edited due to the delayed reaction of noticing spam. woops.

It doesn't matter in the context of MUSIC in a sense .. I have a church gig, we have two services, the morning keyboard player reads piano parts perfectly, her cantor loves it ..all exact, all formal.. I can read music BUT I read chord charts and melody line and improvise, stick to the melody mostly and the hook line but we feel the flow, the "spirit", we improvise to a degree, and we have congregation involvement. NOW if your reading ork stuff or symphonic, yes you BETTER read note for note, and "some" copy bands want that note for note lick. other than that ENJOY making music..

ohhh snap TIMIDI, I dont see the link to spam

One can read and write notes almost perfect but his music itself is not hitting. the oposite the second musician who cant read notes makes much better slamming tracks.

This is a pointless comparison as you've slanted it by taking the good aspect of each thing and paired it with the worst case in each.

If you can read music AND have a gift for interpretation that would be the best scenario.

One thing doesn't exclude the other, in that form it's usually a question posed by people that feel insecure about having no musical education.  I you feel like that then get some education, otherwise keep making slamming tracks and just enjoy doing so.

Being able to read and write though will certainly provide you with more opportunities for getting work whatever language you choose to adopt.

(I guess all that's just a less succinct version of Tim's reply... )

I think it may have been down to the dodgy link in your sig that doesn't point to the text in it that might have put people off.

That and that your profile isn't visible.

Crap ... I logged on to reply to this thread and I see you guys are nailing him for spam?

I'm not seeing it? He just has links to his music ... and it's free to listen to. How is that spam? And if he is a spammer, he's the worlds worst. I had to copy/paste the links because he screwed them up and neither one works by clicking on them. Heh.

I see you guys are nailing him for spam?

Define 'you guys' here...
