Everyone’s too busy stroking their ego. The amount of times I’ve heard, BUT THAT’S YOUR OPINION on this forum, is enough to make you sick.

i really didn't mean to be offensive to anyone here. i just wanted to bring forth the idea that there are no boundaries, or "should's/ should not's", as i said earlier. sure there are good guidelines out there and they are important to understand then see their limitations and attempt to push their boundaries. these are just my opinions not statements of fact.

make music, not war

anyway, i don`t think this kind of discussions are useless. A lot of new producers out there learn a lot of tips and tricks trough this kind of discussions. As long as nobody uses it as a 'how to make housemusic for dummy`s' i think this kind of discussions are pretty good.

i agree with Torque about making the best track you`ve ever heard, and asking help if you need it. I just want to add to that: Let your sound be heard and learn from the critics(as long as they are reasonable and friendly), because i think there is a pretty great amount of guys/girls out there who doesn`t dare to let there music be heard and that could be a waste of talent or even inovation.

A question: maybe because my translation is no good of the tips Torque gave, but what do you ment by: Always build a track into your transition.
I think i translate/understand the word transition different, but maybe Torque (or someone else) could explain it to me.

if i should give a final tip( and i know torque also said it)
listen AND ANALYZE to all different kinds of music, not to duplicate it but to understand how its made, and how you can use these technique`s for your own. So listen to not just minimal, or even housemusic, but also try some funk, or jazz(old and new) or whatever your up too. For example i learned a lot of things about interaction between melody and rythem by listening to funk played by african groups, and i use this knowledge in my housemusic.

keep on rocking! and sorry for my terrible spelling and grammar

i couldn't agree more with that tip. i have done that since i was a kid. sitting in front of the record player at my fathers house for entire days. analyzing the songs.
