I disagree with that.

I think that the obsession over the technical aspects of a track and the unwillingness to criticize uninspired or just plain bad melody writing or arrangement in a track is one reason why there's so much boring and derivative crap around these days.

You can have a song that's perfectly EQ'd and compressed, nice and loud and shiny with plenty of effects, and it might "sound great in a club," but if there's no interesting musical idea or feeling in it, then it's ultimately just forgettable dross.

I don't think people should hesitate to tell someone that they've written a boring track on the level of composition -- or to tell them when they've written a great one on the level of composition even if the mixing's not terribly professional.

i disagree to that again. obsession to technical skills does rarely ruin anything (except for BT but hes burned out). also we dont have any more crap around today than before, infact i think the oposit. the general level of music is pretty high today, we just miss those realy great few tracks that makes it as classic. and that has nothing to do with the productions itself, it has to do with money and time. imo

In my opinion, there is too many good technical but not creative producers out there.

Everyone wants to sound like everyone else, and not themselves.

and thats beacuse all you need is a computer, headfones and internet to get going. everyone and their mother tryes to make music now. just like myself. i could never make "music" if it werent for the discovery of reason. i had cubase hundreds of years ago but i couldnt make a single sound out of it. this was before VST if i remember right, think it was called cubasis actualy a stripped version somehow, so only included "plugins" worked but i couldnt figure it out. i had a casio keyboard but i realy didnt understand what the fuck midi was. and no way was i going to read anything about it, so i started djeing instead.
