Agreed; the same goes for say when I play guitar - I still learn from great
guitarists awsome solo's. I dont use the solos in my own stuff, but knowing
them gives a few more licks, etc.. Same idea goes for vocal, drums, etc.

One thing, though: How do you mean "steal" from MIDI files? (I'm just
curious as I've never seen any good midi material as all I've seen is crap
christmas-songs, etc, so please fill me in ;-)

For me it's rather easy.
A) I don't use any audio loops but drum and percussion ones.
B) Often I just mangle them a lot so they somehow become my work as well.
Alternatively I might just hide them in the rest of the music. And then, the
loops I'm using are all pretty much basic, I don't like all those effected
and twisted things. That's the part I allways do myself.
C) I sometimes "steal" from MIDI files. But I keep nothing as it originally
was either.

In the end, I never use any premade stuff "as is". Mainly it's a source of
inspiration to me
For example, a good thing to learn from and get inspired is to "steal", say,
an 8 bar part of an existing complete song and try to reprogram it entirely.
As said, you learn a lot, your hearing skills improve as well, and, in my
case, I will often come up with own ideas during the process, being totally
different from the original. So again, in the end it's just to get some
inspiration.

Sascha
