Can someone tell me what some of the equipment 9th wonder is using?

Is it frowned upon to use drums from a sample pack? I can understand using pre made drum loops from a pack isnā€™t very creative but what do people think about using one shots to make your own drum loops out of?

Everyone uses one shots, and everyone uses loops. Just to varying degrees. Maybe not from a commercial pack, but sampled instead. There are indeed people who make everything from scratch but I wouldnā€™t say it really matters or makes something better or worse. Itā€™s just how someone prefers to work.

You will get the occasional person who recognises the loop and will call you out, but I wouldnā€™t worry about it. Iā€™ve heard some of the best producers in electronic music use sounds from sources I also had, but what they did with it was still impressive.

Hi Harry
Yes itā€™s frowned upon by lots of people you find on forums. But who cares?, you should do whatever inspires you the mostā€¦ Even if you didnā€™t grow the tree, cut the wood, form it into a cylinder, put a synthetic animal skin on it, hit it with a stick, record it down a wire with electrical currents you discovered, into a sound recorder you invented yourselfā€¦
Even the music ā€œgurusā€ take a little help somewhere along the line. We are all on our own journey, donā€™t worry about what forum schwingers say you should do. Just do whatever inspires you the mostā€¦

Peace :innocent:

Personallyā€¦I use a lot of hip hop breaks/loops that are supposed to be 90-100bpm at 130ish and chop them to fit the bpm and vibe wanted, cherry pick the bits i like (nice snare, hh roll whatever). Doesnā€™t really matter depends how good (and often original) the final tune is. Sometimes just use one shots but can end up with the same vibe/patterns each time, good to keep a bit of production kinda random (chopping drum beats means you end up with randomised things that work).
