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.
lololololol
I love that answer, thank you
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" ?
something went wonky! i need an upload SORRY
EDIT: oh my days it didn't upload because I was writing a 10 page essay, woops
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
