If the original was good on its own terms, you don't improve it by editing it. There's a bazillion 'disco edits' right now, and they bother me because they take something with its own internal pace and flow, and fit it to the procrustean bed of DJ expediency. And usually, to fit the ADD no-soul mixing style of DJs who can't tell fake funk from real.
The point being, it's great to sample but add something new, make it your own, be original with it. Just because Ableton Live makes it easy to chop tracks to pieces doesn't make it right. It's akin to bowdlerizing Shakespeare. On Tue, Apr 13, 2010 at 10:12 AM, David Powers <cybo...@gmail.com> wrote: > What difference does "being true to the original make?" >
