I already said I like a lot of electronica I'm just not blind to how easy it is to make it.


"with a program like FruityLoops you can make fairly professional sounding techno with no previous experience or musical knowledge, in a matter of hours"


Exactly. Some might even consider that a good thing.. I don't.

Haha, I love this kind of response. "Well if it's so easy why aren't you doing it? blah blah" In case you couldn't tell from my replies in this thread -- ELECTRONICA BORES ME. I have absolutely no interest in throwing samples together.

Funny thing is, if you give most skilled guitarists a couple days with fruityloops, they'll probably be able to create better music than someone who doesn't know how to play the guitar or any other complex instrument.

Wrong. Many bands are still experimenting with original guitar compositions using off-notes and such. Opeth comes to mind.

You said it all right there. Enjoy your cheap and lazy music.
