How do you guys feel about leaving a sample untouched?

Ohh yeah, to get back on topic, I went back and forth with this for a while, but then it finally hit me that I wasnt that famous. I make beats that I like and that I think others will like, but I dont have to deal with sample clearances which means I can chop loops if I want because... who cares. Now with that said, I started chopping more loops (never more than 4 bars, personal preference). I think that sometimes looping can be dope although I do find it hard to create variety with them. I started taking the loop and looping it and then chopping parts out of it or from somewhere else and then using them together. I think that sometimes people get so caught up in having to chop and chopping too small. That makes for those duh-duh-duh beats which sound chopped for the sake of chopping. Anyway, do what you feel and if you ever doubt looping, four letters, RJD2.

Ohh, then there is nothing that you have that my FL Studio doesnt have. I guess I will have to experiment more with my effects and get more creative.

Exactly man. I'm still in my production infancy so I'm experimenting with each new track. I know though that nothing works with every sample everytime.
