You said , very clearly, to listen to other people's tracks and *copy them*. From *their* drum programming, to *their* track structure, to *their* sounds.

Y'know this probably is good advice in some ways, but not the kind of advice anyone who wants to stand out or make original music, should be taking.
I really don't know what stage you think Jay is at? I mean we could talk about personal taste all day but his productions are quality. Imo. An i am sure many will agree.

Regarding the 'copying' issue. It's tried and tested and people have been successfully doing so forever. And not only in music. Learn the rules before you break them etc. I will stop here.
