No no you clearly don't get the question which, answers it. You don't
understand what making music involves and yes that definitely DOES make a
difference in your quality of feedback.

No you clearly don't because, you mAade the next statement.

Sorry no. When you open your mouth to criticize you do not communicate by
dancing. More importantly if you want something you have to communicate it
properly.

You're kidding right? Spinning a CD is NOT making music. I happen to DJ and
I'll tell you I am better than any average DJ because, I have an
understanding of music. SO DJs are only an example of regurgitation. Yes
they fill a service and have value but, they're not a guide to making music.
Then you ask it can't be that hard? Again you're displaying your ignorance
about music making and arranging when you make a statement like that.
