I agree with Chris to a certain extent - I think I might have come into the arguement a bit late, but if I can get the gist of it from the couple of e-mails below I personally don't see any difference in someone sampling a Spanish guitar or sampling a Rhodes...How many tunes have Rhodes in them? Loads...But does that make the tunes unoriginal or creatively lacking just because they didn't do it first? I don't think it does...In my eyes it's all about how and what you do with samples once they are in your track...
As for trends as someone mentioned, if you try and follow those in your music then I think you've got the wrong idea - you should write music you feel and if you're writing tunes to fit a 'trend' then thats just wrong IMO...So what if a trend has been and gone by the time a tune gets released - if it's good it's good...

This is made further laughable by the fact that by the time alot of these dudes get pressed, the trend will be long gone. Its only natural that the "big" producers set styles and trends, but the fact that kids who never in a million years would have thought to sample a guitar yet alone a spanish one, are now scrambling to download Tito Puente records of Kaza is a testament to sheepthink. --- Drum&Bass Arena Producers Discussion List http://www.breakbeat.co.uk You are currently subscribed to dnb-prod as: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
