You're right Williams about not being limited, wasn't so well put by me in the first place. It's what I meant with creating and recreating stuff - being creative and going on from sampled snippets is of course possible and therefore no limitation to the creative mind. Yet while recreating or being creative with things that could be played in the real world is not so well possible to the point until somebody was able to sample it. I'm talkign about stuff guys like this one do here:
- you can't pull this off a sample library with the basic reocrdings of a windchime. You can't pull off other things for strings with the merely "basic" set of samples we have (yet I'm talking about multiple 100GB worth of samples here) - you can't be creative in that way, so therefore samples are a limitation in this direction.
And surely there are unthought things like doing a brass legato phrase with the wind transition samples for the in between notes. Or having a piano release sample triggered for a timpani note. Time to free your mind ;) These couldn't be performed in a live situation or recorded in one go and would be a rather unusual, unavantgarde way of making music.
