-- Things that annoy you
Pages (7): « 1 2 [3] 4 5 6 7 »
It really annoys me when artists who I've never heard of or don't listen to at all send a friend request to me on myspace, and later send a spam-comment containing how much he/she appreciates "my" great support over the years. 
I hate release-spam comments in general on myspace. When they come, my "deny" button is my friend. 
I know it's an effective way to promote stuff, but that doesn't change the fact that it annoys me. 
the playbar in myspace stopping at 50% when browsing a track (palm cant wait for a whole track u know, palm needs to brows and skip fast).
haha, I agree with that, Palm.. Two other things with the new myspace-player that is annoying is that you can't change picture on your tracks after you added one the first time. And secondly that the label-information doesn't show anywhere, even though you still can fill in the label-info when uploading the track.
People who has myspace and last.fm in their signatures.. grr.. 
i see what u did just now

I thought of another good one: products pretending to be pro studio gear when they aren't.

The idea that there's 'real' DJ's and 'fake' DJ's.
"My means of playing other peoples music is more authentic because I use older, inferior tools!"
People who diss ableton DJs or claim that ableton produces inferior results.
That said, nothing's worse than the kid who just got deckadance and thinks he's all that because he plays 96kbit/s electro mp3s off limewire.

BitTorrent killed Dancemusic
all those boys who leech their favorite DAW, plugs and Vengeance sample packs of the piratebay and start micro DJ�ng..... THAT killed dance music. no longer nice chord progressions, no longer non sylenth / NEXUS / Vanguard saw based patches.....
It's hard to find anything beyond the FLStudio Vengeance VSTi based ITB preset pushing, loop mangling sidechained clich� sound nowadays.......
In that respect you could even say that mr. M. Schleis killed dancemusic my making it to easy for everybody to puzzle shitty tracks out of quality patches / samples together
All you hear nowadays is Vengeance touched (either sample kits, or patchbanks or factory kits (Tone2 RefX etc)..... it's impossible to avoid them.... and A&R still demands their sound, because those 16 year old electronic label "A&R" managers don't know any different..... anything else sounds "dated"
I think however that Vengeance has put the biggest mark on Dancemusic in the last 5 years, their stuff is everywhere, their sound is in high demand and widely used, i cannot name any other person/company who influenced the industry this much
I don't really agree.
I've never seen someone 'dabble' in production and make anything I'd care to play out in a club, nor that would get many peoples' attention, generally.
The volume of people dabbling makes for a lot of chaff, but that chaff doesn't even see release on any label you care about. It doesn't even waste my time. If there's a song I don't like while music shopping, 90% of the time it's because I just don't like the style.
If they've leeched their software, and they're not dabbling, they're committing, well then they're not making shit music. It still might not be my style, but at least they're not 'hacks'....
Hm, bad pun.
True, but look at "commercial" dancemusic at the moment. there are very few who can pull together goosebump type uplifters like Paul Miller and stuff. There are loads who squeeze out, that crappy laid back "i can't even play a decent progression" 132 BPM fruity / reason template shit. " with leads that go nowhere and are just fillers. But since they used the right "building blocks" the sound is right and it gets pushed on DL stores.
It seems that these days if the sound is right, the arrangement no longer matters..... and "the sound" nowadays is no longer producing, but just grabbing the right template and sample kit. and people appearently love it....
