tutorial video sending wrong message

I don't agree with encouragement to steal and use other peoples drum patterns etc in a tutorial. I agree with encouraging people to be original. They can do whatever they want but don't teach them bad habits lol

i think you'll find the word is sampling not stealing

simple way to look at it:

1. lift a loop and use it as it originally was = GAY
2. lift a loop, chop it up, rearrange it, make it sound like nothing you've heard before = COOLNESS.

Yeah but what one person would class as 1, someone else could class as 2. Even Vanilla Ice argued that adding one note to the bassline of Under Pressure made it something original.

Also, drum&bass and its predecessors may have been based on sampling other music, but techno wasn't. That's just a myth perpetuated by people who like to steal loops from other people's music :p.

well adding 1 note to a bassline is completly differant to chopping an audio file into slices, sticking them in a sampler and using the single slices as drum hits.

and to be honest about it ive lifted loops myself in the past. especially when i was starting and wasnt to confident about my own stuff. but like i said its not what you do its the way that you do it.

well techno has been so bastardised thru the years that it doesnt really make a differance anymore.

look, this topic has been done to death here and no-one will ever agree so just do what you do and if people like it then great.
