I don't really know if he still makes music now, but When he made his hits.. He was using sounds that were hot during that time period.. If your listening to his old stuff.. of course it will sound old to you.. synths of that time period don't sound like synths we use in todays edm world..
and rap music ? really? so your saying beats tupac and biggie rapped on sound like what's being put out today? your an idiot lol |

he said that and my response is..
In rap music.. Producers arent using the same sounds that were hot 10 years ago feel me? Timbaland isn't in high demand now a days.. Pharrel stil kinda is.. but their not as relevant in hip hop music as they once were.. |

Very good points here. My biggest mistakes are the same already mentioned:
- Using presets (and using HUGE amount of time going trough the presets and trying to find the right one - instead of learning how to make the sound)
- Tweaking one tiny detail for hours and never finish the track. |
There's nothing wrong with using presets. As long as you use them to make a good song. You can make and tweak and design as many ing sounds as you want, but if your melody and arrangement and creativity are not there... There's no point!
Make good music, with whatever you have.
I hate this elitist going on online where if you don't design your own sounds than you suck.. Well avicii is making millions and touring the world.. And he uses prests in almost all his productions... He's doing something right
Are you going to criticize bethovens work because he didn't invent cellos? |

the focus and skill in classical music was elsewhere. In dance, the only thing you are adding to the musical canon is production. So it isn't a fair comparison and I think using presets is something producers do because they lack the ability , concern or patience.
And regarding Beethoven, he wrote for the cello in ways others didn't. So even in that regard, he wasn't copying. |

Doesn't matter how he wrote.. He using that instrument. It makes the same sound and he was creatively using it.
A sound is a sound.. Whether you produce the sound or not.. The song is all that matters at the end. Nobody gives a at the end of the day how the sound was constructed. People value the end product. |

what percentage would the cello account for the intellectual weight of his work ?
Sound creation is one of the few things EDM is adding so it is somewhat important for me that an artist is someone that has their own sound.
Some people have low standards. That is your prerogative. I don't' expect you to have the standards I do. But to me, it matters. Hearing productions that use dated presets is just something that bothers me because i care how it sounds. I've the sounds are the same, the track has no purpose. Because that is all EDM is adding. production. |
