it makes me laugh when people go on about the quality of samples etc, i've recorded bare samples off youtube and nobody has ever commented on the quality of them. most samples are layered with all kinds of other shit so quality is certainly not a problem tbh
I'm with you on this one, I do the same with my tracks.. It's like DJ Hazard. For his Machete Bass EP he got all the samples for Machete, Killers, and Cowards off of youtube.
