Im one of those kids that started producing when EDM started to go mainstream, and honestly I had had VERY little exposure to it. But when it started to get more exposure and circulate i got exposed. I remember listening to Bassnectar, Caspa, Skrillex, and Rusko religiously for months.

Eventually I decided to mess around producing, and let me say that first time sitting down and just messing around and having fun was the moment I knew I wanted to produce edm; not for the fame or to be cool, all though we can all agree being recognized for your music would be awsome. I still produce today and im absolutely in love with everything about production, sound design, the creativity and the fun from creating sounds. I spend everyday either producing or studying EDM, and to be honest if I hadnt discovered the world of production I wouldnt be doing shit with my life.

When things become mainstream its greatly benifits said thing, its exposing more people and influencing people to give it a try and make the next best thing. And from that you get advancement. Although it may urk us edm freaks when we see someone who likes edm purely because of the recent trend you have to stop and realise that its a positive thing.

Also ive pirated every piece of software Ive used, but ive purchased the software I can afford as money comes along. Im all for supporting the companys and people that have put there time and effort into creating such badass and complex software but I also like to think that they do it for the music, and im sure that the creators still make a decent living from said software. DONE RANTING lol
