using someone else's samples is teh gay.

DeepSix · Dec 22, 2003

yeah, cause NOBODY else does that...

isoprax · Dec 22, 2003

like I said it's a list i just copied from another msg brd so if anyone wants the rest they are in the producer's thread of www.livesets.com

that list above was only about a third of what was there so go nuts.

DeepSix · Dec 22, 2003

No need to justify yourself to some elitist techno snob.

you still rock Trev, even if you sample everything from other people...

DeepSix · Dec 22, 2003

oh wait...

I just realized that *YOU'RE* the elitist techno snob.

I meant err.. elitist non-sampling snob.

worst logic ever.

DeepSix · Dec 23, 2003

Explain to me how it's the worst logic ever.

My logic is this:

You called someone's practice "teh ghey" because they use someone else's samples - or at least you, in your seemingly snobby remark, implied that is what they are going to do and that you thumb your nose at it.

I merely implied (sarcastically) that other people do it, probably people who you respect as producers. It's not "teh ghey". It's a common practice in production and looked at as the de facto norm infact - which is why there is a thriving sample CD business.

Here's the crux of my arguement.

If it were not for sampling, a great deal of the music you know and love would not/could not have been created.

Prove me wrong and then you can call my logic "the worst logic ever".

Or you can just realize that people create music in different ways and that sampling is not "teh ghey".

It's closed minded people who exude a 'holier than thou' attitude that are "teh ghey" - I'm assuming that's a negative thing, btw (sorry to all ghey people).

I'm not going to compliment someone's use of the amen break over and over again, but I'm also not going to slag them for using it, as long as the overall product is quality.

It's not the sound you use, it's how you use it.

DeepSix · Dec 23, 2003

can't edit, but I suppose I should qualify some of my statements before you go off on ripping apart my statement (made at 3:00 am on v. little sleep heh).

A lot of music obviously doesn't use samples and a lot of musicians do not use samples.

And maybe yours doesn't.

That doesn't mean that yours is any better or worse than anyone who does sample/use samples/use stock sounds/use presets/whatever you consider "teh ghey"

It's your opinion and you're allowed to have it.

If you're going to keep debasing certain music just because of how it was made or what was used to make it...you will miss the forest for the trees.

And that is your loss, not mine, so you're welcome to your narrow-minded elitist mindset.

Enjoy it.

I do not think SE is talking about french horn multisamples or drum kits, more like loops and stuff.

Sample-based composition CERTAINLY has more than one place in electronic music. On one extreme you have say, Amon Tobin: takes using samples to a new level, and makes it its own artform.. On the other extreme you find the reason the sample cd industry is booming. Because anyone can make dance music with loops, its fun and cool, but hardly an artform... more of a hobby.

In conclusion its really a personal decision. Are you happy with yourself using sounds other people made? Lots are. Less aren't. But always be thankful, you sample musicians, for those who are driven by total originality, or you wouldn't have any loops to load into your dr rex. Creating useful sounds from scratch is a VERY intensive and time consuming ( but certainly rewarding) process.

i have posted a total of 10 words in this thread(well, not now but previously). in those 10 words i have been typecast as an "elitest techno snob". i had no idea it was possible to label someone that quickly.

i generally don't have much of a problem with sampling if it is done tastefully and in moderation. part of the fun of creating electronic music lies in making "new" and interesting sounds. using other people's stock sounds just takes away from that. there's more satisfaction in creating tones from scratch than just ripping off what someone else already did.

i have more respect for producers who take the time to create their own samples(it not that hard really). i fear a future in music where everyone is just sampling each others work and nothing new is ever heard. maybe i'm paranoid, maybe i'm a snob, maybe i listen to techno, regardless i will continue making music using samples as little as possible.

regarding the logic comment. "everyone else is doing it" is NOT a valid argument. a lot of people used to own slaves, that does not make it right.(sorry, it was either slaves or nazi germany and i figured that too many people bring up germany in discussions such as this. i think it has something to do with shitting on people.)

On the next episode of "When Dorks go bad"... we will once again disseminate the pirated software issue. Are you really a producer if you use pirated software, or are you a pretend producer? You decide!

just to clarify I surrounded "dick" and "ass" with quotes similiar to these ones ("") signifying names not the actual body parts(within context).
