I have this set up, but they are having a lot of problems with the amplifier.  I had them repaired and they are unfortunately breaking down again.  I might be in the market for a new set of monitors.  I really liked having a subwoofer, but I'm game for any and all suggestions.

Wow, thanks for all your time writing this out.  I'm going to have to sit with a drum machine/drum kit and try punching all these out.

lololololol

I love that answer, thank you smile

Are there other terms?

It depends on what you want to do in your transition. 3/4 and 4/4 are not very different from one another, unlike 6/8 and 4/4 or 6/8 and 3/4. A transition from 3/4 to 4/4 should work reasonably seamlessly without any fancy devices, as you're kind of just adding or subtracting a beat. But if you wanted to make the transition a little more fluid, you can superimpose one on the other for a short period before the change.

For the following, S = strong, W = weak (referring to the beat strength. SS will mean secondary-strong.

In 3/4, your pulse pattern is: S W W | S W W | S W W | etc. (counting ONE two three | ONE two three)

In 4/4 your pulse pattern is: S W SS W |S W SS W | S W SS W| etc. (counting ONE two THREE four | ONE two THREE four).

Ok so for a 3/4 you might have a pulse pattern: S W W | S W W | etc. and you might want to move it into 4/4, so you would introduce the 4/4 pulse pattern against the 3/4 pulse pattern, say, in one instrument.

I1 3/4|| S W W | S W W | S W W | S W W | S W W | S W W | 4/4 S W SS W | S W SS W | etc.

I2 3/4|| S W W | S W W | S W W | S W SS | W S W | SS W S | 4/4 S W SS W | S W SS W| etc.

In that example, instrument 2 introduces the "polymetre" of 4/4 against 3/4 facilitating a slightly smoother move into 4/4.

Notice that in the final bar before the 4/4 change there will be a "double accent" where the final strong pulse of the 3/4 has a new downbeat in 4/4. To get around this you simply disregard that beat structure a bit (I.e SS W W | 4/4 S W SS W) or make the transition long enough to have the full length of 3:4 (12 beats).

There are other ways to do this, but that is one of the easier ones. Is that what you are after?

Thank you for this!  I got an update - is the term I'm looking for "metric modulation" ?

I can't help with the comment search, but I can possibly answer questions you may have about that rough area, if helpful?

Thank you!

I think it is something like a Hemiola (https://douglasniedt.com/hemiola.html)

But it was about 3/4 into 4/4

A couple years ago, I left a comment on someone's track, and they explained a rhythmic technique to me.  I unfortunately cannot find where I saved this information!  Maybe someone can read my vague description and help me out?


I THINK it was something about moving a piece from 3/4 to 4/4 in a rather seamless way.  Something about putting an accent on one rhythm so it would change over "in time"


That's all I got - thanks in advance smile

whoa waho waho waho whoaiw ehoiahtw eoith ewaiohetw o I NEED THISSSSSSSSSSS

I finally got around to backing up my music computer and all of my files.  Hopefully will make this an AT LEAST monthly thing.  Just wanted to remind everyone, lest you lose all your hard work this year!
