I'm not stupid; I see right through your statements. You are so ing arrogant. You were complimenting him but only doing so to rationalize his success by his "average musicality". I assure you 99.99999999% of edm producers are average musically. It's like you get off on the fact that you think nobody is any good and that big Kismet is going to save the world of electronic music (despite your whopping 1 release). You also talk like you're Leon Bolier with 300 amazing productions to your name; when you've yet to do !
And you picked the wrong person to do the 3-5 years thing. I have one album finishing up and in circulation by the end of this year and then an original artist album that will be done by next year. What am I doing to get there? I'd say putting in 20 hour days 6/7 days of the week on top of my regular job is doing quite a bit. This is my whole life and exactly why your drivel offends me so much. Certainly you picked the wrong guy to compare to in a rant.
I'll tell you what; since you're so up your own ass; why don't we both take the same track and remix it and end this game once and for all. We can leave it open to voting on TA and we can make each track anonymous so that name branding doesn't change voting outcomes. Quite simply i'm telling you to put up or shut up. You have put down hoards of artists and methods and it's time to show you whats up.
If you're interested let me know and i'll make the thread. If not then gtfo. |
LOL
but srsly, the man makes a point. You've been called out Kismet |

i had an argument with him a while back.
Thaught he was a little too into himself. I was curious so I checked out some of his music and it isn't that bad and he is probably more able than alot of people here. I do think rationalizing someone else's success an bad attitude in that it convinces you that there is some preclusion you don't have that will allow you to succeed.
Accept the fact that there are people making a living doing EDM that use a cracked copy of cubase, a soundblaster soundcard and some nice LG computer speakers and your ego will have no option than to accept responsibility for your own competence.
and although I doubt Kismet will ever make a living doing music and I think he is a little delusional, most success in music requires a healthy ignorance of odds. Persistence goes alot further than talent. |

Tough times when you thought music is about how good the track sounds musically, the composition, arragement, etc. Eventually you will realise that the musicality is just half or sadly less than half of what makes a track enjoyable to people, and successful on dancefloors. |
do you think a 14 year old kid listening to your track at 128 kbs cares about production ?
Production and mixing is going to matter less as the EDM target demograph change from djs to people with a credit card. You might want to stop whatever snow ball you think you have going and actually take alook at how the music industry is changing. |

| Kismets assumption about working ITB vs You must have proper equipment to make good music, was way off, hopefully he kows that much now. I heard his track its alright, shows he can produce. He has some good ideas to futher his music. |

I have listened to some of his music as well and it's not bad. What irritates me to no end though is that he acts like his small sample of music really means something. Until you have consumers (not dj's) listening to your music and BUYING your music; you aren't ! That means i'm not yet either; but I don't come on here claiming i'm Jesus Christ of music and saying everything is wrong I don't do.
If someone in music has enjoyed success why not just look into what they're doing and see if you can find an application for some of it in your own music? I mean the thing I love more than anything is that I learn something new every single day.
While I believe many of the same things as him (referring to healthy ignorance of the odds and persistence above talent) you don't see me (or the others that also believe such things) coming on here and calling out established producers and referring to himself like he is knee deep in a CAREER of music and production.
If I wasn't putting in 80 hour weeks (40 hrs work 40 hrs music) for the last year+ in order to MAKE this my career it probably wouldn't offend me so much. If he is as confident in what he says as he comes off though then he really should accept my challenge and put them up so to say. I pretty much think he just says it to motivate himself though and doesn't actually believe it. Kind of like a mini Cron in the making. Yikes... |

Thank you for bringing this up I completely agree. I don't know if it's in the process of happening now but that's what edm music needs to get back to. The fans. Sales shouldn't be supported by your co-workers imo. That's a big reason why things are as bad off as they have been. Tons of people act like it's a dead brand and it will never come back. The thing is; it just needs artists willing to book the trends. This means putting in some serious work without receiving monetary success in order to establish yourself working around the big wigs. |

Kismet was talking about buying a Nord Lead 2 prior to his first pair of headphones and thus I will never take any advice he has to offer regarding equipment seriously. |

Just today I came across this video of Laidback Luke in his studio. I've already posted my opinions on page 3 or 4, but if there is ANY doubt still left, then this should really stfu most people.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BQSER4QsrPg
That guy just can't stop laughing at his "studio" :)
and yet, Laidback Luke > us.
p.s.
Notice that he uses the FL bundled eq and compressor and other free plugins. I don't use FL, but this video should also shut up all those "you can't make professional music with FL" comments. |
