There is no easy genre. The track can be as complicated or simple as the producer(s) wants. However if you have no talent but know how to use a sequencer you can be a hip hop producer.

im pretty sure this applies to all edm too

...produce and then what?
Make it sound good? Make it sell? Make you feel good for yourself?


The question is far from easy to answer.
Even the simplest and most common form of music can be hard to produce if you want it to be something special. If else, you need a good marketing campaign to make it work

They're all easy. Making them sound good isn't.

good edm is hard to produce shit edm is easy to produce.

just throw a shitload of layers on something and it will sound as bad ass to the rest of the world as it seems to in basements across the land lol

IMO - Hardcore is the easiest. It is so fast, overbearing, and cheesy that it almost loses all musical quality.


Posted by MrJiveBoJingles on Jun-28-2007 18:20:

This is a poorly formulated question.

A better one might be: "In what genre of electronic music do the producers, on average, put the most detail or unconventional / complicated techniques for sound generation into their productions?"

And that would be IDM, most likely.


Posted by s3nate on Jun-28-2007 18:50:

IDM, experimental or very long ambient pieces

With IDM and experimental though you can just go ballistic on your computer or whatever production stuff and just randomly bash your hands on it then throw your laptop down the stairs, record it onto a lo-fi tape and scratch it all up and people will call you a genius.

That's because you listen to shitty hardcore.

there's no hardest or easiest, eveyone has their own preference. Imo, the hardest is remaking other people's material in different genres, for example ask DJ Tiesto to make a BT Track like in the ones in Binary Universe, i'd think he'd have a hard time doing all those slices and effects


Posted by Darkarbiter on Jun-29-2007 09:54:

I think psytrance is probably the hardest to produce. Hardcore easiest obviously here.

That's a convincing argument.

SPEED CORE IS THE EASIEST



1000 BPM = autowin

That pretty much sums it up for the easiest subgenre of EDM to produce.

Edit: There, wotyzoid, happy?


Posted by wotyzoid on Jun-29-2007 21:46:

first, edm is the genre , thern there is the subgenres, just a little essential education. then here is my two cents, I always say that a good producer knows that complication in a track is just a cover up for lack of creativity. But to some it up, like said before in this thread, making a track sound good is the hard part no matter what style.
