Goa in 6/8 Time Signiture?

[phobium]

I guess it depends what notes to emphasize.. but 6/8 and 3/4 are basicly the same (?)

 

I doubt there are many electronic tracks with 3/4

if you want to know what 3/4 is, listen to J. Strauss

One I can think of from the top of my head is Sven Väth - Caravan of Emotions.

I might be wrong though, that's it's not 3/4 at all.

But either way, it's a damn fine track.

From my experience it seems that 3/4 is the second most popular time signature in electronic music. Probably because it's the second easiest and is still danceable. 5/4 is rare, because it's more of a march signature. Holst's Mars, the Bringer of War is a really good example.

They are "potentially" the same in pure math terms, but in actual usage they are usually different. Most of the differences are hard to explain unless you actually read and use sheet music and work in much more varying tempos than trance does. It is possible to rewrite a 4/4 track as an 8/8 on sheet music, but it gets messy to read, counting it out loud would be a bit faster than you might comfortably be able to say or think and there is generally no real reason to.

 

Generally (but not always) #/8 time signatures are used in slower music or in parts of music where there are some strange measure lengths and change ups (think like the complicated prog. rock/metal working of groups like Dream Theater). At the tempo trance is in #/4 time sigs are the most applicable, almost all of which are 4/4, as is almost all popular Western music (as Otto Matta said, 3/4 is the next most popular).

umm... 12/16 is 3/4 just with a greater resolution, but I don't think triplets can be 12/16 and 4/4 at the same time?

If it has 4 4ths in each bar, and 12 16ths in each bar, it must be both 4/4 and 12/16 right?

 

With 3 16ths per 4th.

 

Maybe this is not correct according to the musical language though

 

Anyway, it would be the easiest way to describe triplets in time signature format.

Amazing tune. Too bad there aren't much tunes in that style.

You can't describe triplets in a time signature. Triplets are note information.

 

Again: Top number is how many beats to a measure. Bottom number is which note gets the beat. There is no information in a time signature about how the beat is further divided, which is the job of a triplet.
