Q: How about samples and sfx?
A: Yes, but please make sure you have the legal rights to use them."
---------------------
From what I understand from the Jam rules, pre-made loops (not made by oneself) are allowed as long as we have officially acquired the rights to use them. Thus, the use of professional loops is not prohibited, while preparing ones own loops in advance was. To avoid the confusing term of loops, I can also speak of professional "samples" (it's sold with this term). In France, the words "Loop" and "Sample" are quite the same meaning, specially for the bought ones in specialized e-stores.
But most of the music in the world is created with loops (a repeated accompaniment, a chord grid, drum kits, a counterpoint melody, ...). These loops are the result of a personal creation, and have all my musical support. I only really criticize the use of loops without souls, sold in aim to bluff (we were all bluffed by the result obtained, even me, whereas on closer inspection it is a pure horror), whose aesthetic is so studied that it makes you forget the total absence of music, art and creativity.
As for the explanation of my motivation, it concerns the work itself: the jam must continue normally and does not need this lighting. On the contrary, I will therefore be able to see if the result I obtained here is still better appreciated than the richer and more personal music we can hear in this Jam. And when the Jam is over, no one will read the description and the opinions on this participation in a Jam: only the main music page will be looked at ...
... Which gives me hope that what I have done here will be useful sooner or later. Especially for those who suffer from a less professional rendering when their ideas are real jewels. Art cannot decently be reduced to an aesthetic-commercial quality. Many scribbles on a piece of paper by real artists are more talented than a building-sized print from a photo montage for a commercial film release with huge fanfare.
