I start off with the name first.

Just bought myself a new one of these with some royalties.
Blowing the rest on beer & pies.

wow. what a crock of shit. i'm glad you've given yourself the duty of deciding what is and isn't "art", man. it sure does take the burden off the rest of our shoulders. Yeah, I think about art a lot and I'm glad that I'm able to see that most electronic producers are just 'people with com...

Yes! Too many producers and not nearly enough artists.

Yeah!

You can't hide a totally shit idea if your tune is kept simple.

Complexity is often hiding the fact somebody actually has no ideas.

This goes for all kinds of art.

Complexity masquerading as sophistication.

But, trying to tell people is often like

If I don't wake up with my tune in my head or can't recall quickly recall it upon waking up the next morning, I assume it's bland, forgettable shite and delete it. I wish others would do this, too.

Just saying.

IMHO: You guys are all so close to the real crux, at least what I've discovered it to be lately in my own productions - IF the original proposition is " much Dubstep lacks the sonic character/quality of earlier sample-driven music " and " it all sounds like it's made 'in the box' (co...

No real passion. Total and utter copout. Just because you don't like it doesn't mean there's no passion there. Majority of producers producing the heavier stuff live and breathe music and wouldn't know what to do if it wasn't in their lives. Sure yeah there's alot of samey stuff but that's like any...

Is it the sounds that are uninspired? Or is there more to it? How is it that a guitar can produce a million memorable pieces of music? A basic, fucking hippy bollocks acoustic guitar with some barefooted stoner playing it? They can play something which will stick in your head and it sticks there bec...

because lack of original thought... not lack of sAmpling ...Stop talking sense...this is the production forum! Original thought? Pshaw! Perhaps a new VSTI is needed? That'll make people sound different! Here's a brand new synth! It can do anything! Any sound you like! I'll be back tomorrow to liste...

What is sampling going to solve? What about learning to make music properly, instead of just nicking your favourite bits off a thrift shop record? If you do that, chances are, the best part of YOUR music is going to be the sample you made of somebody else's music. Innit? Innit though? Get me? inart...

the problem is simple, Producers aren't sampling anymore, sampling and "crate digging". In the early 90s. Rave music was aboout 75% sampled sounds from hip hop. The rest of it was synths and soundmodules. All dubstep now is presets from VSTi's. that's why it all sounds the same, I'd like ...

I think the problem with most electronic music is that people are often uninspired yet still sit down and try to force something out when the well is dry. Don't listen to other people's shit, especially if it's the same genre as you're going for. Don't watch a shit movie and think "I'll sample ...

Do not sit down at the buttons until you have an idea. This is very important. Go and live life away from your computer for a while so you can bring some of it back to your music. When you've made something you think is pleasing, go to bed. Sleep. Wake up. Is your new tune playing in your head? If n...

All three sound the same. What's the point again?

Thanks for the include.

Dubstep’s Chris Morris Chris Morris, fuck off. Looks more like a bunch of Nathan Barleys cashing in on the latest pop culture talking point. Es are good, Es are good, he's Ebeneezer Goode. Except he's not. He's somebody in a cat suit. How wacky. Mwah ha ha ha ha ha. I remember when Dubstep had fewe...
