mastering and pressing are not going to filter anything. those guys don't care as long as they get paid.Android wrote: vinyl has multiple levels of filters, artist > label > mastering > pressing > distribution > record shop > DJ
which should weed out some mediocre tracks in most cases

another interesting trend according to me is that the audience doesn't seem to care at all. There used to be a strong public opinion about electronic music in terms of how the music is brought to the audience. THE argument against it was that it was made beforehand and not brought with real intruments, therefore one should not accept it as any true form of music, blabla...Within the edm scene, I would expect the audience also to form these kind of opinions, with the love or hate towards the fact that via ableton one does not have to have any beatmatching skills (note that for many listeners, the beatmatching skill is still the thing what makes DJ'ing difficult), but I only hear this discussion between the DJ's, not within the the 'listening community'. I think this is pretty sad and it shows that many people are just there for the energy and cheap thrills, without thinking about how it's done...
