Sound Designer or Musician?
I've noticed, that different producers come from different background, and they often have different focus in their music.
Sound Designer
The first type, is, more often than not, the one without a musical background, and is often involved in maybe DJing or sound engineering.
This type tends to focus more on the sound design, the quality of the sound, synth designing, and etc...
Pros: Produces cleaner tracks, sounds more "professional"
Cons: Lack of power melodically, tends to be unoriginal
I find these type of producers tend to produce more cleaner more well-mixed tracks with less emphasis on melody, but this may not be true for all cases.
Musician
The second type, is, more often than not, one with some musical background, and has often played an instrument before maybe. This type likes to jump into producing and get right into the meat of things.
I find these type of producers tend to produce tracks with stronger melodies and their tracks seem to have more style, with less emphasis on the sound quality, but this may not be true for all cases.
Pros: Powerful sounding melodies, tends to be more original sounding
Cons: Has more weaker mix usually, tends to neglect quality in favour of style
I find this is actually pretty important for each producer to step back and evaluate themselves because it lets them see more where their strong points stand and where they could work on more towards.
So, which one do you believe yourself to be more??
For me, personally, I am the second type.
