since i know there are a lot of bedroom djs or artists or idmists or(etc... whatever) on here how many of u tend to use non 4/4 time signatures? or combinations? i tend to work w/ 5 and 7 a lot, and i like throwing triplets, quintuplets, and septuplets into it when i can. |
||||||||

|
|
timesignature? hehe nah mate I don't believe in time. Thats manmade. I check bpm counts tho,.fo shizzo. . Like sequencing in bpm. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
how the hell would a septuplet work I'd like to know... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i dunno, what the fuck is a septuplet? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
septuplet is one beat in a measure that has 7 beats. Sept = 7 |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
don caballero have pulled off septuplets |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
septuplets, that i have heard, always have to be fast to sound good... so it would have to be like a 16th note hi-hat speed. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
actually i mean 5 beat measures, w/ 7notes between each beat. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
incorrect |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ONE two three four FIVE six seven (repeat) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yes. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
diemax is correct |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
and it sounds pretty nice slow too, tempo doesn't really change much, it's the relative interaction that counts, |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
diemax is correct |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah i am, i.e. triplets being bars of 4 beats w/ 3 notes in between |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
a septuplet my dear pussywillum, is 1 of 7 babies conceived from the same egg. you just made that up to look cool. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
LOL... waitaminute... i've been hanging around on this mb for far too long it's 'cause i got stoned, and i just started typing.... dammit... afk to smoke a cigarette and then i'm gonna work on BAD TECHNO |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
one fun thing is not sticking to the bars, so you could have it set up in 4/4, but make one bar 3beats, the next 3beats but thte 3rd 2beats long, or something. I like experimenting with time signatures too tho... check out Dave Brubeck's album "Time out" :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
actually, a triplet is 3 notes over two beats... hence the TRIPLET, meaning three... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
or something... hmmm, I don't even know anymore... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
wrong |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well, if you know so much, then what praytell is it? |
||||||||

A triplet involves dividing a single note or rhythmic unit with a duration of 1 beat into three seperate units which are all played in the space of that one beat. ie if you were playing straight quarter notes in 4/4; you would have four notes in succession per bar. Keeping the same tempo and meter, you could convert any or all of the notes to triplets by dividing them each into three units whose sum duration equals that of the quarternote. Its a really common rhythmic device in classic rock guitar solos. An example would be Jimmy Page's break in the song "Good times Bad Times" off Zeppelin I. |

i do. |

I don't know anything about time signatures besides 4/4 and 3/4. A famous song that incorporates them both seamlessly is We Can Work it Out! Hip hip hooray! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
if u have reason u could make 1 4/4 bar 16 notes, than make 20 on the next (carrying on into the next) then simply multiply it by 125% (change events/alter tempo) from there it's easy to go to any time signature and they'll still fit in the same amount of space- hence u can do progressive time signatures, only, they sound a bit choppy when u start out... have to learn methods of similar patterns to implement to make it stick togather |
||||||||

|
|
a famous 7/4 song: pink floyd's 'money' from the dark side of the moon album |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh and btw, incorporating 4/4 and 3/4 is simplicity in and of itself, u don't even need math, just do the standard 1231231&2& |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
and so u know, u basically just described what isaid only slightly differently, when ur thinking of 'beats' u mean, 8th notes, but a beat (as in bpm) is a 4th note, which is where u had your problem |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
listen and count mine ^ it starts out kinda 10/8 i think then kinda degrades from there. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
dammit... and i'm not even talking to anyone else... fucking internet message boards... i gotta do something other than this!!!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
eh, actually i don't know what it is. nevermind. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
fuck me man you know your shit! :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
3/4 time is sorely underappreaciated. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
what's the range of speed on a turntable? when djing could you, for instance, throw a record on twice the speed as would be proper? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
check 'south african man' by Hamilton Bohannon, it's in 9/8 time or whatever it is but.......you can dance to it like a disco track. When you're feeling it, it just rides! Like 'Take five' it's the perfect thing to get you into playing with time signatures. Hamilton Bohannon also laid out the blueprint for Chic etc for funk/disco to be universal and still stay credible. |
||||||||

|
living in the past by jethro tull is 5/4. take five is 5/4 but more like 15/8. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Jethro tull has some un-tapped breaks if you're into all that flower fairy crew. He's done some reeeet chooons! |
||||||||

|
|
Peter Gabriel's song Solsbury Hill is in 7/4 time! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i don't listen to anything with an odd number in it's time signature. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no, its in 4/4 time with 2 groups of 2 bars of 4/4 and a one bar of 2/4 in the bridge |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
sorry, thats 2 groups of 3 4/4s and 1 2/4 well? its late! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh yeah, it happens in the verse aswell, or am i doulbe timing everything? if i am then you're right funkmaster! my bad.... defintely bed time! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Is it really? I didn't even know, I don't know how to count anything but 4/4 and 3/4! That's one of the best songs ever written. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it's simple man, 123451234512345 thats 5/4 count listen to hella, great instrument math band that can run circles around even some of the best musicians coalesce, great math metal training for utopia, math metal with a different feel |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no, well actually it's in 7/4 time... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well that one is easy to count out... the whole song is basically a repeating pattern, and each pattern counts 7 beats... so each pattern is 7 beats... and really, another way to look at it is that each time the pattern repeats, the lyrics take up 4 beats, and bare music takes up the other 3... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
triplet (in 4/4)... 2 beats with 3 crothcets in them. or 1 beat with 3 quavers in it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
what are these time signitures you speak of? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
if you analyse it further by really clutching those buttocks, you'd realize that the bridge is a 3 then a 4, and the verse is a 4 and a 3 |
