    Psssst....I have a music making app coming out soon....it's kind of related to this video because you can do polymeters in it but really it's a full on sample-based DAW for iOS :D Sign up to get notified when it drops - it will be 20% off for the first week or two: flipsampler.com

    If you are using Studio One, then you can apply the 2nd or non-time consuming method 8:08 (both audio and midi) although the particular two (or more sounds) need to be on different tracks.
    I will be using the order of tracks as given in the video for my examples and methods.
    For Midi, arrange the notes in the way that Mr. Andrew has instructed you to 8:12 (on different tracks in S1 of course).
    Now Time Stretch the midi event of the longer track so that the last note is at the very start of the next bar (somewhat like the instructions here 8:31).
    It is quite the same for audio, with a few changes.
    For audio, follow the first step used for the midi track. Now merge the 2nd track and bounce to new track.
    Then Time Stretch it so that the start of last sound of the bounced out event is at the very start of the next bar.
    I hope you found this useful! (Please pardon my mistakes in my English if there are any, as I'm not a Native Speaker)
    [Also a huge thanks to you Mr. Andrew as I did not understand the difference between Polymeters and Polyrhythm until today]

      @johnknight9150 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      If you check out Meshuggah, their music is mostly polymetric, and aggressively so: you don't need to be a music nerd to hear that something strange is going on, and you'll see members headbanging out of sync, but then matching up (check out Pravus live as a good example). I can't think of a solid example of polyrhythms, but Tool sometimes have polyrhythms and polymeters in the same song, like Invincible. That one is nuts!

    My new favorite thing is poly phrases: For example, putting a 4-measure melody over a 3-measure chord progression, so the chords shift every time the phrase repeats

    • @gehteuchnichtsan7911
      @gehteuchnichtsan7911 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Isn't this just polymetric?

    • @azd685
      @azd685 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Not quite. Everything in the same time signature, but one part is playing three-bar phrases and one is playing four-bar phrases. It's a lot more subtle than polymeter when you listen to it.

    • @azd685
      @azd685 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Fair... I guess I'm just saying that if you keep your polymeter in multiples of an underlying time signature, it stops sounding like polymeter and sounds like something else, which is less in-your-face

    Going deeper into the math-rock, the "djent" subsubgenre of progressive metal can very much be about that - whether it be Meshuggah's "New Millenium Cyanide Christ" (23/16 on 4/4), or TesseracT's "Palingenesis" (13/8 on 3/4).
    Also if you want another "spoken word polyrhythm", 5:4 can have the phrase "go to bed, go upstairs to bed".

    That tiny detail of explaining the difference between both concepts by animating their respective name (3:07) in a way that visually reflects their audible properties is the entire reason I watch educational TH-cam content. Like I'm never gonna forget the difference between these two things now thanks to that. Great stuff as always, Andrew! :D
