- well,
- electronic music has "stages" that it has to be made in...orbital is
- no exception...
- usually always first comes the drum programming. this can be done with
- sound programs on the comp, samples from actual drums, or programming
- a drum machine...either way it takes some work and patience to get the
- beat exactly right.
- usually next comes the rest of the compositional rhythm. cymbals,
- rhythm guitar, certain electronical noises, etc. these all usually
- have to be mixed on the table, and then looped when they sound
- right...composing is a LOT harder than it looks.
- after the rhythm is mixed in with the drum programming, next comes
- lyrics (if any) which will also be mixed in...
- usually when these "electronic sound" bands play live they have
- several comps set up with the samples programmed in...then, to
- perform, they have huge mixing tables that they use to mix the music
- right before your eyes....the music never sounds the same twice in
- such ways...unless they make NO mistakes and do it at PERFECT levels,
- exactly where they recorded it.
- tell your friend that electronic music is an art which takes great
- levels of composition and expertise in the areas of electronics and
- recording/mixing, and if he knew anything about music, hed know that
- too... it is one thing to pick up a guitar and hit a few power chords
- and have someone on bass and drums, it is another thing to sample a
- bunch of sounds from everyday life and put them together to make a
- song which is composed well and makes you say, "Man, this kicks ass!".
- if your friend knew anything about music, hed know that too...
