This one switches time signatures a lot, but starts at 5/4
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rThtpgwbzP4

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jLbULEiuFgo

I still have absolutely zero idea how people identify time signatures. How do you count a beat? How do you tell if it's all in quarter or eighth or sixteenth notes?

>>375929263
Steins;Gate 0's theme, Messenger, uses 7/4 time.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lImwyFWomvM

How the hell do y'all recognize time signatures? Am I just a music pleb? I can't listen to these without feeling it as 4/4

>>375933352
It might be a little difficult to figure out the bottom number in a time signature, but you can generally figure out the top number pretty easily if you have any sense of rhythm.

An obvious one.

>>375932726
>>375933352
I really have no idea how to explain it if it's not immediately evident to your ears. Just listen to the link I posted and observe how it's different from the rhythm of the normal Chocobo theme. You can count "1-2-3-4-5" along with the rhythm and it lines up, but if you try to only count to 4, you're gonna get desynched with the music.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QSa6xYL-_MI
9/8

>>375934115
This one stays a consistent 4/4 all the way through though. It's just the melody that delays from the drum beat at points. Listen to it again and count the beats on your fingers, ignoring the melody.

>>375933615
>>375933750
Yeah, I'm aware that there's a pause of one beat added to the melody but still can't actually count it without getting desynched

Oh well, I can still enjoy my prog without it

Then why have niggers never composed great works of music? They just rap about bitches on their dick, to beats produced by jews.

>>375932726
you can't, really. Fundamentally there's no difference between playing 4 bars of 5/4 and 5 bars of 4/4 at the same tempo - you could take any regular piece of music and divide up the bars into 7/8 and it would look weird on paper, but since you didn't change any of the notes, it would sound exactly the same.

>>375934715
Look for the ones who produce their own beats, anon, like MF Doom.
Or, alternatively, dead japanese guys.

>>375934468
I slapped something together in audacity to try and illustrate it.

http://vocaroo.com/i/s0vLQPNh9Q6y

Listen to the metronome I added. The "ting" marks the beginning of a measure, and the "clicks" mark the beat. The song goes "ting-click-click-click-click" so the time signature is 5/4. If you were to just do a 4/4 beat so that the metronome goes "ting-click-click-click" then the "ting" wouldn't hit the beginning of every measure anymore. It would just sound randomly scattered through the song.

Also notice that at 0:13, the beat shifts to 6/4. The metronome now adds an additional click and goes "ting-click-click-click-click-click". Maybe you can hear the difference better in this example, since it changes partway through.

>>375929263
Final boss music for Persona 5. Cycles between 9/8 and 4/4. I honestly just call it 17/8 because it doesn't feel like 9/8 to me.

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=C2FXO9f2IdY

>>375936094
Oh yeah, and you should be listening to the electric organ at the very beginning that carries along throughout the whole thing. Notice how the musical pattern that the organ plays syncs perfectly with the metronome.

>>375932726
Tap your foot the music and count to when the music repeats

>>375936094
Thanks Anon, appreciate the effort you went to on that. That does help demonstrate it. So (breaking it down for my clueless arrhythmia) I guess the first step is to figure out when the measures start & then listen to the beats within each one that? Certainly seems like summat I can condition my ears to

Music threads have to be the best quality/least shitposter-y threads on /v/

>>375936902
I'd say try to isolate the drum beat from the rest of the instruments if you're actively trying to figure out a rhythm and not just passively enjoying music.

Also, the vast majority of music you listen to is in 4/4 so it should sound very balanced. If you feel like something about the rhythm is off from what you're used to hearing, try to figure out where the measure starts, and then count the beats out on your fingers.

>>375932149

Is this 3/4?

I'm not in the least bit fluent in music, I slacked off on learning to play music throughout my life.

>>375938182
It starts out in 5/4 and then switches to 3/4 around 0:31.

