Its just that this point needs to be made >to the newbies who always want simple, easy answers to things: I cant work out if this comment is aimed at me or not . I mean I wrote the JV1080 comment, BUT ! its only the 3rd email i ever sent to this list, so where does the "here he goes again" etc fit in to things .I`m a newbie to the list and the genre, and I`m merely questioning topics on the list to gain a better understanding of what it takes to produce D&B . >THE GOLDEN RULE IS TO PUT WORK INTO YOUR TRACK. I dont believe that sampling a loop from some obscure record , putting it through a few filters and then triggering it at different pitches in time with a drum loop can be seen as drastically harder work than using sample CDs (not only D&B CDs mind you) Both of these ways of working could justify your phrase of "I did nothing but sample this". Now if you are one of the (what seems to be from the CDs Ive heard) few people that actually compose and perform elements of your songs, then thats different . Taking a loop from a sample CD or taking a loop from somebody eles track is paramount to same thing, but with a bit more fiddling . This isn`t composing as I see it , its assembling .But maybe thats what D&B is all about ? I dont know, as i said , this is a new world to me .
