TO ALL YOU WANNABEE PRODUCERS:
Please create your OWN sounds, get your OWN synths, your OWN sequencer and daw, your OWN style and your OWN creative mind. By constantly asking this forum how to make a Datsik/Rusko/Bar9/Reso whatever the fuck sound, you are NOT growing as a musician!!
If you REALLY want to achieve something in music you need to be creative. I'm not saying i'm all that but at least i try to be creative.
The reason i'm never on this forum anymore is because of all the little wining shitheads asking how to make a certain sound.
FUCK OFF!!
So, thats it. Have a nice day.
No offense but you're wrong. This isn't my opinion, it's a fact. You are wrong. On pretty much every point.
1., Deconstructing or learning to make somebody else's sounds is a great way to learn, we do it when learning any instrument, why should production be any different? When you learn to play guitar you usually learn other people's songs before you can write your own, when you learn to play piano or violin or any instrument really you do the same thing. If it wasn't for pendulum I wouldn't know how to make a reese, if it wasn't for datsik I wouldn't know how to make a wobble, if it wasn't for 90s movie soundtracks I wouldn't know how to craft a song structurally. If it wasn't for the beatles I wouldn't know how to craft a song in terms of harmonic content and movement. If it wasn't for current value and loki I wouldn't know the first thing about how to process drums or how to make a dirty stab and if it wasn't for Chase and Status' Eastern Jam I wouldn't have used arabic vocals in my last tune. I could go on and on like this, but the point is learning from the people you listen to isn't a sign that the end result of how you use that knowledge will be uncreative and it would make you a fool to assume that it would.
2., Your own style is nothing more than a big melting pot of all your own musical influences combined into one rounded set of musical inclinations that you will use to express your experiences, thoughts, views or feelings. You cannot remain objective and unbiased towards the inclinations of other artists. It's impossible.
3., You can be just as creative by emulating your heroes as you could by sitting in a dark room listening to static and writing without musical influences as the elitists would like to see you do. You can have the best sounds in the world like all your favorite producers and still make a track that sounds like a piece of rancid shit because creativity is more about how you craft a tune from a musical point of view. Sure you can be creative with how you actually make your sounds, but this creativity comes second to crafting a piece of art that is melodically and harmonically inclined towards drawing its listener in and taking them on a journey. And if you want to craft original and creative bass sounds or pads the only way to do that is to learn how to make them in the first place. Why take a hit and miss approach when you can learn the foundations and the basics then do things differently?
4., I doubt anybody cares if your not on this forum anymore given your abrasive and rude nature.
Have a nice day.
PS. I've nothing against you personally - just everything you believe.
get over yourself OP, your tunes are as bait as anyone elses on here.
