chase & status
skream
etc ad nauseum

David James was the only decent player today.

yes well them too.....thoughts still? why would they use them? laziness?

everyone uses presets

Rusko has made, and I'm sure is still capable of making, awesome tracks. But he also seems really lazy of late. The average dubstep fanboy eats it up regardless, and rusko makes the $$ so I can't say I blame him. Though I hope he strays away from the cheese he's been putting out recently.

If something sounds good theres no need to change it

fair enough we all use presets but i tear them apart and see what does what as many people do but to leave it completely unchanged?!

Random advice: Try not to get too caught up in listening to music from a "producing" point of view. Try to avoid being the guy trainspotting samples and presets at the club. I know someone like that, and I went through a phase of it myself a few years back as well as I'm sure most people do. It really makes it hard to just sit back & enjoy the music, which is what music is made for in the first place. Except maybe the sitting part...

ha yeah cheers i was just happily listening to the album then this slapped me in the face like a massive brutal fish just wondered what other people thought about it is all

Fuck that. Art is about criticising the competition and focusing on how to better them. Listen as a producer, fuck other peoples music and enjoying it. Don't even appreciate it, just say you can do better and then do it.

in music there is no such thing as better imo. what does better mean, how many people buy it, how phat your snare is, how many wubs per minutes, or how many people tell you how they raped there nan because your track is so filthy.

music is to be enjoyed imo.

Yeah I get ya. Well, I think a good sound is a good sound regardless of the source. It is interesting to hear how other people use them. To clarify, I didn't mean never listen from a producing point of view, just try not to get too caught up in it is all. IMO etc...

You obviously enjoy different "music" () to what I do mate.
