How good that noone asked for your opinion.

Unless the concept of quoting as a reference to the post you reply to is new to you.

I think he means that all (or most) of the sound design questions are EDM oriented.

Ah... good point.

Gearslutz has many sub forums. The Hip Hop one is fairly mature in nature.

I don't see how the question is unappropriate

I think if I was doing one genre only, I'd still prefer a wider selection of opinions/replies. You can always just listen and observe on Youtube then.

Hear, hear!

It took me a long amount of time to realize this.. the regulars here have typically been older and less appreciative of EDM. Hence, when receiving advice, it (the advice given that is) seemed odd and counter-intuitive to me.. when I was attempting to write in EDM genres! Because no one spoke of their genre production experience.

That is to say, sound/mix/patch advice can be pretty different from the rock and ambient folks to EDM and vice versa. So I find it beneficial often to understand what genres the adviser is interested before taking their advice now. It was a real time waste in the past not realizing this.

Btw not all of us writing EDM are looking to become famous, clones of a famous EDM producer or DJ, or even get rich (but I wouldn't complain if the money came my way

). Some of us really enjoy the music and want to make a positive change.

So where do people who want to get rich and famous doing edm go?

I really don't care how it works so long as there is lots of loot and praise coming my way without having to leave my apartment.

So, let me quote, "Are there any forums like KVR out there that don't cater to EDM noobs?" is in your opinion a fair question to ask?

You missed this: "KVR is mostly technology, but sound design is pretty much all edm."

I would agree with this... KVR is mostly about software tools and people's impressions of those. There really isn't a *dedicate* section for EDM music.

Just want to clarify also, KVR is awesome, i'm not knocking it.

GS is the least EDM.

There isn't a dedicated section for any style. Electronic music transcends specific genres. And for the record, never in my life did I ask the question "how do I make synthpop" or "how do I get distorted industrial drums" or "how do I slice an Amen break" or "how can I sound like Boards of Canada". If there is any anti-EDM sentiment to be found here, it had more to do with laziness.

What about the 'tarnce' mocking and nonsense?

deastman · Post by **deastman** » Sun Jun 08, 2014 5:59 am

There will always be a contingent who feels the need to mock the latest style. Pop music is about following fashion trends as much as anything else, and fashion is always a prime target for mockery. There were those who mocked trance, DnB, glitch, dubstep, mainstream EDM, and any other recent style you can think of. But an equal number of KVR members joined when each of those styles were in vogue. I like to think that we offer something for everyone. I certainly see tons of questions about how to sound like this or that EDM artist, so there must be plenty of people here who like it.

LimboLoves · Post by **LimboLoves** » Sun Jun 08, 2014 6:08 am

I'm not gonna get into current EDM and it's trends. Mainly because I am passionately against them. I'm not saying they are worthless and don't deserve the space.

I just wanted to know if there were any websites where EDM wasn't as popular as most of them seem to be. Thanks for those who answered on topic.

Is KVR the forum that's the least EDM out there?
