I don't know Smitty, that's a fine line. IMHO, I guess it's how you use "sounds" and it's not really important how you got the sound. By this I don't mean ripping it off CDs and records. I mean totally 100% original from a sine tone or something. You could have a sine tone run it through filters, fx etc. Sample that processed tone into a sampler and tweak further. It's endless. So I guess I agree with you on your last paragraph.