>>375929263

does it count as 10/4 if its two measures of 3/4 then two measures of 2/4, repeatedly?


https://youtu.be/jb8E8NQCErg

>>375936902
>>375937576
A good way to figure out where the measure starts is to listen to the musical patterns. If there are background melodies that are repeated, they're usually repeated at the start of each measure, or every two measures, with variations depending on key and chord changes. Cinco de Chocobo is actually where I learned to recognize this, but here's a non-vidya song that may help too - listen to the bass line.

OP here. Can't believe I didn't think of the Ganondorf battle - that's been the same in most of the games though IIRC - or at least similar. LttP had a 7/8 ganon battle.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h8dPHDcRgoQ

>>375939312
The one from Majora's Mask is is mostly 7/4.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N_RLDDly1tc

>>375938831
I still can't wrap my head around OoT's Ganondorf battle theme. It's ridiculous. I think it's even weirder than Strong One, to be honest.

>>375939678
tfw I can understand the Ganondorf theme but not the Ganon theme
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2b_QS5xoN44

>>375938682
Another good example of this is the Majora's Mask boss theme >>375939637

Starting from 0:04, if you listen to the repeating horn that goes "bum... bum... bum ba-dum", you can easily gauge the time signature from that.

>>375939678
It's probably easier to think of it as a group of 3+3+3+4+3+3+4 or a measure of 9/8 and then two measures of 7/8.
It's also easier to look at the sheet music as it's being played, it's a pretty cool song. https://musescore.com/user/207832/scores/195951

>>375939836

The piano one changes to 6/4 here and there

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ok6hq1RLqPQ

>>375934724
It's to do with how the bars are broken up. Sure you could put a 5/4 into 4/4 without changing the notes and it would just take more bars, but most things in 5/4 are broken up differently to how they would be in 4/4 and this is how you can hear it. It's like how 8/8 could potentially sound the same as 4/4, but it generally won't because the beat will be something like 3+3+2.

On-topic, here's one from FE Fates which is all over the shop.

It's actually 10/8, you can tell it's 10/8 and not 5/8 because while it's in compound time, it's still in 8-bar phrases.

In my experienced opinion, I hear a measure of 4/4, then 5/4, and two more in 4/4 before the entire phrase restarts based on the first bit of the song. You could also write it as a measure of 9/4, then two bars of 4, but the smaller the measure, the happier the reader.

>>375951973

Time signature greatly affects how music feels to listen to. It's steeped in music theory so you'd have to look it up on your own if you can't feel it naturally.

A lot of people don't know how to count measures or instinctively find the "down" beat if they've never played music. If you try tapping along to a lot of the songs ITT you'll find you "stumble" or lose your place sometimes when time signatures shift.

It's technical stuff that allows composers to make songs that otherwise don't fit into a single time signature. All about presentation and how they want the song to sound. If you aren't interested in how it works you can just appreciate it without knowing.

Beats to a measure.

Consider the start of We Will Rock You:
>Stomp Stomp Clap
However, there's also the silence before the next set. We call this a rest.
>Stomp Stomp Clap (Rest)
Now if you count each thing as a number, you get
>1 2 3 4
before it happens again. If you keep counting 1 2 3 4, 1 2 3 4, 1 2 3 4 throughout the entire song you'll find it always changes on the 1.

We Will Rock You is in 4/4 because each measure is made up of 4 quarter notes. The speed of each beat is the tempo of the piece.

Another babby example is the black knight theme from Fire Emblem Path of Radiance:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MaN2wQ3yMnc

This one's in 3/4 - it has 3 quarter beats to a bar. The first brass note is 3 beats long, then 1 beat of a different note, then 2 beats rest.

Now consider the mission impossible theme:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tGSUjuSBt1A

The song doesn't properly start until just before the 0:04 mark, but then the beat begins. The mission impossible theme is in 5/4. Each measure is made up of two notes for 1 and a half beats each, then 2 notes for 1 beat each. You can count along by breaking the first two notes into "one two three" each, then "one two" twice.
>123 123 12 12
Now, notice how in this case we're not counting the entire beat each time - we're counting it in halves. This means Mission Impossible's 5/4 time signature could be written as 10/8 as well - there's 10 8ths to the bar.

