slice to midi is very much like using recycle. you set slice points along the audio clip and the slice to midi option creates a midi clip with a midi note mapped to each slice point. If you play the default midi clip that was made, the audio file will sound exactly the same as before (as it plays all of the midi notes sequentially). But now you can completely manipulate the audio sound by working with the midi file - ie, mute sounds in the audio clip, rearrange the audio slices etc.
