Music has almost become like successful No-code, where you can just click everything in without even touching the keyboard. However you need a good understanding of what you want and how its done based on music knowledge to get something complex done. Also you might find transitions a little challenging.
Tastes have changed and the bar seems to be set lower, but still the sound has to be interesting or the appeal will be limited.
I believe that whatever enables you to make music that YOU like to hear is the important part. Forget the audience and make something that makes you feel, evokes your emotions, or just helps you relax. This is your advantage to be able to create something that is tailored to you.
With that said, sometimes its better to put a project aside or listen to it in your car and see how you feel about it then, your opinion may change.
Hope this made sense.
One, because it's usually quite boring. Two, usually because we've heard the samples a hundred times before and know roughly where they came from, or at least where they've been used before.
That being said, most large artists do percussion and whatnot from scratch, perhaps re-using individual sounds but almost always coming up with their own arrangements.
A notable artist (group) that used sampling almost exclusively is Prodigy. They're famous for coming up with unique ways to arrange old breakbeat samples and whatnot. I would be surprised if anyone had any issue with it.
It's unfortunate the guy who made the drum pattern so much modern music is built on apparently died broke and unhomed.
But that's just what the genre requires.
