#1 - i am not sure about that
music is all about the feeling in a song.
#2 - there has always been too many people able to play an instrument or two, infact, millions! the way to get a job, is to be able to play, AND to have to contacts. there is even people out there who is pro's who barely can play their own instruments..
#3 - i am afraid you are wrong here. its a "common argument" made by people who maybe has a hard time to read? like me? i cant read a note y'know, and i have gone to a music school even. notes for me = ants on a paper.. tried many times to learn to read/write those stinky little black dots on that stupid piece of paper, its not happening. other wise i would have made a gigantic score my self. (i also make cinematic music my self..)
that's why i rely so much on my ears. haven't had any issues so far.
again, music is about feelings, not about being super skilled, or being super skilled in reading notes.
Being able to play whatever that is needed is the key here.
and just to tell you the obvious here: "If it sounds good, its good, no matter if it is correct or not."
god.. why am i arguing on mmo-c? its a never ending story anyway..
no worries
to start with, i was pretty sure that they were all gods anyway, and that turned out to be not true, they are just very skilled people haha
