Re: Who's a Dj/electro music producer here on GLP?
If you're a dj, that proves you're too lazy to learn an instrument.


Dj's-destroying music since the mid 80's.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 43118154


you're out of the fucking loop and are probably 60+ years old




oh and btw skrillex sucks, check out Flying Lotus
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 44264682


Hardly, I'm 36, with a fuckin brain. You lazy piece of shit.

That's a computer, not you!

Go buy a drum kit and learn to play the drums if you want to "make a beat"!

Today's music doesn't hold a candle to the music of yesterday's past

Damn, you're stupid and lazy.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 43118154


Sorry you are wrong! I am a professional electronic music producer and a computer is an instrument.

What you are saying is tantamount to saying to a drummer,"Thats the Drums not you". Or to Mozart "That's an orchestra not you"

Wake up mate, you are making youself sound silly.

Re: Who's a Dj/electro music producer here on GLP?

I want to learn how to produce music like Skrillex, Skream, deadmou5 and all that. do you have any tips on how about to start learning? should i just buy a software and use it on my laptop? are there any tutorial videos I can buy to learn my way to become pro? what are my options?

thanks

Re: Who's a Dj/electro music producer here on GLP?
yea cause you know how to play a guitar, you strum the strings and press the fretboard, and im sure you know that to play a piano or keyboard you press down on the keys.
But your actual playing ability sucks because all Djs revert to Dj'ing because of their lack of talent at real playing.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 44485860


don't be ridiculous....I can play all types of Heavy Metal songs on the electric Guitar. I can play Led Zeppelin as well. But I'm not very good on the keyboard since i just started learning 6 months ago.

however, I always loved to learn how to produce electro music since i'm in love with house/dubstep music

I don't think that you don't need the latest tech'; Ableton's expensive, Logic's plenty ( and cheaper !). Reason's pretty good for all sorts, if pricey, it has an exhaustive set of machines that mimic closely the many types of synths and drum machines (and the way that they connect) that can be found in the electro producer's armoury- pattern sequencers, 303s,808s, 909s. 'Thor' for dubsteppy things, outboard etc etc. The latest version now transmits midi too, so you can link it up to whatever old tech the fashionistas are (probably temporarily;) abandoning for cheap.
There are alternatives; Korg's just made a cheap little trio of electro 'tr' type

I'm a professional music producer and songwriter in many genres but focus mainly on electronic music. I use Cubase.

But I will not tell who I am nor give any details.

I can just tell you this. If you wanna become like Skrillex you have to learn how to create/modify synth sounds. He uses "Massiv" as a synth and plays with the sounds. YouTube how to do it properly. It's hard but if you learn how then it becomes easier.

Other than that it takes you years to become professional cause you also want to mix your songs properly so you have to learn what mixing is.

Dj-ing is definitely the easier thing to do cause all you have to know is taste and how to learn the mix of finished songs. Buy a good turntable from either Pioneer or native instruments and start right away with it. Don't buy cheap turntables for beginners, doesn't matter if you're a beginner or a pro. YouTube also how to Dj properly. Learn from other djs.

Both brands I mentioned have great digital mixers for around 700 euros.

Re: Who's a Dj/electro music producer here on GLP?

this is for who said skrillex sucks, he is a true musician, can play multiple instruments as well as sings very well, he composes with the best of them, his sound design skills are up there with the best of th best.

he produced his grammy winning remix on a blown out speaker

if you dont like his music thats one thing but hes far from sucking hes a very talented musician

and i been producing music since late 2011, started teaching myself piano december 2009 done online training through dubspot and berkley, working on oursuing a bachelor of science degree in audio in the near future and work at improving my knowledge and skills everyday, its alot of work and requires dedication and p assion, its easy to discourage when you sit to write a complete track from start to finish, i rcommend all new producers to buy ableton live and a simple 37 - 49 midi controller when your first starting out you dont need alot of fancy stuff when you first start out master your daw and vsts then move on, dont buy stuff thinking it will make you better, look up this youtube video ill gates methodolgy chapter 1 he will teach you work flow and how to complete songs, i can start and finish a song in 12 hrs most of the time

I can see where your coming from and the guy should learn at least one instrument well, but things have changed and i for one have had to change with the music scene.

I am an Electronic music composer mainly using Cubase and my other half is an extreme drummer ranked in the top worlds top 12 with a lot of practice hours under his belt, we do clash over this situation ie Musicianship over computer generated music.

But it is the end product that counts if it sounds good, creative and original then go with what ever means you can to produce sounds, even if you have to record your own sounds, be creative and go for it.

Try combining music for three hours, without practicing, without autosyncing, AND fitting you audience. No Itunes playlist program can sense what to play for human ears. Try what honest DJs do and then call them lazy and talentless. It merely takes a different talent.

Re: Who's a Dj/electro music producer here on GLP?
Eventually...

The music you wish to produce will just require connecting a TRS cable to your surgically implanted brain port outlet (or something similar).

Then all the high tech equipment will become obsolete. I've tried a decent amount of it out on the market and gave up. The stuff is still too technical to get any real short term satisfaction. These machines and programs consume massive amounts of time to get anything produced (from buying it to learning it, to mastering it).

I gave up and am just waiting for the day that I can skip that step.

It will happen.
MSM reporting that deaf people can now hear sounds.
[link to www.youtube.com]

How much different does it have to be to turn that tech around to allow humans to emit sound from their brain?

In other words... if you don't have the time to learn these systems on the market. You're probably wasting your time and money. They all claim they are simple to learn. But when it comes to transferring your thoughts into these programs you will be highly disappointed if you think it will happen over night.

Just my 2 cents.
