Devon8822 Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 I'd like to fit this riff into logic nicely, and be able to have whatever time signature it is set with to use as a click track for recording it. So my main question is figuring out how to count it? Its very strange, and I think it has a couple time sigs in it, because it does not feel right or lineup with the beats all the way through. I have recorded it as best I can in time without any click track, just with a 57 popped in front, so excuse it. The tempo is 52. I tried a couple things already like 11/8, and im pretty sure that it needs several time signatures for it to feel right, but I dont really know how to figure it, if someone thats good with counting could help me out that would be amazing! Cannot figure out.mp3.zip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rev. Juda Sleaze Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 To me, it sounds different each time you play it. The first time (starting from the 1st big down-stroke chord) sounds like 9/4 (4+5). But it's not that any other time. Maybe best to record along to a click at 52bpm, with no accent on the click, then just count the beats! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devon8822 Posted November 9, 2011 Author Share Posted November 9, 2011 I think your right man, however I am unable to play it to a metronome it just cannot play it lined up with a steady click. I'm going to attempt putting it into guitar pro.. hmmm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rev. Juda Sleaze Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 How about double-time click? Or failing that, cross-rhythm click? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devon8822 Posted November 9, 2011 Author Share Posted November 9, 2011 Double time click doesn't help, what do you mean by cross rhythm click, hmm maybe that is the ticket. I have been working at this all day, and i'm getting close to just giving up and calling it "free time". I'm thinking that it is both an irrational meter and mixed meter (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_signatures) which is why I think Its not possible to play it with a straight click of w/e tempo. So I think it may be a fraction of a beat too long, as well as having at least two different signatures making it mixed meter. The clip I posted earlier definitely is not played in time. So what about this cross rhythm click? Like a polyrhythmic click? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarlosUnderground Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 Have not heard it(iPhone ) but I ran into a similar prob and just set a click to 16th notes and played over it. Then I worked it out. 13/8 by the way. Often times I'll just record it then mock up a beat and not worry about it too much until after I'm done, as to not intellectualize over it. It's all about emotion, not intellect. Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
