Sample Packs - Loopmasters and the like?

[Bassline Brine]

Thanks for all the solid replies so far guys.

I agree that there is a point where you need to "make them your own" really, but I think I'm going to invest into some, and go from there a bit. I've needed a kick in the pants about production, and if I can find a couple sounds I really like that inspires me to actually get a tune finished?

Well, that's more priceless than spending hours tweaking knobs on synths to make random noises I don't care for.

I think what it comes down to, and what people generally seem to be saying, is that it's not a bad idea for a foundation. But you don't want to craft the whole thing with them. And that, makes sense. If I'm interpreting this correctly.

As Don Was said on TV last Saturday. It is the uniqueness that will sell you. Use samples but make unique music.

PS: If nobody knows who Don Was is, please look him up on Internet, I think he knows what he talks about.

Where did I say you shouldn't sample..? LOL

Right here

If you aren't making your own sounds then your not a producer

You're making it sound like some is "less" of a producer if they use samples vs some one who doesn't, and that in and of itself is as ignorant as they come.

i dont think its okey to take a vengaence 8bar synthsample and use it as your main foundation.

Don't tell Steve Angello that!

zing!

Also, you know, most of the other guys "on top of the world"……doing that might be taking it a bit too far, but putting a synth stab into a sampler and playing your own melody…cutting up a drum loop…screwing with a bass line……………no problem.

Sampling is more in line with producing than hot cues and loops are at all a form of "live remixing".

I think it was the song Knas that came strictly from vengeance

Bingo! Just Google "Steve Angello Vengeance" and you should find a video or two off the bat

Very easy to fake, but still funny.

Your taking what im saying and warping it to your liking. All I said is that you should be making your own sounds. This guy was talking about sample packs. Not taking a sample and changing the hell out of it for your own production and making it your own LOL.

So many herps and derps in this thread.
