I love the 3rd inversion on the d7alt chord in this track
U mad? U mad.
i can see where 3za is coming from, even if he/she comes off as childish. Perhaps you were molestered at a young age by a music teacher
but seriously, being taught theory was the best thing that ever happened to me as a musician. My professor taught us how different modes, chords, chord inversions, and intervals sound on an emotional level. For instance now I know if I was a REALLY eerie or unpleasant sound, a tri-tone (dim4th or aug5th) will do the trick. And if you can't appreciate acoustic music, for whatever reason, then I'd say you're less of a musician for it. That is if you consider yourself a musician in the first place (I don't know anything about you).

I don't know shit about writting melodies, chords and whatsoever, I can only do basic inversions and 1-3-5 triads. I'm also tone deaf . Never stopped me from liking or writting music, electronic or acoustic. Groove and feeling in a song are way more important than creative progressions and melodies. Just listen to reggae, dub, techno, tribal music et coetera. Best compositions are the ones that come out naturally.
But that's just my opinion, OP's video was really nice.
He said appreciate, not enjoy. If I heard someone openly dismiss the influence of acoustic music, I'd have a hearty laugh and calmly walk away from that conversation, but I don't think any musician is that clueless.
Just in case anyone cares, in my opinion this stuff isn't strictly "important" ... but basically ANY musical training and knowledge you have can definitely help your producing, even if it's just like subtle infuences on your song composition or something.
I read somewhere that Phaeleh was classically trained, then turned to electronic music. And look at how "good" some of his music is! 'Afterglow' is one of my favourite songs of all time, and it sounds real simple, yet musically its... POWERFUL. It's and amazingly surreal song. I reckon any knowledge or trainingg you have in any aspect of music will help your producing even if you aren't consciously aware of it!
