So...This month has really been eye opening and very informative for me as I have started to stop watching/learning DAW/production videos and am really focused on music theory now.
Which is way more important than mixing/mastering/general production stuff. I.E. You can't polish a turd.
Just saw a video and many forum threads about scales and chords and how certain genres (i.e. EDM ones) actually are written in specific scales and chords.
I am confused because...generally speaking, I always thought that there was way more Freedom in music theory arrangement/composition. I.E. You can choose any scale/chords from music theory for your music, regardless of genres/styles.
Therefore...
1. Can someone explain why this is and the general theory behind it...???
2. If I am trying to fall into/emulate a certain genre/style...Should I try and stick with the scales/chords that have always worked for that particular genre...???
3. How do you find out which scales and chords fit best for a particular genre/style...???
4. I want to work with the Minor Pentatonic scale. Will this scale work with Dubstep, Trap, Future Bass genres...???
In the end...You can still do whatever you want scale/chord wise, regardless of genres/styles/music...right...??? i.e. If it sounds good...its good.
Please skool me...!? Thanks.
