+1, although I'm not really a purist about it, especially for live percussion.Raddler wrote:For me one shots are justified. Full loops i won't touch no matter how good they are. If I was forced to use pre made loops to make music, i'd quit all together!! There's just no satisfaction in using other peoples creations. I generally just hold onto the one shots and scrap the loops. If the loop has a really cool sound in it i'll sample that one sound, that's it. There's this one producer that I had so much admiration for, but I recently found out that lots of his percussion loops were pre made. The latter quickly killed the admiration!!
I tend to program stuff myself cos it's fun, but if someone wants to loop a 2-bar recording of a guy playing bongos rather than select and program individual hits that's fine by me. (Except that bongo house makes me want to hurt people and if you make bongo house I will hunt you down and smash up your computer.)
