BS. I know nothing of music "theory" and my creations could pass for something Moby or other artists composed. The best part is, I did all of it with basic software and extremely limited knowledge of its functionality. Granted, it was mostly for electronic music, but if I took the time to learn a real synthesizer program, I could make some crazy shit. Then again, I'm lazy... carry on.
I use Acid/Reason/Fl studio to make electronic music and i can make some good stuff but i dont write it. Writing/composing is alot harder then making something on those programs, cause you really dont write it you just make it.
Do you follow?
yep, that's one of the largest misconseptions about music. It has to be correct on paper in order to get money out of it. If you don't know what the hell kind of range a bari sax has or how you transcribe it, you'll never get further than naming your piece.
There is, supprisingly, alot more to music than just the final sound product.
