wtf is up with...

I love that new users can't understand this.

because everyone and their downs-syndrome uncle can get a pirated copy of any DAW/synth they want in an ettempt to make music. So the production culture is becoming saturated with 'scene kids' that although they would never admit it are attracted to the idea of making Dubstep because of the ego-merit it would bring, yet lack any form of an educated background in music, nor the correct perspective or incentive to actually enter into the world of digital music creation.

They don't want to make music, they want to miraculously make the next big dubstep dance floor smasher, there's an important difference right there.

Don't get me wrong i think the 'underground' access to powerful music creation tools is actually a very very good thing as amazing tallent would more often than not been restricted from realising itself. I don't think every 17 year old Digitaly musical savant has thousands of Dollars to throw at what could easily be a pipe dream. I'm completely and utterly all for people who can't afford and wouldn't have bought otherwise to explore a creative avenue as long as they make no personal monetary gain, and if they get big, support what got them there by going legit before signing any contracts.

But on the other hand it causes a saturation of sheep that actually have no critical interest in the creation of music as an expression of self. They just get wrapped up in the 'idea' of making the kind of music that's the 'in thing'.

There's your answer, imo.

this is true. but most people who are like this end up quiting after like 2 months since they can't make anything and have noticed that youtube "wobble" tutorials aren't helping them for shit.

i don't know if I am like this. I mean when I hear a song and it has a cool sound I like to recreate it and see what I can come up with and I also make music to satisfy myself so when I am alone in my house i can blast it and go crazy or just chill to it. as long as I enjoy it then it's good that''s all i do when i produce or all i think about.

Intervention, and no .. no free bar... and no rianna

at least ur djing dnb.... *looks over at the old vinyl* *sigh* should get some decks again....

[serox]

the massive influx of how do i sound like producer x or song x threads lately, seriously?
i don't remember it having been this bad to date yet
do people just not want to take the time to learn synthesis and experiment around on their own anymore?

Even your favourite producer prob asked questions on 'how to do this' etc

Everyone has a computer and everyone is a music producer now days. Before artists used to share knowledge with each other in a more private way. Now, we login to a website and can ask loads of people at random very easily.
