Just came back to TA after a few months and this forum seems far less active. Have all of you suddenly become trance masters and left the building?

Well there's only ever so much to talk about production, really...

well, if you look through all the countless threads about "how to do " you could honestly have enough info to not need to post another thread.

I do find it disappointing myself, as a couple years ago, I loved this section of TA as a reference area, but now it's just annoying finding more people producing for the wrong reasons or asking questions in a new thread, that was probably answered 10 minutes ago in an adjacent thread.

Some people expect to find ALL the answeres here while some of us do it the hard way and go to school to learn about it or buy/borrow a book to research it, which can also get bothersome.

Too many people seem afraid to just "try it before you ask about it!"

I think the quietness is rampant among more than just the TA production forums, as the profitability of producting EDM has lessenned with the oncoming death of vinyl records within the EDM world.

Won't digital take over when vinyl disapears? A number of DJs are starting to go digital, and more will begin to switch over. I'm not even sure vinyl is dying, as you say. If there's a demand for it, it will always be around. EDM doesn't seem to of ever been very profitable anyway, from what I understand. Seems the way to make real money with EDM is to be a touring DJ/producer. The money is made from gigs, not record sales. Anyway, this what I hear from various DJ/producers I've met along the way. I got into composing and producing Trance just for the fun of it, I doubt I'll ever get rich doing it. I don't DJ either.

Anyway, this forum has helped me quite a bit, I've learned some important things here. I'm doing fine now, I don't really have any questions or much to add. Sometimes I want to discuss the business side of EDM here, but I feel it would just get buried by a bunch of "HELP!!!!!!!!!! im DESPERITE!!" posts. I'm somewhat new here, so as far as I know it's always been like that. It might sound mean, but I really don't have the time, or motivation to help out the newbie producers here. As already said here, a lot of the questions can easily be answered by a FAQ, or a little research.
