I think you may have misunderstood me. I wasnt on about your samples, i wouldnt say anything like that and its none of my business what people want to do.

I actually thought youd put something pornographic in the link as a 'joke'. I saw the pic of the moaning woman then the name spunkface and I thought something was suspicious so didnt click on the link. Clearly thats not the case.

are you serious? only a handfull?

i prefer music that uses samples to music that is 100% synth. you just have to look at my record collection.

naw that was a bit full on... i corrected myself a bit in a later post. sampling is a major foundation of electronic music. it's existed alongside synths since the beginning. it still has much to be explored.

i just don't like this spoonfed sampling thing so you don't have to learn for yourself.

It does helps creativity for newbies though. It helps them learn how to construct pieces of music. By having all the samples ready, they can focus on putting something together rather then just twiddling with synths endlessly for hours and not actually making music.

I quite like working with single hit samples and warping them so much with FX that they are no longer recognizable.

Twiddling synths endlessly for hours was the fun part! They're nor rocket science, synthesizers. I thought they were pretty magic when I was first starting to use them.

I used a Korg Electribe ER1 for drum loops. That wasn't hard to program. I also did a lot of sampling using a microphone.

I would love to have an empty head about producing all over again. So much room for fun!

a handfull yeah right lol

in the end it is the final product. How you get there shoudlnt matter within reason.

Yep. I use a mixture of samples and synths, and there is honestly no way you could tell what is a sample and what is not. You can get just as creative with sampling as you can do with synthesis.
