I always get jumped on by people around me for listening to EDM. They think that any idiot can make this kind of music. I need a good online source which easily and clearly describes the amount of talent that is required to produce EDM. I know I can just ignore them, but I am to stubborn.

it takes the same amount of talent to produce anything really. You can make shitty edm, you can make shitty rap, you can make shitty rock. Or if your good you can make good edm, good rap or good rock.



so good luck

I don't think there is any kind of source that will tell you. Make a track with them and send it to labels, thats the only real way i suppose!

Just kick their faces in.


On a serious note though; good luck, I know how frustrating it can be. And I still haven't figured out a way.


.. except kicking their faces in

They're the idiots lol

meh i'm very sick of friends who make fun of me for listening to "techno", there is no way to go about enlightening them, or changing their minds, or whatever. Tell them to make a track if it's so easy, even if they had all of the latest programs and equipment they wouldn't even know where to begin. Any great dj will tell you is a lifestyle, it takes a lot of effort and time to be good at what you do. I think i remember tiesto saying in an interview he hasen't gone a day in a lot of years without working on his music for several hours.

It doesn't require talent to produce EDM. In fact, nothing in life requires talent, as it is simply the capacity of standing out in the crowd. That is not required, it's appreciated

You can't.

How can I prove that it takes more talent to write a peice of music than it does to sequence one on a computer?

I can't.

But it doesn't take talent...

You only say that because you don't have talent...oh, snap!

Any idiot can make EDM but getting it signed, played and it meaning something to somebody is a whole different story.
