I also completely disagree with C. Mckay. I have played the guitar and piano for about twenty years now. I can also play some bass and a little drums. When I was a kid, before learning to play the guitar, I could hear certain musicians play, like Hendrix or Zappa, and I could tell to an extent that they knew how to play the guitar. It wasn't until I began learning the guitar that I truly appreciated what Hendrix, Zappa and so many others were actually doing. The same has happened for me with electronic music. I too, like Christopher Mckay, use to assume that these deejays and electronic artist's had it easy because they just use other people's music. Then, I began to learn how they did it. How they produced their music, how they master it and how they perform it. I am still learning and I can tell you, Christopher Mckay, it is just as much of an art as playing the guitar, piano, bass, drums, flute or any other instrument you can think of (just speaking from my experience). So, Mr. Mckay, I challenge you to go out and learn to produce, master and perform some electronic and sampled music (that sounds good and is actually entertaining) and come back and tell us that it was easy. I'm pretty sure you will find it to be quite the opposite. But, "if you're not capable, then don't do it". Isn't that what you said Mckay.   See 3 other replies
