I don't use sample cds but sometimes I wonder if I'm missing out..

I'm a bit afrid to get burnt. I don't want to end up with a unuseable sample cd.
Thanks for the input

i also steal the feel of breakbeats and stuff on them as well.

I use vocal's from the voices of india disk too, and instruments (like 3rd world horns and sitars and what-not) that I can't hope to reproduce in the studio.
I'm really big on programming synths, though. I'd never go near a synth sample. There's no excuse!

Maybe I will try such a sample cd once.. maybe if I like the sounds I can get the synth another time

I personally feel like it's cheating (no matter how much how hacked up and ed with the samples are afterwards) and would never feel like I'd achieved something special and personal if I didn't do absolutely everything from scratch myself.
Each to their own, though, eh?

It's pretty hard to make something authentic disco sounding with va's and not using samples at all.

I ended up trying to make a funky break complete with vocals, bass and all that stuff. I then cut a loop out of it and dialled out some eq (But still leaving SOME artifacts to make it sound imperfect).
Cutting up the original beat and putting it back together in a different order made it sound 'stolen' and crunchy, but in fact it was all original. I got the sample monkey sound I was after, but managed to make it all from scratch.
This kind of thing is a lot of hard work, but then again, I am anal and completely insane about this kind of stuff.
