I can see this thread turning horribly wrong in a few posts....


I would agree that the producers don't get half of the recognition they deserve.

Let's please all keep in Mind RJ"s thread on TA Common Courtesy and respect each others opinions with some class!

My purpose with this thread is to get some musical direction into how the music is actually created NOT who or what Genre is better!

It really depends on the DJ. Some are just glorified jukeboxes with good marketing and connections. Others have insane technical skills; still others use production software and hardware to enhance their collections; and then there are also the DJs that spend ridiculous amounts of hours in record shops all over the world searching for the most obscure tracks.

I'd agree that on the whole, DJs are given way too much credit (trance DJs in particular), but some of them actually do deserve it.

it depends on how you look at it....

Technical Dj Skills (beatmatching, cueing etc) - Armin and Tiesto fail miserably at this section

Track selection - some djs have great track selection abilitys and others stink at it...

Origional Productions - blank and jones are amazing producers but they are just average behind the decks, they spin great sets, but i have heard way better dj's technically. but they can still beat match better than tiesto and armin

Remixes - some producers work better remixing other tracks tahn composing their own, but they always add their twist on it.. so that gives them credit in my books.

what he said...

some DJs are way beyond just DJing... they're technical geniuses, they know the equipment they use inside and out (and no, not just talking about turntables and mixers, but sound processors, effect processors, sound systems and custom sound setups, etc). And yes, some of them spend way too much time in record shops looking for those gems. You gotta give those guys some credit.
