basically we agreed to disagree, and then started to talk about how the french eat horses, which i find fascinating.

Originally posted by Mike_Foyle ok fair point, but as i sequenced it in 6/8, the rest of the track would be in 6/8 to. and as there is nothing but the percussion to base the time signature on, thats all u can base it on.

there is not such thing as a "definition" what is 6/8 or 4/4... music could actually exist without these measures, but it would be much more harder to compose and play... my personal defining tool for measures (which is also the best i have) is my brain, and when i listen to your sample, it tells me 1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4... and not 1,2,3,4,5,6,1,2,3,4,5,6 (double tempo)... edit: at least when there is the kick

good point, at the end of the day it depends where u put the line between maths and perception, lets agree to disagree

I dont even think that we actually disagree, because there is no standard which could be correct or wrong... so it depends on the listener. full stop

did you know that many french eat frogs too? and my guest family even served bowels when I was there...

sorry i was not very clear :-) the actual drum samples are the same, arent they? the bassdrum sounds very similar... im listening to the top 100 announcement atm so im not really able to compare these excerpts in detail

ok, nevermind... dont know, but threads like this somehow motivate me to try totally new things... until now, i made only 4/4 tracks, but why not drift into IDM and create an 11/12 thing tomorrow? Its always the same with these technical threads about production and music theory.. how about you?
