gets by the dev(s).
You should be able to just load up / record samples into it, chop them into pieces, loop them and restructure them as needed. It will def have a bit of a learning curve but i dont think its bad, especially if you dedicate a couple hours to just sitting with it and maybe a youtube tutorial you can follow along with.
Check this for example:
And the good news is, if this workflow / style does NOT work for you, it rules out a bunch of other options so I and try to recommend something entirely different!
Cant wait to hear what you cook up! HMU if you have any questions, etc!
