so 12/8 is the same as 6/4 because one 4 is two 8? is it just normal math? jesus i thought it was that counting 16th (or triplets) each beat, and then how many beats in a bar/loop. its even more boring now that i know. i hate learning musictheory it takes away all the magic. thanks people, for ruining my illusion. please dont ever let me hear about notes, scales and chords. i will never be able to listen to music again.

edit: im getting it now though, its just the opposite of what i thought (as the Costanca rule should have printet into me brain by now). The dark side is 4/3 because it has 3 notes every beat and 4 beats in a bar. ok class over, thanks.

lol no

6/4 would be 6 groups of 3 eighths if you were to use compound meter which is what any meter with a multiple of 3 on top

so 6/4 would have the same length 18/8

the dark side is either 4/4 or 12/8

its 4/3 right? i get it now. i have seen the light.

3/2?

Posted by Looney4Clooney on Feb-11-2011 14:55:

6/5

3/2 is actually a real time signature tho

Posted by Zak McKracken on Feb-11-2011 15:12:

im serious. 4/3 is wrong?

I already answered that. There's no such thing as a third note, so no, there won't be a three at the bottom of the time signature. You'll typically have a 2, 4 or 8 on the bottom. That represents half notes, quarter notes and eighth notes.

Having a 3 implies you're subdividing the beat by a third note, which doesn't exist.

we called it running notes back in the day (16th). how to you say triplets under the line then? this is truly a mystery.

Posted by Zak McKracken on Feb-11-2011 15:28:

according to wikipedia the darkside is 6/8 or 12/8

i would never guess.

Posted by Looney4Clooney on Feb-11-2011 15:36:

Clueless question: why are all notes even? What's to stop a fifth note from existing?

Well thats retarded. FL breaks the laws of western music. Obviously they thought they were really clever at the time but really they just led noobs astray.
