As usual, I write this stuff as a record for myself because I forget how I make things...and also...I really like to learn from others how they make music, so this is my way of giving back, if anyone may be the slightest bit interested.

I like the idea of using 'samples' in production of music because it can really orchestrate the tune and fill it out and make it stronger.
The problem with using other people's samples (ie lifted from vinyl records) is that it is a legal minefield.
