whats your music???

[Ezekiel285]

yea, but still, you could know NOTHING about musical theory (scales, notes, modes, progressions, etc..) and still be able to make electronic music, and mix music...
I don't know if you see where I'm going here

But without music theory it would sound like trash. Most of the good electronic artists know theory. Just because it is on a computer doesn't mean it doesn't follow the same rules and patterns of music everything else does..? Even if they couldn't actually explain theory to somebody they obviously have a grasp on it if they are making good music? I'm can almost positively say that every classic rock artist has not been an expert on music theory, but they are legends are they not?

Edit: I know when i toyed around with creating electronic music, i reached into the little music theory i know to create decent sounding stuff. I don't know why it would be different for anybody else. And i know some music theory and i could NOT create good electronic music, i mean it was decent but i'm not making any money off of it. Haha, if it is as easy as you all say it is then why are you not bringing in the BANK making those good electronic tunes??
