This has been covered on a few threads here, but I'll reiterate the basic feeling of producers here in regards to sample packs. I'm not referring to an 808/909 sample pack either. Everyone on earth that makes edm has samples of those machines. Everyone would love to have them, but their cost and availability make it difficult for many.Edward_Molton wrote:I don't know why people on this forum are so against sample packs.
Sample packs that have: Strings 1, Quite Pad 2, synth stab 3, etc., are what I'm talking about. Many people here, including myself, think that takes all the fun out of making a tune. Using sounds that other people made is going to make it tough for you, the producer, to stand out. There's already so many tracks that sound the same, why you want want to copy those with the "ultra minimal sample pack"?
If you use sample packs to make all your tunes, fine. I don't give a sh!t one way or another. My point is this: crafting your own sounds makes the process of making a track way more fun and most importantly more satisfying.
