Well, there is the whole idea that you should challenge yourself when
creating art.
And it's pretty easy to detect when someone is not challenging
themselves. We call it "wanking."
You can wank with any piece of equipment. But remixing or covering tunes
without the use of any sampling methods is a challenge which should
hopefully cause the folks involved to get creative in new and
interesting ways, regardless of my personal artistic fear of the damn things.
