Another rule I follow in my sampling is: Never sample something fo the
same style as the piece you are aiming to produce. In other words, if you
are using a sample for a hip-hop track, do not sample another hip-hop
track. Sample some jazz, RnB, rock or your teapot's whistle, but not
hip-hop. If you are trying to produce drum'n'bass, do not sample another
drum'n'bass record, etc. You get the point.
