Loop CD's ? Anyone use them in your arsenal?

I use to be soooooooo antiloop CD's... Treat beats like a organic recipe from scratch... nothing premade.


I have slightly changed my tone... granted I still would never use the synth, bass loops b/c I like to create my own melodies (which is bread and butter of the track)

some of the Drums I came across are phat, and Its a quick way to just get the beat up and running, and free computer processing.

granted I still like to midi slice them a bit, maybe just just bits and parts. All im saying its a good tool to have.



thoughts?

There's a difference if your using them creatively.

I have grabbed some cool bass lines, chopped them in the sampler, added effects. and you would have never know anything.

The reality is the average person who listen's to music has no clue how you make the music, nor do they really give a shit - long as it sounds good.

I brought up this topic here I saw a thread with a fierce of debate of enthusiast that see using "ANYTHING" programmed his a deadly sin. Personally I think they're working at a disadvantage not utilizing all the tools available. They might as well go back to reel to reel saying protools is cheating also haha
