The physics is the same as it has always been. Ok so if this piece was done using this method, and then you went and got the different parts replaced by players, and then had them perform it onstage in front of an audience, does it all of a sudden become real music? It's all music theory. I show vocal scales to vocalists this way by ear. I quite often play simple parts on the keyboard by ear. So if I composed a piece using loops, and or midi. I am talking directly to those who subscribe to ' that ain't real music' thinking. I suppose it is human nature to have some sort of pecking order amongst musicians, but it is not helpful. Of course I believe it is a good thing to study some theory, but I also believe using the likes of Scaler can teach some theory.

We have people who use software and no theory is involved?Д¬lick to expand.And it is hard to believe a person could use this and not have some theory rub off on them. Be true to yourself and don't let misguided people sway you.

I do things most people have no idea how to do, and I learned how to do this through experimenting and finding good tools. Not sure how stopping my journey to go learn theory will help that. Who here has used any software and not gotten or reinforced music theory? It's really not well thought out response, besides missing the mark. I have learned a lot about theory from the software. How can anyone who has used software to any extent say to learn theory and then move ahead? It's misguided. As a drummer, I set out to be able to compose alone instead of just doing drums on someone else's composition. So I may never find out about some very cool thing that rapid composer does, simply because I listend to someone who really has no idea what I am about. If I really did pay attention to the off topic feedback, I would just put it away until I 'qualify' to do real music. I sure didn't let someone else's idea of real music stop me from my studies of the tools.

I have found that Reason 12 is quite a decent editor both of audio and midi, and so I don't use acid pro 3 as much as I used to. It closes doors based on preconceived ideas of how things should go. It's kind of a rediculous way of thinking. In my opinion they shot themselves in the foot to think this way. If I had listened to these nay sayers and just put it away without ever exploring it I would not have found that it is great at doing other things than just using loops. It's why I continue using it to this day and almost never use it with loops. The v3 I use is the best audio editor I have ever used. That is why this pecking order makes me want to puke. There's always someone better than you and it could happen that they would talk down to you and tell you what you should be doing, and how you could be better. That's the wrong reason to be doing this.

I can sit down behind a drum kit and prove I can really play if it is necessary. I am so glad I didn't listen to these people who are in music to prove something. So I kept bumping into people with this mentality of 'that's not real music', because it uses loops. That would explain why when I tried to do what the videos show, it just does not work like it shows in the video.ДЄnother thing here.

It might have changed since the tutorials have been made. One thing that has been on my mind about this is whether or not the copy I got off the sister site is missing things that would be present if I bought it. He could not improvise at all and he was studied in this theory. Really nothing wrong with that, but for me the ear training is MUCH more important. Come to find out my guitarist friend teaches beginner kids. There is a practicality to this that you've totally overlooked. I usually do things by ear, and then if I need to explain it, I go to the software to get that info. So if I waited to reach a level of knowledge of theory that would be sufficient for everything, I would never get anything done. I know enough to know that theory only explains what we are doing and the ear is more important over all. So I kind of chuckle at these types of responses. I am mainly a drummer who has a decent ear and can hold my own with the ear. If it was not written out for him he had a hard time with it. He was very good at the theory part of it, but when you got right down to it, he was not great at the application. Every time we threw him an improv section, he fell apart. I used to be in a band with a guitarist who was a teacher by trade. Even having music theory in your hat, does not give you inspiration. It can be good for progression starters, (to be developed). I have a handle on the basics of theory I rekon, so yes, your reply misses the mark.
