death to our friends
I've recently found myself using the arpeggiator in Logic to fuel ideas for songs, and sometimes create synth leads for songs as well, and a friend of mine who also dabbles in music production asked me if I felt like I was cheating? I guess I was a bit taken aback as I don't understand how using something within the program to manipulate synths and come up with cool sounds is cheating. I then googled this and found that a lot of people feel the same way as my friend. I guess it's kind of irritating because no one should be told that they're cheating if they're creating something that in the end sounds good. I've never used a loop but I know a lot of people who joke about how loops are just what people with no real producing talent/creativity use. I can see where they're coming from, but ultimately, if the end result is catchy and sounds intriguing, I don't see the real crime here. What do you guys think?
