It all comes down to what you want to get out of your experience. I mean you could load 'garage band' and start slapping in loops and make a track that sounds like your a pro (kind of).. But where is the satisfaction in that... Personally I have tons of samples that I never touch because I get all enjoyment out of tweaking on knobs and trying to create something new. I feel like I'm cheating myself out of the experience if I take a loop and drop it in raw. If I ever use samples I have to cut and twist it enough that I feel like my creativity has taped it at least once.[/code]
