I've been watching some tutorials on youtube about how to sample in logic pro x but i noticed that it takes much more time than in ableton for example. In ableton, you take a loop, put it in sampler, choose what part of sample you want to use, and then play it with piano roll.
If you mean having a loop be automatically mapped to the keyboard... You use quicksampler. This is basically Logic's answer to Simpler's slice mode.
Destructive sampling happens in the sample editor. You access it by double clicking an audio file and clicking the "file" button in the editor window. It's not your friend if you don't know what you're doing!
That said you can totally apply non-destructive effects in Logic, you do this by using "
Selection Based Processing". (You wouldn't be able to undo the processing if it was destructive, which is how Logic was many years ago...)
That said it does commit your changes
'in place', and removes the original file from view... So if you want to keep a back up on hand you either tick the "create new take" box or duplicate the track and copy the audio file to the track you want to process. (Depends on which you prefer basically... I don't use takes very often so I tend to make a copy and mute the original). Here's a link about Selection Processing:
Logic Pro X’s Selection-Based Processing offers a whole new way of working with audio plug-ins that takes them beyond the domain of the mixer. Let’s explore how this approach can refine your mixing.

All you need to do to access Selection Based Processing is right click an audio region and it opens the selection processing channel strip. You have two sides, A & B. This basically lets you set up a few versions that you can preview. Once you find the effects chain you like you just click the
apply button. Make sure you tick the
Add Effect Tails box if you use reverb, delay etc. (Good idea to have this set anyway. Even stuff like EQ filters can ring, which means they might need a tiny bit of extra tail)...
