i do and i don't mean to start a huge war, but the more i use it, doesn't it seem kinda "cheap" to anyone to use resampling as a melodic technique? for example, sampling a C3 off your virus, rather than having your virus (assuming you have one... *sigh* one day) play the b-line through midi... i mean, to me, resampling seems like a technique we would be getting away from as technology progresses and we have the ability to synthesize sounds. i'll hear a bassline, and obviously tell "aww, that was just resampled" by the way the little oscillations (in the wave itself, or the lfo on the filter/volume) vary, and actually end up getting off-beat. does anyone feel the same and try to avoid resampling as much as possible? pitch-shifting while retaining the original tempo's been pretty crappy for me (the hyperprism pitch shifter plugin's been the best, then there's other third-party plugins, cooleditpro's pitch-shifting is alright, and the pitch-shifting in soundforge is horrible). for breaks, i resample up to get it to the right tempo, then i'll try to remove the chipmunkness by pitch-shifting down, but i wouldn't wanna do that with synths. if people sample their synths and throw the wavs into their samplers for the filters, can't you just apply the filtering to the entire track later?
