The next thought would have been "why bother learning how to use Battery so?". Actually, I like getting to know it and will keep at it. Like I said, loading samples into audio is something I'm exploring too...but I find it more cumbersome at the moment. Too early to choose between either method but sampler is ahead at the moment.
Those CM videos, and similar mag vids are just to give you tips about what you can do with your source audio. You could be there for ages watching them talk about programming midi tracks and setting up audio instruments; there are vids like that out there. But I guess that in watching these vids they expect you, as a producer, to use your own initiative about sourcing your audio; because that's not what they want to show you. Plus, I'm sure these producers pre-construct 'wicked samples' because they want to demo their tips with half-decent sounding loops, so you don't get bored by repetitive midi sequenced loops, or with the time it takes for them to program it all.
