Going back to musicals, and also for classical songs or any groups with a conductor, a 6/8 time signature is more efficient and clear for a conductor to beat, than a slow piece in 2/4 or 3/4. Drum Loops Library, sound effects loops, sound loops and download loops at. The same goes for blues, where instead of having a very slow “1 trip let 2 trip let” feel, the slow 1 2 3 4 5 6 is sometimes preferred, especially if staying in that feel for the whole song. It is also a popular time signature in musicals, especially in slower pieces where the crotchet beat would be too slow if notated with triplets.
This is why the 6/8 time signature is sometimes used in blues and jazz music. This is easy to do in 6/8 because it can easily feel like you are playing triplets, with a perceived time signature of 2/4 or 4/4. About the 6/8 time signatureīeat 3, 4, 5 and 6 all give a strong indication of a ‘swing’, or ‘shuffle’ feel to the beats. The hi hats are playing on all 6 quaver beats of the bar, which is the same on all of these drum beats. You tend to count it with emphasis like 1 2 3 4 5 6. The bass drum is on the first beat of the bar, and the snare drum is on the 4th quaver beat of the bar – these are the beats where the emphasis is in 6/8. The first drum beat is the standard beat to play for many when playing in 6/8 and is a good place to start. Variations: The right hand could be moved to the floor tom or ride, and accents / ride bell / open hi hats could be added About the drum beats in 6/8 Of course, I can produce my own loops at the correct time signature using various instruments (physical and virtual), but the whole point of Apple Loops is to add different effects and try things out quickly.Objective: To develop a vocabulary of various bass drum and snare variations that are usable when playing in the 6/8 time signature. So, unless I am wrong, it is goodbye to Apple Loops unless I constrict my song production to 4/4 - not something that I want to do. The tempo can change, but the beats cannot be stretched or shrunk. But since the loops are only in 4, 8, 16 or 32 beats that is not divisible by 6 and these loops can never finish on a 6/8 grid. If the loop beats were divisible by 6 then it might just be possible to combine multiple loops to (sort of) finish a phrase on a bar. So an 8 beat loop will take 1+ bars on a 6/8 grid. Since virtually ALL loops have 4/4 time built in they will snap to the grid on 4 beat combinations. A very small number of midi loops are in 6/8 or 2/4 time, but nothing that would be of any use. If you search for all Apple Loops in anything other than 4/4 time almost the only ones that come up are sound effects, and they don't really have any timing. At least that is something.Īpple Loops (neither audio or midi) do not adapt. I think that I may have figured this out for myself, but the answer is not good.ĭrummer tracks adapt to the time signature.
