Virtual Thought

It’s kind of a slow day today. The most interesting thing that’s been happening recently is the arrival of my Power Mac. Sweetness!

I’ve been investigating different music programs, as well: Logic, Live, Pro Tools... They all have their pluses and minuses that I might get into later…

I’ve been looking at samples too… Dear God, the samples. There are so many sample websites out there that it’s almost ridiculous… so ridiciulous that I can’t believe some of them put up the ever-square “boomshhboomshh” House drum loops… c’mon! Who needs to download that? I can make that… I’m looking for drum loops to beef up my tracks… Loops I can offset and rip and paste and remix… I’ll accent them later with a drum machine. “Boomshhboomshh” I can already make with a drum machine. Please!

Fellers is fantastic… basically seems to be a Craig’s list for music… lots of the pages I thought would be interesting are blank, but the ones that aren’t have neat neat stuff on them. Have you seen Acappellas4u? What about Pellamania? Can you guess what my next project is?

Yeah, and speaking of. Check out Julien’s originals sample page where he reveals where popular songs sampled their riffs from. Man! I was once told that our generation doesn’t care about music as much as previous generations and, y’know what, that person was right! I had absolutely no idea that some of those songs I loved were taken nearly whole cloth! Basement Jaxx! How could you!!

Except for Fatboy Slim. I knew that guy was a rampant thief. ( = But that’s cool.
