Re: Pros & cons of playing an instrument and knowing theory
the more i think about... without the little music theory i know... i would still be writing the same song over and over again... different groove/beat... same chord progression with different instruments/patches... same melody with different instruments/patches... learning music theory may not pay ...

Re: Pros & cons of playing an instrument and knowing theory
To make my point about basic music theory, I was listening to a track by Gaia and they were going through the cycle of 5ths. They clearly understood that simple music concept. They still have to master Ableton and all the different sonic possibilities, but from a song structure point of view, they ...

Re: Pros & cons of playing an instrument and knowing theory
for the record... music was born before music theory... just because one has a computer and music software does not make them a musician... it take talent to be a musician... not everyone has talent... if if was not for the software... most would not be making music... i.e. how many are in the scho...

Re: Pros & cons of playing an instrument and knowing theory
But what people often forget are the not so tangible things, without a clear right and wrong rule book, that are a lot harder to get right and to "learn". Things like rhythms, timing relations, song structure and compositions. These are what make modern dance tracks what they are. Melodie...

Re: Pros & cons of playing an instrument and knowing theory

Re: Pros & cons of playing an instrument and knowing theory
there is a difference between KNOWING music theory and APPLYING music theory... i could teach anyone that there are 7/8 notes in a scale... but what is a scale... how do you play a scale... which chords go with what scales... therefore... the key to KNOWING music theory to knowing how to APPLY music...

also... try "disabling" your wi-fi in the control panel... i believe you are having an IRQ problem... i.e. your usb ports, wi-fi, on-board soundcard, etc are sharing the same IRQ address... think about it... your soundcard plus your on-board soundcard, midi keyboard, maschine, wi-fi, not s...
