hi guys,
i am back to making music again after a long pause.. Ofc with the latest fruityloops.. I just wondered if there is an alternative solution to the sample problem.. IS there any website where you can preview and download free samples.. like kicks hihats , the basic needs for a producer, i own dj tiesto i just need samples.. bb

Click "Explore Sounds" to see everything catergorized :P
I'm sure it's fun though!
Putting random samples after each other just doesn't constitute it. I _could_ maybe agree if he made the samples himself. But just putting random stuff in loops is just as much "making music" as heating a frozen-pizza in the microwave is cooking. Yeah, you get something eatable, but you can't say you made it yourself.
Don't listen to plekter cause that's just narrowminded, to each his own reality.

You can have a million samples but if you don't have feeling/soul then you won't get anywhere, you should know this if you consider yourself any kind musician or artist.
I also support the 'real' instruments more than the computerbased, but to say it's not music is hmm well gently said caved in a bit, no offense.
Though I used to say 'hardcore' (aka) BOOM BOOM with tons of bass repeatin a million times isn't music when I was somewhat younger, I find myself foolish for that now (still don't like it either way).
Thanks for comparing socks with food, I'm sure thats fun to do though.
But that doesn't make putting random samples after each other any more making music. As I said in the other post, frozen pizza is food but preparing a frozen pizza can't be called cooking.
As for the feeling/soul argument, I personally have a hard time seeing where to insert the "feeling" or "soul" into a computer program with chunks of samples looped around. At best you can define what type of sound landscape you want to paint, but you can't get any nuances to speak of, no dynamics, no under/overtone spectrum. The soul/feeling, the way I see it, is the artists approach to the song. How does the artist interpret this particular part? What does he emphasize?
All this being said, normally I wouldn't care to post but I had a shitty day and I have to rant a bit.
Oh and you can also play with the equilizers to find the sweet spots and ofc don't forget to cut the unneeded frequencies when you're mastering, will make it sound a lot clearer and better.
i would like to open more about you but i am afraid of tosspot so let the picture talk from itself. :)
