Hey Michael,
About 10 yrs back, I would never consider using loops and samples in finished production.
These days ? They're so damn spot on the money, and it's simply not worth the hassle and the time to mic up really simple stuff in a studio, where all you need is a guy strumming a guitar, or simple piano chords.
I think they are a fantastic tool in the toolbox, BUT should only be used as a production tool, and not a replacement for good writing and arrangement.
If you know the theory and structure of music, and know how a string section, or a brass section actually sounds, then for simplistic notation and arrangement, and knowing how to produce a tune, I see no bother. It makes your work quicker, with beautiful tonal results.
If however, you wish to put forward an orchestra, without any knowledge how to score a piece, the outcome is obvious.
Cheating ? Not really, just using the tools available.
cheers, niteshift
