No Harm Done

My comment was not a cheap shot at you. I believe at the begining of my post I said "We are held back by our own limitations and patterns of thinking" That included myself. I didn't say where the limitations were because I don't know, but we all have them. The next sentences starts " Those of you" still not making it personal. Your name is at the top of the post because I was talking to you, not at or about you. It is generalized to cover other perspectives that I've come accross at illmusik. Basically I was trying to pass on some logic that I use for myself to keep me from having bias opinions not accurately supported due to my own limitations. I tried Reason, and I didn't like it, but you will never hear me say it sucks, or it can't do this or it can do that. If I did, that information would be misleading and the first persons who would notice it, would be the people doin tight stuff in reason, why, becasue they know better. I'm on the other end with FLstudio, I know it's not limited. So to avoid misleading someone who doesn't know anything about either, If I couldn't do something, then I would say I couldn't do it, not the program is limited because I couldn't do. In the forever ending debate about these softwares, you hear statements like that all the time, I was was addressing it in that manner. The same as with the sampling thing that the UNOWN is talking about.
UNOWN, being that you've only been here for about 2 months, its obvious you haven't seen the countless threads on this very same issues, not to mention my perspective on the few threads that I've participated in on this issue of sampling. So for the record, I have been a advocate for sampling in untraditional ways, cutting notes, and hits, and using them to compose original melodies. It's easy to jump in and think that way, but you have to follow the threads to get the complete perspective. Ask a question if you must, but don't assume. When I say sampling, or talk about someone who is sampling I'm thinking of a person that is taking 4 plus bars out of a song, then start talking about about I make beats, that's my flavor, I made this. I've come across alot of people that think that because they sampled 4 bars of someone elses composition and put a beat behind it, that it's theirs. I disagree with that. I also mention it because of all the posibilities that Flstudio has with making music that does not envolve using loops. It was also informative information to myself because I sample hits and notes from music. And to find out that not one tit was legal was a shock to me as well. As for records, I have 28 crates of them. In these threads it's been definded what a sample is, and how many ways people sample. My gripe is only with people who don't rely on any skill, and will steal bars from another song and call it their own. Oh, and the premade drum loop users too. I've heard some people say as long as it sounds tight it's alright. I've said this before, yes sound is sound, but music isn't always what seems to be, like judging a book by it's cover. Unfortunately the industry we are in is surface value, so you're gonna get alot of that anyway. My point for people who do sample like that is to not keep them set in their ways, and unleash their potentual for creating new music, because that's music to my ears and everyone elses. If there is still a misunderstanding, I can live wit that.
