I'm going to reiterate since I kind of spoke a lot on this earlier I want to
be sure to not be misunderstood. I think looping is another way of being
creative and any way that you can *create* an emotional instance it is a
testament to your creativity, so long as it resonates truth within yourself.
I stand firm however, that using some *pre-built* loops that come with a
software or a library is lame, lamer then lame, and it is the same as using
a ghost writer and claiming its yours, or lip syncing at the Grammy's:
unethical and not your creation, regardless of whether it is legal or not.

By all means though smoke a fatty and have fun playing them, even get ideas
on how to make something yourself from them. But I would have to hear
something pretty extraordinary, some avant-garde use of pre built loops to
accept it as ones art. 

However on that same thought if you enjoy using loops do so and be happy,
but call yourself something other then a composer. Its like calling a
redneck with an IQ of 85 that he's a free thinker and an intellectual
because he chose Schlitz instead of Pabst blue ribbon :P

I will shaddap now before you all start calling me Lynne, I cant except it!
