is it really the golden rule to have to mash and filter sounds
beyond recognition ? the compilation CDs i bought last week are like a
homage to the Roland JV1080 pre-sets. Now thats lazy !!!! yet these guys are
signed and released by Beechwood music .
Here he goes
again, drawing attention to himself by capitilizing the subject line. I
need therapy. Its just that this point needs to be made to the
newbies who always want simple, easy answers to things:
THE GOLDEN
RULE IS TO PUT WORK INTO YOUR TRACK.
You can certainly make a good
track with a sample ripped straight off a sample CD, but if the sample is
recognizable (which it WILL be if taken off a DRUM N BASS SAMPLE CD), then the
label head (and us) will expect that you pick up the slack elsewhere.
Since we are ALL EXPECTED TO PAY OUR DUES, We/They will ask "where did
the work go into this thing"? (some of you might recognize that one
<strokes hand through hair>). Now big-name producers, they have
PAID their dues, which is why they have permission to make simple dancefloor
rollers. Some of you seem to think thats not fair, but quite the
contrary- its nothing BUT fair. Mind you, 90% of those filler tracks
SUCK, but thats another story...
So if you think your a good enough
producer to rip a break straight off the Reinforced CD and turn it into some
hot shit, then by all means go ahead. I can assure you anyone who hears the
break come in in the first 16 bars will have a smirk on their face, at least
until you blow their minds in the 64th bar with the sickest, most intense drop
imaginable (oooh boy- it better be goooodd if you hand it to Reinforced
themselves!). Me, I'm not that good yet, so I'll be writing my own breaks and
sampling stuff that doesnt scream, "I Did Nothing But Sample This".....
