They're not musicians, but composers. They are different. Musicians play music. Composers make it.

This.

Even the most retarded "bruh I make dubstep n trap beatzzzz" laptop-EDM bro still needs a minimum of understanding of music theory for it to not sound shit.


Someone like Deadmau5 who is one of the biggest electronic music producers is always acknowledging the fact that he's not a musician and he wishes he could play his melodies and rhythms out on a keyboard and drums instead of having to "draw" them.

Midi sequencing is pretty cool and efficient though a little bit more like fine-tuned arithmetic type of composing

Yup, and also having the know-how of using FL Studio or some other DAW as well as several plugins is fairly advanced.

It's much more visual and logic-based than someone who can just play a tune by ear.

Neither the musician or composer/producer are better or worse than the other, it's just two different approaches.

To be totally autistic, they may or may not be composers.

Ask the average EDM laptop kid to write his song out on sheet music and he'll stare at you like you've asked him something in Latin.

But on the other hand, all those kids who do make their own music on a laptop and are successful also tend to wear different hats - they're almost always the producer AND the composer AND the audio engineer and everything else involved in making a song.
