The "main thing" about producing?

Creativity, I imagine. Nobody can teach you to "be creative." You either are you aren't.

The other big thing is technique, learning how to use synths, percussion, and effects to put together a track. Anybody can learn that.

music appreciation, creativity

When someone has their own, distinctive sound, that comes from life, from experience. We all grow up, experiencing life in different ways. As kids we listen to certain types of music, maybe later on different types, then there are a heap of non-musical experiences as well. That provides us with our particular, personal view of life and that will come through in our productions. Then, there are the hundreds/ thousands of production methods we use to try and bring ourselves across to the listener.

The main thing is life, experience. The more you have of it, the more you focus on expressing that through music, the more you'll have a voice which is distinctly your own.

i guess, from my experience is the way you find the life sound, i don`t know i was just being curious, cause if you come to think about it, comercial mtv music is all flat theres nothing special about it from my point of view, the porpouse of it is just sell everything except the music...

i guess time will tell me what`s my sound anyway keep posting what do you people think about it

having a lot of fun mixed with determination to finnish what you start.

Personally i have only really been into trance for a year and a half or so, but when i go back in my backcatalogue and listen to the drumnbass and techno i did i can hear a quite distinct sound. And i just figured that it was the sound of a guy having fun...and of longdrawn nocturnal hashish smoking sessions.

I think we all have our own sound, but when we are in the learning phase we lean up against other peoples sound to figure out the tricks of the trade. This is how i did, and how anyone i know did it.

Often when people ask me for trick on how to "do music" i tell them to carbon copy their favorite tracks down to the last filter pitch. Soon it gets boring, but the techniques learned are now avaible in their own project and the rest is just about experience.

Go outside and walk around until you see something that moves you in a way that nothing else could, when you feel that you have gotten enough out of the short walk, go home and just relax and the next day sit down and worry about producing. You will find that you are much more free and unswayed.
