That's not an attitude, that's me being old and cranky.

You could've just tried, and you'd have your question answered; every link on the first page of Google explains exactly what it is. Those texts you see there were actually typed by actual human beings. Do you never look anything up if you want to know stuff about something?

Forums are for the interesting questions that you can't answer with encyclopedias and dictionaries, like "how do i djp" or "How would I go about orchestrating this particular piece", because there's no straight and narrow answer to those. (the retort being: these are not your forums, and that's just like, your opinion, man).

It's not like OCR is going to run out of space or something, but you get way more interesting questions that way, and self-reliance and self-education are important - doubly so because so many people here have to wear several hats (engineer, musician, composer, artist, technician, etc.) at the same time.

Let's just drop the argument entirely as it has no value or purpose in this forum. I just prefer asking people when its convenient to. That's it. There doesn't need to be an argument about it.

I used to do this a LOT when I was into dub and slicing/cutting... in my tracker days.

It's really fun and useful. And I wouldn't just dig up records but like recordings of shows and stuff. Like in one song I had samples from the Flintstones 'chipmunked' and a reversed sound of some sort of cars going by on a race track. Have also used things like the sound of glass breaking or camera mechanisms operating for percussion.

Wish I still had all my stuff I used... that was loads of fun, years ago sadly.

You mean the generation that knows what records are, right?

(I did it for the lulz...I had no idea what "crate digging" meant either)

We stopped crate digging after we got shelves for all the records... next to the record player.

has anyone ever heard of The Dickies?

Can't say I have :/

I'm really starting to love Ableton's sampler the more and more I'm using it, and really I've gained a supreme respect for samplers in general, especially once you get it to loop in a really weird place and you get some crazy modulation on it, then sampling that sample. Good stuff.
