the lm-7 uses samples... so you're SAMPLING. *shock* it's just that you're using individual samples instead of breaks, but it's the same thing. sampling has its purposes and uses. while using 32 bars of the amen untouched is pretty gay, taking a break off an old funk record, making it morbidly obese and then slicing and dicing it makes you a badass. sampling a melody's kinda weak, but if you take one note and then make your own melody from it, there you go. instead of spending hours trying to make a softsynth sound like guitar (cause it never will), record a real guitar playing your melody, or use samples (it won't sound as good, but you try to do the best you can with what you can get). and yeah, the lm-7's good, but i'm sure you'll have people who've done full tracks with just that and a sine wave, while others think it's ass... i personally use it as additional percussion (gotta love those clean bongos). lastly, i'm just gonna recommend that instead of writing to the list at (what seems like) the first sign of trouble, keep messing with it. you'll find it's much more rewarding to sweat your ass off and figure out something, rather than have someone just tell you how to do it. i mean, have someone show you the basics, but use your frontal lobes and work on the tough shit on your own so when you nail it, YOU nailed it, not your buddy that just told you how to do it. i'm not saying everyone should keep secrets or anything, cause i've learned a lot from other people, but i dunno... i'd be much happier making an ugly song by myself than making a good one by recipe. or maybe i'm just imagining things. joe --- Drum&Bass Arena Producers Discussion List http://www.breakbeat.co.uk You are currently subscribed to dnb-prod as: [email protected] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