The last one I'll do is 7/8, which tends to be most people's introduction to compound times.

Here's I Am The Doctor:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K7VmOZ4Ppj8

In this case, count 12 12 123.

If you managed to follow that you'll have some idea of why this thread is full of people geeking out.

Also my contribution to the thread: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GEg0PCbSoYQ

Is there a standard "Ominous Vocal Intro" time signature for stuff like this or is it just a free-for-all until the song proper starts?

There's never an odd number on the bottom. The bottom determines whether it's quarters, 8ths, sixteenths, etc.

Pretty sure the start of that is just straight-up 4/4 but with syncopation.

>>375929263
anything from mother 3 is pretty great in my book.

You know, I'm actually gonna have to disagree here. That arrangement may have been chosen as 4/4 but it makes much more sense written in 6/8. Much more stressed notes fall on the 1 and it eliminates many of the tied notes across measures.

>>375954894
That one's 4/4, though it is possible to have no time signature. It's not usually done but it does crop up occasionally.

>>375952354
different time signatures have been a part of music forever, it's not a /mu/ hipster thing by any stretch. A mainstream example of music in an odd time signature would be Mike Oldfield's "Tubular Bells" (AKA 'the Exorcist theme')

5/4

5/4 with some 4/4

They're both fantastic

So how do we go about this? How's it done?
People say I have a good ear for music, but I don't really know what I should be looking for or counting in this case as I have never had any music instruction.

>>375933938
Western art music contains probably every used rhythm ever.
Don't confuse their lack of focus on percussion with lack of rhythm, syncopation, swing, or odd time signatures are not something that black people invented.

Based Follin!

I've been trying to compose, but getting interesting textures in a 3/4 piano piece is eluding me. Besides there usual waltz and it's variations, I feel that broken chords of 8 notes are my only option.

>>375956418
Triplets and tuplets of varying lengths as needed, my dude.

>>375956418
Try to do a 12/8 and make a ton of triplets.
Having a 12/8 triplet-focused treble clef mixed with a 4/4 quarter-focused bass clef sounds great, although it's tricky to play.
You could also go for something more impressionistic with massive sustained arpeggios.

Just listen to something you like, plagiarize it, and change until it's not plagiarism already, it just works.

>>375956573
I tried triplets in the melody but I didn't like the result. I'll try in the accompaniment and see what I get, the melody is pretty good now so I won't change that.

>>375956778
My previous piece (not in piano though) was in 12/8 so I want to do something else now. But I'll give it a shot eventually. I'm very much a beginner and I already feel way over my head. The next section of the piece will be more complicated though, so I may try massive arpeggios there.

>>375955543
tap the beat regularly
>>375955307
try with this, in the first part, try counting to 7 before it resets, congrats you got the beat

>>375957314
Okay, I'm doing it, how do I know if it's 3/4, 4/4 and so on.
I've been listening to some tracks and can clearly distinguish where the "loop" in the rythm is. In this case it loops at the 3rd beat so I'm guessing this will be a 3/something.

Am I on the right track?

>>375957605
You're not tapping regularly if you find it to be 3.

>>375957605
Count it out to the loop, bearing in mind that the counts must be evenly spaced and that there may not be a beat on every count.

See >>375936094
This anon has a fantastic aid for learning to hear the pattern particularly in Cinco de Chocobo, but it can be applied to other songs.

>>375957605
You're better off starting with something relatively simple like the mario kart one in >>375955226

Try counting to 5 from every voice "ha" from slightly before 0:02. You will only line up perfectly with the 1st, 3rd and 4th string bass note because the first two notes are 1 and a half beats long, so it doesn't get back into sync until beats 4 and 5.

HOLD IT!
Odd time signatures were clearly used for cross-examination in an Ace Attorney game 11 years before AA5!

That's not a time signature, that's a madman's rantings with a treble and bass clef!

and is actually one of my favorite examination themes

It's because of times like these that it's worth coming back to /v/.
When you fucks stop discussing stupid shit and actually focus on good things you can actually show how much you fuckers know and we can have pleasant threads like this. Good job!
