But what most folks here are doing is not really sampling. They are using entire arrangements already made for any generic recording, and are forced to make their song fit it.

Many commercial samples would not be available for purchase, and get old fast. Once a sample becomes a hit, maybe a few times, they will be gone and something new will be needed.

Like I said, there is nothing wrong with biab, it's probably the best there is for all purposes when convenience and affordability are concerned,

I just dont feel right making people think their biab work is top shelf, it doesnt help them.

If the goal is to just be able to play your demo for friends and people on this site, there is no problems. it surely beats an out of tune acoustic guitar played with traffic noise and the tv on in the background!






Once again, I just have to ask:

What is the source of your encyclopedic knowledge of the “Demo” (and the difference between an amateur and a professionally done one)? Have you ever pitched a demo? If so, to whom? Ever recorded in a commercial studio? Played live in a band situation? Anything? I can't find any samples of your demos, here or anywhere else (while I do see quite a few comments from you about other people's songs).

And before you make the accusation: I am not being 'confrontational' or 'defensive'. It's just been my experience that people who are serious musicians can usually back it up.
