How many records do you go thru on the average before you get to a usable one? I download from P2P networks and I go thru on average probably 30 (pop, rock, soul, etc) tracks before i get to one that sounds usable. Is this the norm?

Every track in the world has at least one or two pearls, it is just that we are not always in the right place to recognize them! Sometimes it takes me a year or two before I can use a piece of vinyl. Othertimes, I hear something I want the first time I play a track....

This is the primary reason I am still drawn to sampling - there is nothing as uplifting as playing a record I had one written off and finding some beauty within it.

It depends some times I can listen to a bunch of LP's and find nothing sometimes I hear something and everything comes toghhter in minutes but I love the HUNT of going out spending hours looking for records then comiing home listening and listing until that right break or sound hit me its a rush.

I think I'm different, I don't look for samples, I listen to music of all genres 24/7 for inspiration. Sometimes I hear a N.E.R.D. or Linkin Park album and get inspired to do a rock/hip hop beat from scratch, sometimes I hear a krunk track and bust out the 808s, listen to ballads to get blueprints for RnB based tracks, in the midst of just listening, sometimes you run across that track that makes you say damn...that's a hot sample! IMO that's way better than looking, because when you're not looking, if you gotta sample it, it's usually a damn good sample.

Two things that annoy me are people who are positive out of ignorance, and people who are negative out of bitterness. People who are neither usually get along with me and agree with most of what I say. People who are one of the 2 think I'm the other.
