I really can't stand that "omfg trance = classical", it's like some ppl need to justifiy why they listen to trance with other reasons than the obvious that it's good music and that they like it, to feel better about themselves maybe, i don't know. Trance is nowhere near the complexity of classical compositions. How many trance producers can write music for and direct an orchestra?

i might yes, but i think i'll leave it with this. If i didn't make my point yet i don't think i ever will.

Is a DJ that can play instruments a musician?

Only if he utilizes turntables and\or dj technology in a MUSICAL fashion and to their musical potential.

If I'm amazing at drums, and I can't mix for shit, and don't care about phrase matching, harmonic mixing, or even beatmatching...that is NOT being musical with turntables and therefore, qualifies me in the category of NOT being a musician in the realm of DJ'ing. Just a kiss ass who loves dance music and like to pretend or maybe is just learning how to truly be musical behind decks. Nothing wrong with that! But truth is truth.

Oh yeah, and most house/trance djs produce their own tunes anyways




Thats not entirely true. I'd say a vast majority of DJ's use engineers to produce their tunes

Originally posted by Beethoven what the DJ's do in the club? the answer is: MIXING and MIXING. my best friend is a good DJ. he said, to be a good DJ, he should mix well and has a good track selection. a DJ should ACT! What he really means is learn how to smile and use body language to communicate with the crowd. is that all? the answer is: Yes. Anybody can be a DJ. However, DJ is like running. Anyone can run. However, only a few that can be a champion. I respect them. My point is: learning how to be a DJ is far more easy than any other musical intstrument.
