predefined loops or writing your own music?

[The Overfiend]

i dont agree with people who completely use loops to produce there music, because thats bollox, its not producing ... its cheating.

i think its ok to to chop bits up and use the odd perc loop and add that to your own sounds. but to use ready made loops to make muisc is bollox.

precisely.
I think that unless you can program a loop from scratch you shouldnt be able to use a loop. F*ck that. I sat there and made my own patterns for 2 years before realizing people used loops and better samples and such. Every one should crawl before you walk man.
