| Dance music doesn't even belong in the same discussion as orchestral music, if we're talking about the compositional skill and training needed. It doesn't matter which genre of dance music you're talking about. |

Production =/= Composition
Thread is about Production, and since it is, House/Techno > Orchestral Music when it comes to Production, unless you can make a strong case for Orchestral Music being harder to Produce.
First Step : Understanding what Production of Music means
Second Step : Understanding the Processes in making Orchestral Music work
So yes...Orchestral Music doesnt belong in the same discussion as House/Techno, since its likely far easier to Produce, for reasons already stated previously. |

| I think minimal techno is by far the hardest genre to produce. I am yet to hear a single song that doesn't suck. |

This makes absolutely no sense, not even any sarcastic sense, massive FAIL as usual. |

Well, that's the thing, "production" means completely different things in different genres, so it doesn't even make sense to make broad comparisons. This thread should probably stick to comparing dance genres... |

Why should the thread change what it is discussing, if its a rather fair topic? Are you MAD that House/Techno is harder to produce than Orchestral Music? :p |

exactly.
It doesn't matter if it's complex or not, because it all comes down to "is this song good?" and making a good song is hard in all genres. |

Yeah, Minimal is probably the genre where you can get closest in the shortest amount of time. |

Because you have to equivocate on the use of the term "produce" in order to even make the comparison. In dance music, "produce" often means "compose, arrange, engineer sounds, mix, and [sometimes] master", while in other genres the meaning of the term is much more restricted. It would make more sense to simply ask, "Which genre is hardest to make?" |

Psy-trance seems like it would be difficult just because there's so much filler. It really depends on the producer... If you have an ear for a particular genre, you'll probably be good at it. Electro seems like it would be the most difficult unless you're good at writing pop songs.
Above all I would say that dark dirty super complicated and erratic DNB. There are some tracks I've heard that have just blown me away from a production standpoint. |
