(idm) samplers are evil, aren't they?

Hey, this would be great because it would provide further support for the ongoing argument that SAMPLERS ARE EVIL and that the world would be a better place without them.

After all, we all know that HOW a piece of music is made is more important than the actual sound of the music itself.

For example, before even listening to a piece of music, it is best to verify that:

- no samplers were used, or were even present in the room during recording

- no DSP plug-ins were employed, since it is "too easy" to make cool-sounding effects with them 

In fact, any device that makes it easier (god forbid) for Joe RaveKid to make cool tracks on his own (without racks of equipment and years of practice tweaking oscillators and filters) should be banned.
