Time_Trap Posted November 14, 2005 Share Posted November 14, 2005 Well, it depends what kind of music an artist want to make, but in general, producers need all of the mentioned...Musical skills you need to have so you can make melodies, harmonies, arrangements, imagination you need if you want to make story or concept and good production you need to have if you want to make soundscapes, mental images, sonic manipulations...but if you want all in one, perfectly constructed and combined album, you need to have all three... 381427[/snapback] nice said they are all co-dependent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phobium Posted November 14, 2005 Share Posted November 14, 2005 No Cocaine option? 379918[/snapback] I was wondering about the same thing myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reger Posted November 14, 2005 Share Posted November 14, 2005 the most important thing for a REAL psytrance producer is to chat once with Simon Posford, because he knows how to build atmosphere in his tracks not like other artists i don´t called names of it only put 4 synths together and think that is psytrance. Simon really should open a Simon Posford music school in that all other psytrance artists can go and learn how to make it right becuase they are so unexperienced and always fall, but with simon´s help and a bit thinking they will be great. Or he should release a getting started book to teach other psytrance artists how to program their synths because the others don´t get it. 379890[/snapback] indeed, stop this childish worshipping .

traveller Posted November 14, 2005 Share Posted November 14, 2005 indeed, stop this childish worshipping . 381732[/snapback] nah the man is talking business however he fails to see that there are a few others who also know how.. A lesson or 2 from SPosford wouldn't hurt any artist in this scene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mugge Posted November 14, 2005 Share Posted November 14, 2005 I would vote for "other". There ar things that are much more important these days: Good looks, hot clothes and a big collection of fresh progressive shit or boooooring full on to get "inspiration" from are the most important things to make your way to the stars. Some other usefull things are: * A nose that you can turn white in a bag full of "good" coke so you know that you're one of the "coool" dudes. * A nose that you can turn really brown in some "labelmanager" or clubowners big fat. ass. * A really bad attitude (If you don't have it, take it easy, that comes with the blow). towards the people that goes to the party. A good way to show this is: - Don't smile to anyone, thats not cool... - Wear sunglasses, it's a good way to avoid eyecontact with the audience. - If you play at a party don't talk to anyone, unless he is "cooler" than you, then offer them some of your coke, they might sign some of your new "cool" full on trax. * To know a couple of the "cool" DJs that are spinning the hottest "full on" tunes. * Make sure that you have the lastest hardware, software, plugs... its not necessery to know how to use (or not to use ) them , just make sure that you have a good kick and a fat bassline. * If you don't have that fat bassline and that kick (that sounds like all the other kicks), take a pill, it's be much better that way, if it's not good enough, take one more. * Make sure you can do some serious namedropping, underground stuff like Asterix, IM and GMS are always useful know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But anyway, if I'm gonna be a REAL psytrance producer, then I'll go to posford's. not. Musical skills are most important, you don't do a sh1t with others if you haven't got the skills. But of course Mugge is ultimately right, no point of arguing here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
