Paul, thanks for sharing that clip! I don't have time to check it out now, but I will for sure later.
To throw my own contribution in the center, my friend Simon has made a few great videos about sample editing in Reaper; worth checking out-

This is probably the best one to start with:
(he's actually cutting the oboe samples from VSCO 2; for any of you who are working with the community edition- please blame Simon for everything with the oboe ;D)
I also know Elan Hickler has made a few videos, also of cutting in Reaper, if I remember correctly. I will have to look those up.
Great thread idea! I'll have to maybe do a short video myself on the subject.
P.S. Steven, this might be a far shot, but have you tried a lowpass filter? Sometimes that can correct changes in the waveform that are greater than the sample rate can allow. Other than that, you're welcome to send them my way and I can see if Audition can do anything. I've had some experience cutting out BIG dropout chunks (more or less "audio meatball surgery"- finding zero crossings and cutting out a bunch of material). If the instrument is cyclical/harmonic-based, you can remove the affected 'cycle' via zero crossings with little harm. Unfortunately, this only works with very minor/isolated corruptions.
