EC2151 Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 I like 4/4 and don't understand this fascination with compound meter. Variety is the spice of life, man. I don't think anyone hates 4/4, but why only listen to one type of music? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fratto Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 but why only listen to one type of music? That is hardly what I said. Or even implied. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flik Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 4/4 for me, but only because I've never tried doing anything any other way. Wait...I don't make music. Nevermind! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrumUltimA Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 7(1/3)/4. Village Burial with Fire by James Wood. But seriously I just like 4/4. Leave me alone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EC2151 Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 That is hardly what I said.Or even implied. Are you implying that i implied something about what you said? Because your implication is false. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danimal cannon Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 everything ever should be in 4/4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arcana Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 What, do you all have something against the waltz? 3/4 ftw even though I never make anything in 3/4. One day I'm going to make 3/4 trance. Just because I can. Even though if I do so it probably won't be trance anymore. But never mind that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoulinEther Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 I prefer the rhythm-free, structure-free jumbled mess I get when I arbitrarily and continuously pound my fists on the ivories. Ah, nothing says de-stress like piano slaying. but to answer your question, I do have a favo(u)rite time signature. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Strader Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 4/4 is pretty win, and of course, 3/4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dual Dragons Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 4/5/8/3/5/9/8 is kind of my favorite, it spices things up a lot lol xD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thylacine Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 I'm a waltz fan myself. (3/4) I didn't even realize it until I started listening to certain songs and realized that it was a time signature on a few of my favorites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Strader Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 There's a buttload of 3/4 songs by Nobuo Uematsu on FF8... one of my favorite FF OSTs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geoffrey Taucer Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 5/4, 6/8, 7/8 I generally find 4/4 to be boring HOWEVER, you can make just about any time signature sound more awesome with a triplet beat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kidd Cabbage Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 4/4, 3/4, and 6/8. When used tastefully, compound meters are fine... but in mainstream music, they never are and they're a crutch the pretentious writers use to be different and 'creative.' Absolute fucking crutch for bad writers who can't make anything interesting without them (see half of Dream Theater's newer albums). If you read that, and thought "Yeah, that's true! But when I use it, I do it tastefully, so that's good," then you're wrong. I'm absolutely talking about you. [This is all coming from a Meshuggah fan. But I'm fairly certain they're aware that it's kind of gimmicky.] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gario Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 Another good meter is 3+3+2/8...And here's a mandatory SLAP to NeblixSABER for his mathematic impotence... Oh yeah, NeblixSABER... I went there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Upthorn Posted June 12, 2010 Share Posted June 12, 2010 I once heard a song in 11/11, which was pretty kick ass for a song that sounded like accordian-based irish prog rock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoffrey Taucer Posted June 12, 2010 Share Posted June 12, 2010 accordian-based irish prog rock. Give me this track the fuck right now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
