Do you sample from CDs?

I was just wondering if other musicians here sample off of
Warp and other CDs. I've been sitting here doing new
percussion sets in SF for my Kurzweil and I scan my CDs for
anything interesting. IMHO it's ok if it's single sounds,
that are no longer near the original. I've got a couple of
kits already with filtered and distorted blips and hits from
my CD collection. Loops is a definite NO NO for me..besides,
loops are boring as hell to fit into a track.

Anyone else?

I get samples from old vinyl records, jazz, funk and such..
Nice drums to produce fungle!!! Also I record instruments in
studio at work.

I think it`s not right way to get samples from Warp CDs
cause they`re so recognizable!

Hassle? Man, have you ever used a sampler? I had this Casio
FZ-1 and sampling with that was a hassle. Now, all one has
to do is pop in a CD into the PC, extract the track in
soundforge and cut out the desired part. Mangle it and
save.

Hassle..Pfff! :)

i only use samples from horror movies and thats live i don't
record them for copywrite paranioa.
the only other times i use samples is of artists i'm
remixing.

Most of what I do is sample-based in some form. Drums from
people speaking, synths from guitar solos... it's a lot more
fun than just programming synths, I find.

i enjoy more making my own sounds. even if i do sample
something i process it beyond recognition.

i sampled off cd's for one track that was all samples.. but
the only techno i sampled was chemical brothers because i
needed a big and ridiculous break (something from the loops
of fury EP). everything else was from other, very diverse
genres. pretty fun track; finished it in under an hour.

I've sampled Metallica, Buddy Rich and Silencer. I think i
might do something with Lexaunculpt next.

I personaly keep an ear out for sample material constantly,
it's more like an obsession, if something grabs me then I
take it along with the insparation it gives me & go from
there, even if I take it out later. Obviously I mangle
sounds but can't help being totaly inspired by old jazz &
funk brakes, wierd sounds from old sci-fi movies
etc.......... I suppose all those years of listening to FSOL
have influenced me a great deal.

As for sounds that will be used for some kind of melody, I
always make my own.

I sample a lot from cd's, although not from electronica -
feels kind of incestuous.
