RE: dissing sample CDs and sampled breaks
Since you asked why people dis them, I'll tell you what
I've heard.
People dis sample CDs because the majority of people
who use them don't write tracks, they arrange the parts
of someone else's track. Sure arrangement has merit,
but not the same as writing from scratch.
Some people call it the 'dj mentality'.
If you like it, keep doing it. Keep in mind though,
alot of record labels won't even look at you if your
album is based entirely on the latest 'Jungle Mega Hits
9' or whatever.
Also keep in mind that there are 1000 other people out
there writing tracks with the same peices.
Personally, I'd rather write the music that other
people sample - because people sample music they wish
they had written.
