My God, is this thread still going??
I think that I should get some sort of "long thread starting" award or something.

Damn you herodotus! It was buried and gone! Was it really necessary to resurrect a thread from 2005? Why?!herodotus wrote:Ah, how naive I was.herodotus wrote:My God, is this thread still going??

There are 3 kinds of people:
Those who can do maths and those who can't.

There is the theory of the moebius. A twist in the fabric of space where time becomes a loop, from which there is no escape. When we reach that point, whatever happened will happen again.The Chase wrote:it looks like this effortless joke has been made.

Well, it mostly boils down to 'try explaining any form of snobbery or social exclusion?' These kinds of class struggles are based less on the matter at hand and more on the social benefits of snobbery. Hard to keep an equal down. Much easier when you have some form of social mechanism that states you're higher up.
I think those who suggest loop users aren't as good as the from-scratchers do so because to accept otherwise threatens the validity/importance of their skills they've invested so much weight in. "Well if that's all it takes, anyone could make music! What I do takes so much more effort and of course is better." Yeah, sure, whatever.
Too many folk are caught up in identifying what's quality, but it's never for the better of the art. It's more a way of self-aggrandizement, dirty place to be if you ask me. There was a thread here a while back where a debate broke out over whether DJs could be considered musicians. In my eyes, you take someone like a DJ Shadow, that's as much a musician as Steve Vai. But the "Exclusive club" crowd would have none of it.
Music is at the people, not of, remember?
loop on!

I use drum loops sometimes to spice up my main drums. I like even more to slice em for more control. Sometimes I program all the drums, sometimes I use a mix of programmed drums and a loop or two. Snobbery over drum loops is pretty silly.
