There are entire websites out there dedicated to midi composition alone. If I can recall, the sites even held monthly competitions. If I recall however, they were mostly pop-classical based midis tho.

You wouldn't make much money from selling midis however(maybe 5-10% here and there ). Trance is too production based. Selling one of your tracks with samples + presets + eq'ing etc would be a different story tho.

He's the producer behind Mojado. I think that would qualify him as having talent alone.

Producer isn't always an ENGINNER/PROGRAMMER.

As far as I know Tiesto use to be a "producer" but worked with an enginneer.

Some people are too slow, and some enginneers are dam fast and much easier to work with...

Hence most huge hiphop/rnb producers have teams of enginneers working for them...who get their wage... and the producer cops the royalitys.

I spose you work your way up, but you control the direction of the track.

Just a reply to explain what we do in the virtual studio programme.
we produce records for djs who are not capable or do not have the equipment or time to do it themselves.

we produce all aspects of the track to their requirement, its no different to the tracks we have produced for many a BIG name dj in the scene who i will not name as the tracks were released as produced by them.
just like most tracks in todays music industry are written and produced by other people for the likes of Christina Aguilera, Britney etc..

what we don't do is sell any of our own tracks, thats pointless!

thanks
Paul

(No because the tracks we have produced before were for friends in the industry, that is the case for new tracks now though)

and i really don't think we are poisening Trance, we have been releasing quality trance music on quality trance labels for over 10 years now. All we are offering is a helping hand to up and coming djs who might need that extra push that a track getting some good hype and PR might give them.
the ones killing trance are the producers and record labels who are only interested in big bucks at the end of the day and thats why they continue to put cheesy pop vocals on trance records.

we have been offered decent money by Big labels to do this and we have always said no as we believe in the music, thats why we have always released our tracks with recognised labels such as Bonzai, ID&T etc..
