Yeah I agree with this. However it goes two ways...

Just because people work hard or have spent years saving up for the gear doesn't mean they automatically have creative musical ability. Luckily for most, techno is pretty easy to do. ;)

What is killing the industry isn't being able to knock up any old tune in whatever gear or software, thats just the tool. What IS killing the industry is dj's trying to be musicians/producers and ****ing it all up by releasing tons of trash and flooding the market just cus they want to make it big.

Whats killing the industry is also the fact that it IS an "industry".

Let the dj's do the dj'ing and the creative minds do the music. Just because someone can beatmatch doesn't give them the golden key to be a shit hot musician/producer.

Ego check please.
