Which automatically means EVERYTHING MUST be played on a guitar right???
And I am positive that there was music before the guitar was invented.. I am absolutely sure of this... so all you guitarists should go out an buy a violin right?? What I am getting at is music evolves, just cos something sounds like a guitar riff, or follows the same notation as something Jimmy Page once played like 20 odd years ago isn't a cue for all the worlds guitarists to jump on their high horses and start issuing lectures on the origins of music, cos contrary to what you guys believe guitarists DID NOT invent music and we ALL have the right to create our own interpretations... @ Buzzfreak, I am on a very old P.C and it is having difficulty opening your tracks on Acid planet , will try again in a bit.

I don't really like techno, let alone "acid techno" (???), so this really wasn't my slice of pie. My suggestion is spend some money on a fancier mixing software, one that sounds cleaner, more professional, more accurate, and is just plain better than using MIDI files. I don't really know what I'm talking about, but I have a free program that I could do the same exact thing with if you give me a few hours.

this post only serves to make you look ignorant. Electronica may not be respected by you, but clubbers everywhere beg to differ. Good Electronica, despite what you say, does take alot of time, effort and certain skills to produce something of a good quality. I'm not a major fan of Electronica, I don't spend my time listening to it, but that doesn't mean I dismiss it as a talentless genre. You need to be less narrow-minded. Buzzfreak- I agree with what Pal said... its a good start and you should look into a more sophisticated software in order to refine the sound. Sounds good though

Mate, I have no grudge towards guitar players or any musician with an ounce of talent, regardless of their chosen discipline, my "anti" guitarist statement was just a reaction to this unbelievably ignorant comment.... Quote:
You obviously did not understand me correctly, and I was only using Jimmy Page as an example because a lot of people look up to him, myself included, I worship Led Zep, probably why he was the first person to spring to mind. I just do not like that comment made by sandman because it implies that unless you play guitar then you are a pathetic waste of time and do not deserve the name musician, which is utter bollocks! Pal, I am not having a go at you but please read the full thread then you would understand my reaction in the correct context instead of accusing me of stereotyping guitarists, which I absolutely did not intend to do. (care to elaborate?). Quote:
I don't understand how you think guitarists believe they invented music Quote:
Again, I don't actually belive all guitarists think they invented music, just another reaction to an ignorant comment coming from someone with dubious knowledge of true electronica... I honestly do not understand why these silly, misinformed comments irritate me so much, and apologies if my generalisation offends you, but if its ok for anti electro people to be ignorant towards my type of music then they are gonna get it right back, childish I know but hey... |

Err, I do, it interests me, I like to know the origins of things you know instead of being totally ignorant to the world I have been born into. Guitars are nice sounding but IMO are old hat and pretty much impossible to create anything original on which is why a lot of people make electronica. Not everyone has the time and money to buy and learn how to play a guitar, and contrary to your misinformed little head, not everyone in the world shares your taste in music. If you think electronica is so easy to create, then go ahead, knock me out big man, make me a track and prepare to be slated! Quote:
Some recommendations - Matthew Dear, John Tejada, Aphex Twin, Autechre, Kenny Larkin to name but a few, you may not personally like them but if you say that this music is talentless, then you have no clue about what goes into producing music. |

I respect the hell out of good electronica. I'd even venture to say that guys like Simon Posford have more overall musical prowess than most of today's guitarists. Hell, maybe I just think that music should be a physical extension of your soul. I have a hard time finding that kind of vibe from electronica. With piano, guitar, etc, there's a physical element; you need to train your muscles and hands just to be able to play. Electronica (again, for the most part) is a point and click learning process. And god damnit a live show with a band has way more energy than some guys with a couple laptops churning out samples. A DJ could go take a piss while playing a show and nobody would notice he was gone.

Yes but guitar playing is also just a learning process, everyone and their mother can pick up a guitar and churn out some average chords, might not sound very good, bit like your average electronica.
All forms of music have good and bad elements, its up to people to decide what they like and dislike, but because you dislike summat doesnt give you the right to tell people who do that their music is basic and crappy, that is very insulting to people who take it seriously. |

see i dont think that computer generated music is talentless, but its a different kind of tallent than playing an instrument
it doesnt require anywhere near as much musical talent as playing a guitar would with a program like FruityLoops you can make fairly professional sounding techno with no previous experience or musical knowledge, in a matter of hours i dont know about you, but i couldnt just pick up a guitar and instantly start playing songs, let alone making new ones ...that takes years of practice |

Ok sorry about the jimmy page comment, he was the first person to pop into my head, I was listening to Led Zep 3 at the time!!!
I know being a good guitarist takes years of practice, but so does being a good Dj or a good techno producer, techno is a simpler form of music, part of its attraction in my opinion. Like I said, anyone can make AVERAGE electro in FL, anyone can churn out AVERAGE chords on a guitar, it aint that hard to do the basics of any form of music given a little practice, but it takes dedication to get anywhere with anything. Listen to a dj mix by Terence Parker and tell me anyone can get on decks and do the same, or listen to 'My Red Hot Car' by Squarepusher and tell me you could do better in Fruity given a couple of hours, shit just dont work like that.. |

its all about getting what you hear in your head onto record. who the fuck gives a shit what medium you use? would axis:bold as love be any worse if jimi had went through and done all the guitar and bass and shit on MIDI? no, a song is a song, a note is a note. Everything else is just icing.

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. Quote:

You cannot compare the two. Apples and oranges. Just as you have crappy electronica, there's also incredibly talented artists like Richard D. James (Aphex Twin), DnTel, Air, etc..
Good Charlotte uses guitars and they suck ass. Case closed. edit - Oh, and so does Opeth, typical Crapcore. Ironic that you use them to justify your idea of 'talented' music.

^word.
As a clubber i've learned to actually enjoy good techno/electronica. Great dance music. But i have a respect for DJ's that comes from a hip-hop influenced background. Anyone who dosent give other music a chance is only limiting their understanding of music. They have generally found something they like and won't be bothered to listen to anything but their guitar riffs or phat beats or bumpin techno. There's room for all of it. why be a douche bag over something so trivial?
