No shit bro...patches AND patterns. Who remembers creating "your own " sounds and patterns from an empty canvas? Or just a square bleep?

There are too many people to name who have done the whole preset thing. Example: Any cheesy FL breaks that were played out. I guess you might have to have owned some of the gear to recognize it, but it's abundant and extremely apparent. Just because you compress and fx a preset, it doesn't make it your own.I'm with you bro.

Give me a break. Unless the *sound* is the basis of the patch then there is no shame in using a pad, lead, bass to make *music*. Don't you play the piano Adam? That preset is soooo played out.

Naw, I totally agree. Get a synth and write YOUR OWN LINE, or use a line editor to mix it up. DO SOMETHING to make your own melody. What is the point in being a musician if you aren't actually writing your own music? Otherwise, you're nothing more than an ARRANGER. Straight up. If you're going to write music, start with a melody in your head and find a way to write it. You aren't a musician if you can't control your instruments.

I, myself, have put out a couple tracks where I took a sample line and found a way to "make it my own". Reason being, I didn't really know what I was doing yet. It was a learning process. I was far from having actual production skills. It was just the beginning.

To add, the tracks in reference were put out in 1998. Just to clarify. Everything I've done since then has been written OUTRIGHT.
