Prominent Use of Synth

UPDATE:  I got so excited about Who’s Wit Me that I opened a fresh Logic session and re-created the basics.  Then, because she’s  teaching me music theory—OK, one lesson so far—Sara quizzed me about it.
I figured out:  it’s in D minor.  The bass (shown) goes: 1 3 2 4 (6 5).
 I did with help and reference:  use an organ to put chords behind the bass line in D natural minor.
 I was introduced to:  (After saying “Some of these [natural minor chords] sound weird to me…”) harmonic minor, melodic minor, and changing the last chord to a dominant 7th.
Yes, this is ultra basic, but as a beginner, it’s awesome.  Having composed music electronically since 10th grade without knowing what I was doing or why it sounded good, learning about the structures behind everything is blowing my mind.

Hi, I'm Robbie Mitchell.
I live in NYC, work at Knewton, and co-founded a sweet educational rap company.

I obsess about data analysis and minor progressions.
