i care about music, electronic whatever genre you want to use or if you want to use the dreaded edm tag is not really my first choice, i am a metal/postgrunge fan that has become a fan of electronic music over the years from listening to my cousins music such as the prodigy, roni size, bt asian dub foundation,, the presets flume etc. my problem is that im keen to add to my repertoire and make electronic music, but not too sound up myself, i care how a song is written, recorded, produced and if i had the money none of my softawre would be free, id by myself a bunch of good hardware such as some good analog compressors, would infuse electronic music with some live instrumentation (i reckon an elctronic beat with emotive slide guitar over the top would be sick). i dont have the money for any of that and am slowly over two years grasping the fundamentals of electronic music production but am still a way off. my problem is now so many people who are getting into production for the lifestyle and not doing it for the love of the craft of music. i refer to the bros an hoes who see all the generic "stars" out there such as guetta, afrojack, will sparks martin garrix, then go out and buy traktor then claim to be a dj/producer. the main problem i have is ive seen a few of these types of people leapfrog me and have managed to score some pretty good gigs, without seeming to care. like i see a few videos of friends of friends and acquaintaces show videos of them prepping for gigs by mashing two songs together while sitting on the verandah or in the car without seemingly listening to the song with good monitoring hardware (laptop speakers). i dont know im just really frustrated with my lack of progress despite how much time and effort ive invested. i dont want to be a generic button pusher, id love to bring live instrumentation into like disclosure and the prodigy do, its just watching other people who dont seem to care as much rise to the top over you is frustrating
