Yeah, that's sort of my point too. If you're already sitting in front of a computer and using these tools, what's stopping you from spending a little more time and making it that much more "yours?" I mean, people are really impressed when a DJ, such as Qbert or Kid Koala, can take records and spin/cut them live on turntables and make new tracks out of them. Mostly because it's a lot of skill involved and it's all live. Vs. in the studio where you're sitting there and can make everything just right. If you can make it just right, why not skip the whole "mixing two people's songs together" and go right to "chopping up their stuff to make some original-type music, a la amon tobin" ? derek At 04:28 PM 7/28/2003 -0700, dj m wrote:
