Please dont confuse production with DJing. I enjoy both, but they are both very different beasts to master.
Yeah, but they build off each other.
An EDM producer with no idea what works in clubs is going to have a hard time building tracks that work.
A DJ without some tracks to his name is going to have a hard time finding work.
DJing and Production have been entwined since House started.
I agree 100%. I was just trying to differentiate the two. being a DJ does not make you a producer, and being a producer does not mean you’re a good DJ.
but having knowledge of both will make you better at both.
thing you need to make good music in the digital age…
- DAW (ableton is good)
- headphones (don’t get cheap in ears)
- creativity
you don’t need much at all… just practice and have fun… buy gear as you see fit
i jsut purchased KRK Rokit 6’s yesterday, thats a start, dont no what to get next
so now i have ableton suite 8
krk monitors
(:
see if you can acquire a used midi controller… m-audio, akia, cme, novation etc…
midi controller like what? (:
keyboard? sampler? etc
keyboard or dj controller depending on your producing style. don’t invest to much money because you might not like it.
