John Williams never played french horn...They don't really make it, they just produce it. And if some rely on those tools and others to do the job, then they're really just contractors more than musicians.
And we always know who they are. They're the ones arguing that their lack of ability to play should be the norm.
I can't stand sample loops. And if I hear one I like, I use it only to listen to and learn to play myself. And from that it takes on a life of it's own within me. The Bach Etudes are studies to learn and practice, and loops can be equal only to that from my experience.
We used to have a button in the corps circuit for anyone that understood this and remind those that didn't.
"Go home and practice."
And if your not getting better at your instrument and deeper in knowing, why even bother?
