have you noticed that every successful artist in EDM has a specific sound that is unique. I guess what I am saying is that unless you have a sound that really is yours, you won't ever get anywhere. In fact I would say that is about as important as your song in itself. I'm a little tipsy but perhaps someone more eloquent can rescue this titanic post.
Basically , I listen to so many tracks here and the one thing they all lack is something that is unique. A sense of style ? I don't know what but people just don't know how to have a sound. I mean i believe in copying your fav artists but so many people here sound so god damn generic.
I think very few people know what they actually want to sound like. |

| Kind of a good point, really. While I think I've done an okay job developing techniques to the point where they could be coalesced into my own particular style, I've neglected an ideal that I've been giving a lot of thought to, lately. |

great post, agree 100%.
To add i believe a lot of producers never develop their own style because they are too concentrated on one particular (often niche) genre of music in terms of production and listening as well. |

TBH, I'm not sure that I even know what my style is. I really don't think about it much since I'm not really trying to develop a style for myself - I'm mostly focused on my collaborator's/co-writer's styles. So, I typically just go with what I expect to hear in my mind and I assume that my diverse influences and playing styles over the decades leave some quasi-trademark sound.
But, I agree that, for an up-and-coming artist who is trying to make a name for him/herself, style is very important. |

| OR you create a signature sound and don't deviate from it ever, making your tracks indistinguishable from one another *side-glance at Burial* |

This, in my opinion is THE secret to being succesful that people seem completely unwilling to accept.
I think that most people are unable to make a style of their own tbh. |

| I agree with tehlord it's very hard coming up with a unique sound. |
