Re: mp3 sampling
nope. Not unless you tell people you did it. I sample drums from other tracks every now and then.bitz wrote:are their any problems when i sample a kick from a beatpotrt track which can apppear later? (Maybe at mastering)

although i agree that mp3's suffer greatly from low fidelity, I do think it's beneficial not only too novice producers, but also helps beatport artists make money.
not to say you're a novice producer bitz, but pro's would be more apt to make their own.
just promise to never sample more than a single drum hit, or maybe a stab, but only if you change it with fx)

you could always buy some sample cd's dedicated to drum sounds... it'll save you the hassle of sampling and all its pitfalls
Think he's on about quality as opposed to ethics.

Yeah ethics are another thing altogether. I have sampled other tracks drums before but only if I think I could manipulate it in an interesting way.
Say I really like the sound of a rimshot layered on a kick in a song. I may sample that kick and filter out everything but the rim and stack it on one of my kick drums. Or if there is a sound Ill hear and think man I bet that would sound good with a certain effect on it.
It's a personal decision but I wouldn't use someone elses kick drum as your own since many artists in this genre take pride in their kicks.
