Yeah it doesn't. It requires money if you want expensive equipment and software, or just a software synthesizer program, both with minimal computer knowledge required to make tracks. If you know your way around computers and learn well you can just pick up this stuff and make EDM. You can't just pick up a guitar or a violin and start playing music. That takes training and talent. That's not to say that some EDM producers don't have talent, but few do.

I guess you could let them listen to a Cosmic Baby track then tell them that it was made by a guy with over 10 years classical piano training.

thats just stupid.

of course you can pick up an instrument and start playing atleast a basic piece...

just the same with the computer music, yes you can copy a DR.Rex loop in reason but it will take a while to make top quality tracks.

Everybody can write an exiting book. Come on it's just a story, and I know how to write, I even have word on my pc. Pretty much the same retarded logic.

Anyone can make any genre, bassically though it may be total shit

see i can rap

"rap is crap"

Ok it wasnt very good... but thats the whole point. Anything is possible

if you have marginal talent, a big ego and you get PvD to actually like your shitty tracks, you as well can become just like the talentless hack known as thomas datt

if you want to be the next mr.sam, tightarm someone who has talent into helping you with a mean contract. Tho I heard from a few sources that Arturo is trying to be the next mr.sam

With most instruments, you can't. Or you shouldn't at least.

If you want to call some stupid fuck playing system of a down on his guitar, he still usually needs to print tabs off of the internet, and learn how to read tabs.

Piano is one where you could, and drums, but again, these are both percussion. I mean piano is probably the best instrument, but its very simple, so essentially someone can press keys and do what sounds good.

Instruments like trumpet, violin etc. are extremely difficult to learn without the least bit of guidence. Besides, to be honest with you I'm narrowminded enough to say that any musician is bullshit if they can't read music. Sadly enough some of the best popular musicians strait from the 60s onwards did'nt read music. Alot more than you realise did though.

Well, the talent required for the making of EDM would be contingent on what style of EDM we're talking about.

If it has quality melody and flowing vocals with subtle textures, that takes an AWEFUL LOT of talent to produce. If you're talking about stuff like electro-house or EDM styles that are almost exclusively percussion with no real melody, then I'm afraid it takes almost zero talent.

talent..
what a stupid word.
If you are passionate about music but do not pursue it because of "lack of talent" you are stupid.
Talent is something that can not be measured, because it is non-existant.
Its all about skill and creativity.
Having said that, good EDM requires both, just like all other types of good music which constantly pushes the boundries of music as we know it.
