I really like using the well known breaks, with technology increasing as fast as it is the fun these days is to USE that technology to makre a common break sound better than it ever has. I love using the amen break but effecting it so much that it sounds like nothing else, great fun!
the reason I posted is to say that the tramen break was sampled from a trace track but was actualy crafted by Dom & Roland, although he appeared uncredited.
P.S. for the poster complaining about the 'ease of sampling' these days, I don't relly see your point. I do music for the fun of it, along with a shift of technology comes a shift of expectations from listeners. I could take a sample and timestretch it then loop it but my track would'nt be particularly satisfying to me, the real sense of achievement from making a track happens when youv'e put a lot of work into something and it comes out sounding good. Whether the work was done on slicing and splicing a single loop, or making a hundred variations with different effects on each, you still get the same satisfaction when listening back to it! I probably haven't explained myself that well, I could go on but I'll spare you...
