RE: When Does a DJ Become a Musician?
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
I don't know too much about DJ culture and do not hang around in clubs, but I have seen some of it in action. Mixing existing tracks to get something new is a skill, but it may be different to making music from scratch on an instrument. If you just want to get a crowd moving, then it may be easier to rely on beats that you know will work. I may be old-fashioned in my tastes, but then I like to see skilled musicians in action and can aspire to creating something fresh myself. I may never master the drums, but I am making progress considering that I started late.

Steve. I think some musicians are lacking of being able to make music in a modern way ( using Loops, samples, FX), remixing their own beats. So a DJ/producer is a good add for a band looking for new sounds.
Some DJs ( Mark Ronson ) they are amazing producers because they have a different imagination and shape songs in a different way.
