Agree with most things you say except this.
I keep seeing this sentiment that all music is valid and of equal footing as it's subjective and cannot be compared but I fundamentally disagree.
If we say music cannot be compared / judged then neither can restaurants, books or films yet all of us make comparisons all the time otherwise we would eat anywhere, buy any music, read any book, watch any film.
Whilst we all have taste imperatives, that's not to say we cannont decipher between the good and the bad in any genre.
Sub genres in dance are a bit petty and territorial, but I suppose inevitable. If we say there is no such thing as house music as some are saying ("it's all just music")then in that case how would the person making this claim know which label to send to, which part of the music store to go to?
I have this feeling people say things like it's all just music, to win applause from others - they want others to percieve them as NON JUDGEMENTAL - but I think it's fundamentaly dishonest to portray themselves in this way, afterall I'm sure they are VERY ruthless and ergonomic when it comes to making buying decisions, and they very much home in on just the stuff they can relate to and all this fluffy talk of 'it's all just good music' is not in thier mind for a second. |
What I was saying was that with two people remixing the same track you have a common starting ground. Ideas for original pieces are infinite. With a remix people can go "oh I see why he did that, cool" etc. Theres familiarity and people can see how and why the producer did what they did to the track. Original pieces are awesome but as for competition sake they are a waste of time. A remix is the only way for two people to compete against each other imo. If you take the common starting ground away it's the same thing as an original piece but that's the key reason why remixes and remix comps are so popular.
Kismet I'd still like to do this. We can do a track from any genre that you choose I don't care. Tracks take me a long time to finish so I don't see why you aren't jumping at this opportunity to shut me up. You said you finish most tracks pretty quickly so what reasons are there for not accepting? |

| You guys need your own battleground thread or something. You've completely ruined this one. |

that they were made 8 years ago and sound more current than your tracks ?
They both mix genres that are at odds with each other.
every sound is made from pure initialized saw wave
this was before vengeance
there were no trance presets at the time
there are no loops
There are no samples i didn't create myself.
all the drums were made after countless layering because again , there were no sample libraries for this stuff.
And again , it was made 8 years ago, And I did not know any music theory at that point. For the record.
But I don't really care if you don't like them. Only one of us can actually say they make a living doing music. As far as the EDM , i am proud of my tracks and I think they are all unique and for someone that only dabbled, I think they are great. I didn't post them to show boat, I posted them because you kept on baiting me. |

And ideas for remixes aren't? |

No they aren't. If you have a common ground starting point you can only do a number of things differently without completely rewriting the song. |

That's such a small minded way to look at a remix. A remixer takes the original song and does what he/she wants with it. Some remixes sound completely different from the original but are still considered a remix because it was created with the original idea. |
