You're talking about productions you think are good when the issue is with his abilities as a DJ and not his abilities as a producer (though many TA's may dispute those as well). |

| When I saw him DJ, he broke the sound system by completely red-lining the mixer. |

i've seen him DJ once... he wasn't *BAD*, his mixing was okay, just there didn't seem to be any progression to his set & all the tunes sounded pretty samey to me
as a producer, i think he's technically great but artistically lacking
so pretty much the same in both i guess, heh |

Artistic = The aspect that involves composing, arranging, music theory, the actual 'creation' or 'invention' of the piece in musical terms.
Technical = The aspect that involves using the equipment (sequencers, samplers, synths, etc) to produce sounds, effects, and tweak the final product to produce the best sound possible. |

what is there to explain? :conf:
i think he is competant in the studio; he knows how to mix down a track and have it sound punchy, warm, clean, three dimensional, full without being cluttered, and have it sound good on a club system. i can also tell he puts alot of time into perfecting small details & manipulating samples, such as cutting them up, reversing them & adding varying types of effect to them
however this doesn't (imo) make him a good artist, it makes him a good engineer. every one of his tracks i've found dull & quite formulaic with little creativity, re-using the same style of bassline, twinkly synths & vocal manipulation. never once have i heard one of his tracks in a set and thought "damn, that stands out", or really acknowledged it at all even
but whatever. it's all been said before |
