This sounds like mixing isn't a work load but it is you have to fade sounds out chose where to place em what parts to use and still make it sound good instead of randomely placed sounds that don't match as well as having a limit on what you can do. In composing you have fredome to use whatever you want wherever you want but a dissadvantage is you can't use computer generated sounds. This can be avoided if you have programs for both. They both can take a long time in both fourms it can take several years to make a good song.

Techno isn't just using random sounds o_O
That is a sub-genre of techno...

Techno is a wide area; about as large as rock (or even bigger) at least in terms of how many variations there are within it (aka sub-genres).

Techno IS Electronica x_x

You just said 1 > 1 in a sense.

No, techno is just some random noise with a beat, sometimes a good one. Electronica on the other hand is experienced sound (True electronica btw) with a beautiful meaning. Daft Punk illustrates this perfectly.

I'm confused at what all you were saying...not flaming but if you are going to speak of music please at least spell instrument correctly. I'm not really sure why you posted this, as again I am kind of confused as well.



-I think you need a better understanding yourself before you try to teach others...Mixing...you are somewhat eh correct. Technically you could break this rule. You can mix without breaking sounds apart. Hell you could just even mix sounds as a whole.
-Composing isnt taking the sounds of the instruments and choosing where to place the notes and whatever else you said. Composing is taking the visual representation of various arragements of notes divided by the whole and placing them on a score which usually in the treble or bass clef--Also known as G and F clef. A score can consist of many different instruments and chairs. For example a trumpet section of 7 might have 3-4 different parts while percussionists could have up to 12 different parts on 12 different scores to 1 composition. Now this is where you could get technical again. You could now compose or arrange a "mix". which there fore would contrict what you said saying they are different while here you could arrange a mix. Then again while you are mixing arent you arranging-which is again composing. Eh tricky huh...



-I have no idea what you are really talking about here because of your sentence structure...If you are referring to mixing...I know plenty of good mix'/remix that use random sounds. Its called Techno? hehe. Anywho sometimes randomly placed sounds conveys the feeling or message that the artist is trying to send through his mix.



-So I'm confused again...you just said in composing you have the freedom to use whatever you want wherever you want but you can't use computer generated sounds? That contridicts what you just said. You can mix and compose with whatever you want. Lets think about this...
-Mixing: Beat Boxing--which wait is a form of composing or arranging just mentally...
-Composing: Broadway's STOMP...they compose just using everyday items but wait according to you those are already made sounds...so thats also mixing right? yeah...You can mix with a regular composing program...


Anywho...Please read up before you try to teach others...=/
