Too much influence?

[DannyBlack]

i absolutely agree dude. but i have to stick to my origional post on this, unless you are one of the get rich quick slags (best of euphoria etc etc) and just out and out copy whats popular at the time then it isnt possible to become over influenced.
you look up to your idols, you become inspired by what they do and you develope your own sound.
Granted you do the odd remix here and there but thats more a homage to the particular artist.

yeah but its just not that easy to develop your own sound straight off the mark, everyone needs a starting point, my point being, when does the starting point become the finish line? when does a person make the transistion (boom boom) into their own sound, if at all? How have people gone about this, conciously or subconciously?

nevermind anyway im obviously talking out of my arse :whoops:

no, no, no sorry mate, i get you! right it was me, i missed the point. you see im only really just starting out production wise so im not sure what is the cut off point and if indeed i do have a similar sound to anyone else.

i do record obscure sounds and polish em up. and i know that i read an article once that aphex twin guy (cant think of his name) puts microphones in blenders- recording the strange crushing sounds, this had me intregued so thats why i record EVERYTHING that makes a sound.

but like i said im only relatively new to all this, so i dont know what the cut off point is.

eureka, that's what im saying mate! where is the point that people cut off? or have people even realised where that point is, where they break ouf of the cocoon as it were and into their own sound? or to the extreme, is anyone knowingly at that point but having trouble getting over it?

sounds to me your going the right way and being original, and im not being condascending here at all just because ive had a few releases incase that's how anyone is viewing this, because im learning every single day and i will be learning until the day i join the great big studio up in the sky
