Hey guys,
I'm brand new to producing, so I'm looking forward to getting started. I'm definitely going to be doing some sample-based music, as I'm always keeping my ears open for songs that I think would sound cool to sample. I have a question regarding the audio file from which I get the sample. Now, I was assuming that I could just get the song from my iTunes and then chop it up in Maschine Studio's sampler, and work from there. I've been doing some readings and lots of people are dissing MP3's. Now I know that there are vinyl purists and all that, but putting that aside, am I okay sampling off MP3? Is there a better audio file form I should try to find the songs in? I would appreciate any input.
