- The assumption here is that the samples will be used as-is and with
- precious little manipulation, or other editing.
-
- I think the marketplace will decide if this kind of music will catch on
- or if originality will retain the (low) level of importance it currently
- has (BTW I favor the creation of new sampling laws to permit free use of
- small portions of copyrighted audio recordings in non-commercial works).
- I'm not too interested in the sampling CDs because I only like to sample
- voices and sound effects and the occasional stray note.
-
- If someone can put together interesting and creative music using only
- a couple sample CDs, then more power to him.
