I personally think that "Sounds coming out of the sample library" isn't really going to help you with coming up with anything new.... This is what I love about using wierd synths such as the Nord Modular, Emu Audity and Morpheus, is you can make sounds that no-one has ever heard before... Yes, you can come up with mad stuff with samples, but I think severe sample mangling is neccesary, otherwise you're just going to end up sounding like the million and one other techno producers out there at the moment... As I've said a million times before though, it ain't what you've got, it's what you do with it that counts.. When I was doing A+R for Uglyfunk, I heard one track that we put on UFU 002 that was done in Acid and Blew away other stuff we had bben sent that was done on loads of hardware.... It's the talent that shines through at the end of the day....
