are tough imo cant make any decent sounds anyone wants to share some infinite wisdom with me on this? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Hmmmm interesting. I'm going to give that a go. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah i was playing some random tunes with the guitar.. and i came up with something nice.. so i typed it into the pc hoping it to work out (i make tracks like this most of the time) but it was in 6/8 time... its quite nice but i cant make a good beat to it, just some drums and crashes.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Try giving a listen to Leftfield's 6/8 war for some ides on how a 6/8 beat can progress... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It is on their "Rhythm and Stealth" album. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
here.. have a listen if you're interested... its quite ok but i dont like the beats.. so ill check that stuff out alnuit, thankies |
||||||||
|

well, it certainly appears to be a better way of working on tunes. I just throw random beats and notes together, spend days tweaking filters and waves to get everything sounding juicy, then throw the whole lot onto my sampler and really mess things up. Could be the reason why the last project I completed was in 97 :( Damn technology. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
nice idea...great melody...sounds like Mouse On Mars... :) why don't you place some real slow eastern strings (instead of the soft strings) in the background ? I have a feeling that would go well with this. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
P.S. dude, the track sounds great. And you already have the beginnings of a rolling little beat. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'd love to hear those crashes sounding a little less like crashes and a tad more ambient. Get some filters on those things :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
okay thanks for the tips youall! im gonna try to get an eastern-sounding part up now... hope it works out |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

it's a lot easier to do irl than with a computer. That's because it's not based on a 4/8. The easiest way to start is to make a melody/beat that goes like dieduliedU TA TA TA. Hm, hehe, hard to explain through words. just fit 6 equal notes in a measure of 4. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
mmm doing that gives.. interesting.. results... thanks for the tip |
||||||||

ive a trak "the drowning boy" in 3/4. thats 6/8 yeah? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
6/8 is basically like 2 bars of 3/4. BASICALLY. but just remember, in 6/8 the accent is usually on the 1 and the 4.... giving it a triplet feel. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
or one bar of 2/4, with triplets so many ways of looking at it... but yeah, the emphasis is on 3s |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
radiohead-idioteque |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i love 6/8 ...but i love 5/8+7/8 more...5/8 is lovely too... the real challenge is 9/16 |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
9/16 how do you interpert it? 3 beats, with triplets? or do you count it as one phrase....? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Cfern off Confield is in 6/8 - at first anyhoo. I've never tried waltzing to it though. :D Coincidentally I'm working on a jazzy track right now that's in 6/8. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
5/4 is great once you get the hang of it. Hats off to Brubeck for popularizing it and showing how hard it can swing. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
in one...like 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9, 1 2 3 4 .....etc... the 5/8+7/8 is like this 1 2 3 4 5, 1 2 3 4 5 6 7, 1 2 3 4 5, 1....etc. I have made a track that shifts like this first 5/8+7/8 then 6/8 then 3/4 then 12/16 i'll upload it to my site when i come home (in 25 minutes) if anyones interested |

6/8 is basically like 2 bars of 3/4. BASICALLY. but just remember, in 6/8 the accent is usually on the 1 and the 4.... giving it a triplet feel. whoa slow down with the tech talk guys ;) ah ill just try some buttons.. the track is coming along just fine now |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah please upload it for me... so i can listen what all this odd stuff sounds like |
||||||||
|

Triplets are NOT 3/4 people triplets are when you count 1 2 3 4 but are laying the 1 2 3 at the same time as 4/4 like this: 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ah fuck....doesnt look like it should |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
sure man... :D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
huh? triplets are subdivisions of a beat... in 3. so you have 1 2 3 4, but in each of these beats, you have 3s, instead of 2s or 4s. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
That's more like a polyrhythm - there'd be a phase shift from bar to bar, which is cool too. I love the way King Crimson does that all over the Discipline album. Which reminds me, there's a stick player at the jazz fest in an hour - I should get off my ass and go see him. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
and yes, i know triplets are not 3/4... but when you are doing 6/8, slowly, it can sound much like 2 bars of 2/4 with triplets, or just 2 bars of 3/4 |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
think that's tough? I made a track once iwth 10/8 and 13/8 alternating (no joke) :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
sounds cool |
||||||||
|

i've been doing stuff in thirds, jazzwaltz type stuff. try writing two loops of the exact same time length -- like two of about 3 seconds -- but have one loop hit the third notes -- (every .25 sec) and have one loop hit quarters -- (every .37 sec, or half of .75) then mix them together. It's crazy but if you time it right it just may work. I've written some tracks in 5/4 that some quite good.... they're noisy as all fuck but they're good. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
like... *--*--*--*--*--* *---*---*---*--- ? thats a polyrythem |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hey i know triplets... its like 1...2...3...4...| X....X....X....| with X at 1, 2 1/3 and 3 2/3 or something... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
triplets are like 1---2---3---4--- 1**2**3**4** |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i have uploaded the track...but i have to excuse for the raw sound...it was one from my first project, but i'm thinking of making a remastering soon. the track is called "beat in a bottle" and it's under "music" on |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
1**2**3**4** that´s it. btw, check out "Rakimou" by Plaid. That one is in 6/8 if I recall correctly. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
erm...what does 6/8 etc. mean? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i like to write in any meter except 4'4 i like 5/4 6/8 and other's here is a track in a mish mash of time signatures ranging from 4/4 to 9/8 (i think) it'll be on my ep coming out soon. i've posted it here before but give a listen if you haven't heard it. (please) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
6/8 means that there are 6 beats to the measure, and the eigth note is the note value that gets the beat |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well i never took any theory. i just like to use fucked up time signatures. it forces me to 'think outside the box' or some shit. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
*is interested JAroen, i kinda dig that track! :D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
If you don't know theory, how do you know what the box is? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
actually, i've always kinda wondered what time signature my track 'anthill' is in. if any of you trained musicians would like to count it out for me i would appreciate it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
