Yeah so next time I don't like something and I decide to say so on the internet, kindly withhold your 'why waste time talking about things you don't even like?' vagina gospel. :gsmile: |
like I said earlier, you are free to have your own convictions about things, i've always just been sharing my ideals, they arent the gospel. its just things I try to go by. and not liking something in a music appreciation context, from my experience in real world music discussion is something that happens far less than people who talk what they do like. I talk about what I like 80-90% of the time, and what I dont like maybe 10%-20%. So its not like im completely againt talking about what I dont like, but for the most part I find things I do like.
vagina gospel...sounds tasty. lol |

to be fair i don't know of one dj who's put a mix comp together on anything other than a comp' for years now.
i think the more accurate question you're all debating here is can producers learn to read a crowd and / or programme correctly.
imo, like anything in life, some learn, some don't. what won't change is the people breaking through most successfully will always come via a production route so i guess the formula of producers taking to the decks isn't going to disappear any time soon... |
Exactly, most mix compilations are programmed through either Pro Tools or Ableton on a computer. And if anyone knows the deal it it is you. Once in a while they are done on decks, I think recently Tama Sumo's Panorama Bar was done on decks.
Marcus thanks for discussing the topic at hand. Indeed the Producer to DJ transition formula wont change, and maybe over time the best DJs of those who transitioned will rise to the top, and we will have less DJs via Production, that cant program or read crowds as well as DJs who put their time into their craft. Its funny because my observation I thought was seen by many already, but unfortunately we have a small group of TA's who trolls and attack people for just about any reason.
Best of luck with the Boratto compilation. Who is up next?
:D |

Aye aye, I'm just saying, there is a lot of crap out there, so invariably more stuff will catch flak than praise. I spend plenty of time talking about and posting about music I like, check my history in this forum. |

right, and as much as i'm for the positive sharing of ideas, I do have my criticism of certain music/artists/ideas too. Im not shy of criticizing things, so I dont get why you thought im absolutely against criticism. Though I dont mind criticizing things right now, eventually I will have to keep it to a minimum, and think more politically, as my voice becomes more far reaching. At the moment not many might care about what I have to say. Maybe in the future they will, and ill join the humble pie eaters, or maybe success will make me more humble on its own.
When i've been against criticism of artists and music by other members here, was when we've had pre emptive bashing of music or an artist, that made no sense. Its like why often share something you dont like with me? Why would I find that interesting? Or it was the hiveminds that develop bashing music or artists. It is mind blowing when people bring up music or artists that they dont like as much as they bring up things they do like, which is exactly what goes on here. And to get to my ideal, I juxtaposed the behaviour here, with real world music discussion / appreciation culture. So my ideal is based on real life experience. But you can criticize music all you want, its not up to me lol.
I know you do your fair share of praising, and my solution to there being a lot of crap out there because of digital distribution, just ignore the crap...focus more on what you enjoy and what sounds good to you, and there will be less crap. Why fight crap music so much when you can be embracing good music with the same amount of spent energy.
late nite music making session ahead...cheers |

Andre Sobota - Forgotten
What a beautiful track. Anyone knows the release date? |

| Having given it a listen, I'd say the first disc is very pleasant melodic house with quite a summery vibe. The second disc is bland Resident Advisor house with only four or five interesting tracks. Have to say that neither disc has a huge amount of structure or direction. |

I had this on in the background while playing a game on the PC for my first listen but what you said pretty much sums up my impression of it. Not sure if I cbf giving the 2nd CD a proper listen, boring as . :o |

| Didn't quite fancy either of the CDs. Overall were they good, fine mixing, but it felt like they missed backbone, as if the whole mix itsself didn't have character. |

I'd also agree with this. I liked the first CD despite the fact it had no structure to it at all. Got very bored listening to CD2 though |

pretty much what you'd expect from Gui who dj's from a laptop. Less variety, more monotone, less divergence from the normal path, etc.
I saw Gui live once and it was fun. I was drunk off my ass. I would not buy one of his CD's however because that type of modern party music doesnt have the same effect on me outside of a club |
