I really don't understand how they can get the two things confused. They even think I scratch records!!!
I'm not just talking about just the totally clueless people, but even some of the raver kids get things confused.
Why is techno production such a dark and confusing art to outsiders??
And another thing is the 'Proper' musicians who look down on what we do seem to think that we just use presets and string them together. Maybe this is because their only experience of electronic music is those awful Yamaha PSR keyboards?
I took a real sceptic into my studio and showed him what I do - Write, Compose, Sequence, Record sounds, Route effects, create original patches, mix and finally master.
His head really spun and I think he gained a new found respect for me.
Anybody else feel this way?? Anybody??? Anyone??

Maybe this is an American phenomenon??? I think people are just so used to Geetars here or something?? I grew up in England watching all the British Eighties bands on TV with their Synths and stuff and kinda got it from an early age.
Whhaaaaaa!!!! Somebody just came to my desk and Asked if the CD I was playing was something I did and motioned with their hand as if they were scratching!! BUM!!!

who was a musician(guitarist) and singer
insulted me by saying that we all are "hiding
behind machines" lol, when I play my synths I
feel naked.
anyways, I broke ties off with him and he
doesnt realize by making that statement that
he plays with technology too like an amp, mic
and electric guitar.
