try reading over your sentences before you post them retard

the best option is probably to learn things that are necessary for doing the task at hand, and you will learn as you also make music

name one artist

do people actually think this? I know no music theory and make pretty good instrumentals. practice with anything and you'll get good. I watched two composers try to make a trap beat and it sounded like ass

kek thats me but you can still suck my nuts

I reckon I did a good job of getting my point across. Doubly so if I've triggered some pedant who will have to admit he's wrong.

Suck my cunt

>t. american

theory WILL make your music better, the problem is there's so much to theory you could study 100 hours of the irrelevant shit and gain 0 benefits from it. You have to know what to study and what to ignore. 99% of youtube tutorials either focus on the most basic shit or the most irrelevant shit
yeah? share one of those instrumentals

Music theory snobs are basically just bourgeois middle upper class flaunting their socioeconomic status, with the free time they have to pursue pointless hobbies. The working class has no time or need to learn music theory, music theory is racist

boris alexandrov and the red army ensemble, tovarish

the whole point of theory is to extend your harmonic and structural vocabulary so you can make your tracks more varied/expressive if you wish. you just take the stuff you need

music theory is easy, you can learn it in 20 hours, 40 hours if you want to play jazz

sorry man but that's really boring, it doesn't go anywhere

poor black people managed to learn enough theory to create and play jazz, funk, RnB among others. And that was before the internet. Coltrane studied from russian scale books. You have no excuse you're just a lazy faggot

theory. isn't. a. music. making. tool.

putting. periods. between. your. words. doesn't. make. you. right. it's. just. cringe.

dude. i. stutter.

You have a good ear for arrangement rhythm but your song doesn’t go anywhere. It’s the same chord loop with the same sixteenth note riff over and over again, with various layers coming in and out as your bass moves around in an aimless riff. This song would benefit greatly if you knew how to develop your motifs in such a way that they could have some harmonic tension/motion. Right now it’s a loop that belongs in a sports game menu screen, looping infinitely, content to never really go anywhere.

That said, you have a good ear for pacing as well. It’s just harmonically boring, and contains the exact deficiency i’d expect from someone who actively eschews theory because they “already know what to do”

>your song doesn’t go anywhere
just like life

Maybe your life, loser.

This but unironically.

>he memed his brain with the narrative meme

this is fucking shit and you are not a legitimate musician

>he's a depressed nihilistic loser with no aspirations in his pathetic life so he's forced to project to compensate

>he's so committed to his life being a story that he immediately fantasizes about anyone not falling for the meme having a "pathetic life"

Well, yeah? Enjoy floating in an endless void of despair?

enjoy "narrative" "twists", "character" "development" and "closure" !!!!1

Thanks lol I will

L O L !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You don't need to study music when you have natural music talent.

SEETHING

>make a trap beat and it sounded like ass
Well yeah.

wit

>he fell for the talent meme
Never going to make it.

No, but if you're gonna post like a critic and want to at least have any semblance of a respectable opinion, you have to at least know basic theory and play an instrument, and in this time and age, not only nusic theory, but production theory too.

OP thinks that 100 hours of dedication to something is too much. Sounds like a kid to me, or an absolute failure.

>production theory
qr pl0x

if this was meant as an instrumental your criticisms are exactly the point. adding too much harmonic motion would distract from the vocals. it's like film music in that way.
that said there's still plenty to discuss here: the loop is lazily put together with no real FX editing, the drum samples are well below par for modern production with no real groove change ups, the mixing is pretty amateur
it's actually a good beat compositionally speaking, it just needs a ton of modern polish to get it 'there'

Realistically speaking, it would be wholeheartedly ignorant and even overly prideful to think you can ignore knowledge established over many years and shared among others thinking your own street smarts and intuition can make you some prodigy. This applies to anything from learning to cook, becoming a doctor or being an artist.

just remember that most of the people saying that it’s pointless are high schoolers and their hubris makes a lot more sense

Good thing I've got more hours than that under my belt.

This, how I wish that in highschool someone would tell me that i needed to practice with a metronome, or to learn the basics, how to build chords, basic scales and keys, and other basic shit like the circle of fifths. It would have certainly helped a lot at that time. It is still very helpful.

>meet a teenager who wants to be a professional musician but doesn't know any music theory
I've given up on these guys.

I think they just don't know what goes into making music and think that theory only applies to classical?
Or that learning how music works will somehow make them less innovative?
>nah bro - I make rock and roll - that theory shit is for nerds.
