I don't really think that is a valid comparison. There is at least some element of skill and individuality to a DJ set, whereas the analogies you have provided do not really contain any individuality or creativity. |
Exactly creativity... What do you think producing is about? |

it's more than that though. The DJ needs to be able to entertain, have charisma, and select tracks based on the mood of the night or what direction they want to take the crowd in.

Thats the fun part :) |

If you want to hit it big you have to produce. Noone's gonna tour someone that just plays records anymore unless they own one of the big promotion organisations or are somehow connected to people who matter. As far as difficulty goes, it's much harder to produce a good track than play a good set imo.
Produce (hard work) -> DJ (the fun part as escee said) |

onion, i know your a producer so your missing my point a little in what i said. To use your analogy a dj is more like an "artist" who takes from the "paintings" of the orinal "artist" and makes something unique out of it, when done properly.
Im not taking anything away from producers,i have just started myself and know how incredibly difficult it is.
My point was that to many "good producers", make " dj's"
yet they get booked becuase they have some well known tracks.
eddie halliwell absolutely rocked it here last year.... top 20 in the world never having produced a tune, he is an example of what im saying.
The producers who try to dumb djing down to "it's just beat matching" are the ones that generally suck the most.
as i said, this is general comment, there will always be exceptions. |

I understand what you are saying... but there arent enough djs who are creative with their sets... and the creativity aspect doesnt even come close to writing your own music. I will say this though - in a few years time there will be a load of wannabe pro producers the way there is an abbundance of DJs... There are heaps of preset boys who write a track who seriously have absolute all idea of what they are doing... They release a track on a ty label and think they pwn... so in essence there are different levels of djing & producing...
What I'm saying is the two dont compare... I would prefer to be a good producer... than a good dj any day... I have more respect for a guy who writes cream music... than a guy who has cream music in his crate. |
