which every other wanna be producer gets and uses like mad.

Just b/c they're free doesn't mean they are quality. Of course... outside of individual drum hits... I'm not a fan of sampling.
So I'm wannabe now??!!

I know what you mean, I've heard tracks (on general release) and think: "Hey I've heard that loop before!" I do try and splice the loops up a bit if i can, so they aren't entirely the same...
And i've just started making drum loops out of individual hits, its awesome. Until i decide its too slow and want to speed it up!
