It does everything creatively correct...

Some dudes say it dont matter...but anyone who used FL or Reason or Live to make a beat will know better.

there is a distinction.

This week imma be at my boy's trying out his cubase/battery combo..and ill post up some before (FL) and after (cubase) beats...

And the Sampler (lust) really just boils down to me being bored with dragging loops around in a very militant way. Like there's no feeling when i sample via FL now..i can predict and automatically set up chops and sequences without feeling the music out... ANd maybe a small sampler will open my imagniation up a lil bit to get me over this hump.

It's funny, i spent the past 2 years getting my compostion game up because people said i sampled too much. Now i can play way better, got a co producer who trained at piano...and everyone i meet is looking for sampled/underground beats...

plus im beyond competitive with this music stuff..i want to be able to create it all...And sometimes that's gonna take a few extra tools.
you may just be over software. happend to me 2 years ago. i still have reason and sonar but i dont use em like i used to. i dont know if the sp404 is right for u either. Ur goin from a luxuary car to an 84 taurus on that one. if u really want to go hardware and really want a sampler get something that will either run standalone or use it with ur software too.
