I come from DJing, before moving to music production (like most people nowadays). And yes there are some really talented guy out here. Still, to me, the dedication, passion and talent needed to produce music outweights what's needed to DJ by far.

And given that 90% of the population thinks a DJ is "making music" live, I think it's great to clarify, classify and differenciate people between the bros with the serato gaze and beats by Dre from the producers working hard just by passion, without expecting anything back.
Anyway, this rageful rant is way off topic.
Lol fuck off

Neither is just one thing, they are sets of skills. Some skills overlap and others do not. Writing a song isnt about how difficult it was to accomplish and djing isnt about 'real DJs beatmatch' do what you love and stop worrying. I know its the internet but just stop worrying, its not a leaderboard for a videogame, make what you want DJ how you want and let the chips fall.

Turntablism and DJing are different things.

Most groundbreaking edm tunes were made in like 2 hours
Just b/c spazzes get caught up on making a snare for 6 weeks doesnt make production more difficult than djing or v versa

You are probably right, the initial idea and a rough writing of the track can be done in 2 hours if everything flows together.
But producing a decent sounding track from A to Z in 2 hours ? Well, I doubt it. Examples ?

Driving a formula 1 is clearly harder than, i don't know, cooking pasta, and you don't need formula 1 and cooking to be related. Anyway, you won't change my mind, and I probably won't change yours either.
