i got a message about droning earth vol1 1st "chamber of dis" track having a sample from another band, ok i removed it and reuploaded it, thats all i can do. im sure people use lot of samples these days and even music television is full of same tracks with different singers. also im bit tired of listening ambient/drone tunes that sound like hundreds of others, so to droning earth compilations i only pick tracks that i think sound different and original and if i hear lot of sampling i ignore them, its even hard to tell these days if someone uses samples or not, ive done many kind of music during years and used samples too and virtual instruments mixed with guitar sounds and im personally tired of that and try to do my tracks with real instruments nowadays. also if you hear familiar samples on these compilations go blame artists themselves because its impossible for me to know all the samples in the world, i dont even know and dont want to know about mainstream music or what bands are popular these days. try to do something original and not just imitate others, and do your sounds yourself, its not so hard to pick up guitar or other instrument and make some noise, if i can play guitar anyone else can, and it doenst matter if youre good or not, just bow to none.
ps. i add that imitating to some point is alright but if youre doing exactly what someone else has already done then its bullshit.
