There is a difference between inspiration and copying/bandwagoning.

Originality is a true virtue.

Wohoo I think I have found a quite unique way of processing bass.
Here is a clip of my latest truly original production under my new alias Lenny Enbassi:

Your right there is a diffrence, but my point is to try and recreate other peoples work to gain some understanding and build your own inspired work. In other words gaining understanding through reverse engeneering, and implementing what you have learned in your own work. I don't recall what this thread was about now lol.

Yes, there is: inspiration is an intangible concept, always talked about after the fact but nowhere to be found when you're "looking" for it. It's the title that many artists, good and bad alike, ascribe to their hours upon hours of hard work after forgetting just how tedious and frustrating those hours really were.

Plagiarism, on the other hand, is a very tangible concept.

There's a pro melody button in every DAW, but you have you pay more to get it.

Before you get that money, you have to come up with your own melodies. Sorry.
