After it's tempo mapped, you can do anything to the sample, or parts of the sample in the main arrangement view and it'll stay in tempo with the rest of your project. Any other audio sample is treated the same way. It's very straight forward once you've learned it.
Ableton is great for automatically mapping out fixed-time 4/4 music (and then manipulating it), but pretty inaccurate with anything that varies tempo ie not recorded to a click, or has changing time signatures.

This thread is really directed at that scenario, eg a rock song that pushes /pulls a bit, or a captured live jam that you want to have a click play to in perfect time.

Since you own Live, your best bet would be imo to Rewire or Rearoute Live to Reaper, that way you get the best of both worlds and everything is synced. Do your mapping in Live, and the rendering/editing/mixing in Reaper.

Also, there isn't a video tutorials about this on the net, all the tutorials I've found have been about advanced things like setting up hardware this and that. No tutorials for the normal people that just want to learn how to make some music using the software.

You get tutorials up the wazoo with Ableton.
This is true, they have great videos available from within the daw itself...obviously they put some of the extra cash they regularly charge into that! Reaper has quite a few videos now, you have to look a lot harder for them though...nothing in that kinda direction you're after yet.

There's a few people using Reaper for electronic music, it has pretty much the best time-stretching algorithms (elastique2)...why not post a thread on the general discussion page to get them to chime in how they do it?
