Technology. Sometimes I’m wondering if absolutely everything that human do will be replaced by machines. Do we even need to know music theory or play any instruments to make amazing music? (I’m talking playing instruments on advanced level, not pushing keyboards keys like buttons with funky fingers). If you’re producer- not really. If you wanna perform live, compose and use advanced harmonies then I’d say yes.
There’s loads of apps that make us understand music in a better way. One of them is Patterning Drum Machine app. I find it incredibly easy to use, with loads of options to explore different rhythms and learn about them too. It’s basically unlimited. It comes in 2 versions: iPad and mobile. It has different loops for each pattern, draw/erase tools, built in sample library, mixer section and many more. And it’s also very addictive in my opinion. Time consuming in good way, the good technology.
