I can read and write music, but "it don't mean a thing if..iagt..swing" It has helped though in the past. In the case of playing on a recording where parts were written that the creator of the track or song wanted. I would get a sound, thinking or "not" thinking about the music, read the part and then got it down. Although I like it when someone plays or sings me something and then I just feel it from that. If you want to read some classical, or get some chords from a song, or to remember, can help. But I just record to remember for myself. One company made a computer program that will figure out a single melody and write it down. Pretty cool, I guess. Don't really need too. Hope that helped in some way.. chalk DMANX@... wrote: Hello All, How many on this list can read and write music?is it necessary these days if you are into analog-hardware/soft-synths?

I think you need to have some idea, but I can't really read and play in real-time and I get by If you can record your music by midi, cubase will make the score for you, so I'm not sure writing is necessary either

Who can say but, I think it's always advantageous to have some basic theory under your belt - regardless of the type of instrument you choose to play. Jon

Hi Dmanx, Like most of the people who responded, I can read and write music. Also, like most of the respondents, I'm not all that good at it; i.e., I can't sight-read difficult passages and play them in real time. That said, however, I find that reading music helps, sometimes in unexpected ways, like being able to de-cypher a bass line or a harmony part, even though you already "know" the song. Understanding a bit of musical theory is even more important. It's just about mandatory for creating horn parts; it helps in anticipating chord changes in unfamiliar songs; and it allows me to create interesting solos and bass lines -- without an understanding of scales and chord patterns, all of these functions are mostly hit-hit-and-miss. I have NEVER been a speed-demon soloist, but I think I create solos that are more melodic than most 100%-by-ear players do.
