Reply to Post subject: Why do I need music theory when I have "Scale" and "Chord"?

So I've been learning music theory, relative and perfect pitch, etc. in order to give me a solid musical basis for my production. But today I just discovered the scale and chord functions in Ableton, and all of a sudden I can create all these wicked chords--the very reason for my interest in music theory. I know I'm playing devil's advocate here, but if Ableton can virtually lay out my melodies, harmonies, and basslines for me all in whatever key I want, why should I continue to learn music theory?
