PopD / Bongo - chill.
This thread was moving great until your battle.
Agree to disagree and let's move foreward.
Up until that I WAS going to say (and now still will):
Very cool, finally a thread where people are talking like adults even within a normally waring thread topic of "clashing" genres.
Every other thread you see about Trance vs DnB vs House... seems to be just that, "versus".
I think this place is growing up a bit, very refreshing.
THIS is a constructive genre thread. Makes me proud.
Right, well I've been spinning DnB for about five years and just recently have been contemplating producing (via reason/pro tools). Obviously there's a slight bias, but (and here it is) I must admit that I have some trance roots and love its atmospheric nature, especially when the beats are broken up a bit. To me, atmospheric dnb with a little edge to it is the happy medium and is what will save this world
.
I've had the oportunity to get my hands on some trance tracks from time to time at home and can say that I personally find no chanllenge in it, but that means nothing really if you think about it. The challenge is to recreate and re-evolve a sound live in the mix no matter what genre you play out, and I'll be the first to admit that there's plenty of room for that in trance. Maybe more than any other genre, in fact, because you've got more time/potential, and a more forgiving structure for tricks than with breaks.
Overall I'd have to say that atmospheric dnb is a serious chanllenge to produce thus far. I have a few friends who've dinked around with some trance tracks and occasionally use them as a comparison and from my current standpoint I'd say that dnb is the more difficult, specifically, again, atmospheric. I think the main reason is the organic nature to the sound. This is SO difficult to just synthesize with some machine, no matter how advanced. But I have to say it's another aspect that attracts me toward dnb alltogether: the carbon-life/human elements of sounds in the genre make a beautiful circle to me and end up the winner every time. Funk, Soul, R&B, Jazz, you find it all and can use it all in the broken up syncopated rhythms of dnb.
Throw in a little voice or voice synths, some atmospheric/futuristic sounds, some live flutes and upright bass - and you're home. Perfect balance.
But remember this:
Where would atmospheric dnb be today without its synthesizer roots from late techno and european trance?
Explore it all, man. Live life within all the music you can.
