Computer based recording and composing YES

Sampled sounds as opposed to miking real instruments : YES

Using a drum,percussion or single instrument loop : YES

Using multi-instrument loops of pre-recorded, artist-released music : NO

Using a collage of pre-recorded artist released samples : NO

It sounds like you and Tipsy have similar standards.

Tipsy does use computers,

They record real instruments

They use loops

They DO NOT use pre-recorded artist-released music other than their own

They DO NOT use collages of pre-recorded artist released samples other than their own

I think we are all on the same page.

Remember, As far as recorded music goes, it is the end result that counts, not the path that is taken.

And as far as Tipsy's live shows go, they don't use turntables and actually have been known to have REAL MUSICIANS on stage playing REAL MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS, not just two people with computers.

However, If Tipsy was to reproduce on stage what they recorded in the studio it would take a dozen or more live performers. Obviously an expensive and daunting task (as you well know). Given lots of money I'm sure they would love to have a huge live entourage but we'll just have to take what they can afford and enjoy it anyway.
