[Fmpro] are loops ok to use?

I think the correct term for someone who's compositions are predominantly loops should be "Compositor" because that is exactly what they are doing, putting together a composite of sound patterns. However, the reality is that many, if not most composers are probably not capable of creating those fat crushed drum loop sounds on their own, nor of actually playing nor easily afford to hire someone who can play the ethnic hand percussion loops that are overused these days, so lets cut some slack on the unpitched and semi-pitched percussion loops, but if you use loops of discreet pitched sound patterns, especially orchestra, shame shame shame.
