[QUOTE=faith+1]your odd times suck .....go to the drumforum and learn how to count properly cause 25/8 is just playing 5 bars of 5, which would be easier, and if its impossible to count your 25 rythm in 5 explain how you are counting and i will tell you if you are right, and if im just being an a[SIZE=2]sshole[/SIZE].[/QUOTE]

How is 25/8 5 bars of 5? That would be 25/4 timing. 25/8 timing is 5 bars of 5/8 timing (which is 2.5 beats, not 5). Now, last time I checked, 5/8 timing is a little strange to play in.

:rolleyes: when phrasing odd times into sentences you normally stay on one note duration, or else notate what duration you are speaking about at the time of change. If you have ever even glanced at sheet music you would know this. Good example would be symphony X, they have a passage that refers to a triplet style 23/16, the next passage is a 21/16, there is no notation of what the note duration is for this, because most people educated in odd times will know that 21/4 is plain idiotic.

And since when does everything revolve around quarter notes? if things were how you say (which they arent) then saying 5 by itself would be like saying 5/1 not 5/4, like you said. (5/1 would be plain stupid)

Educate yourself in punctuation. :lol:

Wow, you have absolutely no clue what you are talking about. You said 25/8 is 5 bars of 5. That is exactly what you said. And than in this post you say that saying 5 by itself would be like saying 5/1 not 5/4, "like I said." Well, you said 5 by itself. When you refer to the number of beats in a bar, it is most often based off of quarter notes. For example, let's use 5/4 b/c as I hope you know, 5/1 isn't an actual timing. Divide 5 by 4. It equals 1.25. Multiply that by 4, it equals 5. Quarter notes is what almost every musician uses and bases things like this off of. 4/4 has 4 beats in it. 3/4 has 3. 5/4 has 5. 5/8 has 2.5 beats in it (or if you prefer, 5 eigth notes). 5/4 and 5/8 are not the same thing (same goes for 21/16 and 21/4). The reason quarter notes are used most often is because it's the easiest to use and it's extremely unusual to have a bar that is less than one quarter note.

you need to reread my post.

umm this post confuses and angers me. I havnet read sheet music in a long time, but the way Ive always understood time signatures is this. The first note in the fraction is how many notes in the measure. The second note is the type/duration of the note.

7/8= seven eighth notes per measure.
7/4 seven quarter notes per measure.

25/8 would be one measure with 25 eighth notes.
25/4 would be one measure with 25 quarter notes.

also, its only important to have all your notes equal what the time signature reads. You can have a dotted eighth note followed by 2 quarter notes and that would be 5/8.

or so i think.

Your post makes more sense now that you edited it, but you need to reread my post because you don't seem to be understanding what I'm saying.

[QUOTE=faith+1]Fixed......... now educate yourself in life and stop being a grammer nazi.[/QUOTE]

I'm not even close to a grammar Nazi. Just don't insult someone's intelligence and compose a post that is unintelligible. Now continue with your meaningless time sig pissing contest...

correct rounder ^

This is probably pointless because probably no one knows, but any new news on the next Tool album? Last I heard, it was to be released this fall.

[QUOTE=SmashingPumpkin]This is probably pointless because probably no one knows, but any new news on the next Tool album? Last I heard, it was to be released this fall.[/QUOTE]

It's all speculation, but yeah... your guess is as good as anyone's. Next fall SEEMS to be a good guess.

Hmm, you guys are right. Sorry, I was way over my head with that.

Your music theory skills > My theory skills.

Patient- The JoZ isn't really mxing any more. :-/ Do you think that instead of Ticks and Leeches you could do Eulogy? Or both? I'm trying to incorporate 307 into this, and he wants to do Eulogy. :shrug: Maybe I shall beckon him to this thread so we can talk.

You should beckon him. This thread needs some reviving.

So we are down a JoZ?

Not to beat a dead horse, but...

1. Firstly, I meant 26/8. A simple typo. I mentioned 26 later.

2. If I'm playing something like 9/8, I don't break it up into 3, 3, and 3. If I'm playing 15/8, I don't break it up into 5, 5, and 5, etc.

3. You seem like a much more musically knowledgable guy, so I guess I misunderstood something with my own stuff.

Could someone please send part 1 of the oklahoma concert? Please?

About number 2...it really helps to split them up, you should try and get used to it.

Ok guys, I come to you bearing more good news.

MagicalTroll is going to do Stinkfist bass, and he said perhaps Lateralus.

We're not quite down a JoZ, but he's been absent for quite some time...:-/ I talk to him, and he says he'll have them done, but he always 'get's busy' or something. :p

I'll IM Chris and ask him to join us.

If i had a mic id do the bass :(

Hello

I have been beckoned.

I'll do about anything, as long as it's not Prison Sex and it's not Hooker with a P[COLOR=White]e[/Color]nis.

Hoorah! An able bassist who posts in this thread!

Isn't he a guitarist?

No idea, I thought we already had plenty of guitarists...so...yeah

Then go down to la bodega and buy one for like ten bucks! :lol:

Am an able bassist :( jsut odnt have a ****ing mic.

I'll do guitars for Lateralus.

Should I record with my stereo capabilities or should I keep my track panned to one side?

Since you do have a POD and you could get the highest quality out of us all, I think it would be suiting if you did so, Chris. :thumb:

Heck yeah man.

Check my last post for an edit.

My recording quality is great, I just haven't had the time to really get a good recording yet. I've been recording a lot with my own band lately, so all my time is used up with that, and I'm usually burned out of it by the end of our sessions.

[QUOTE=herbtones]Am an able bassist :( jsut odnt have a ****ing mic.[/QUOTE]

That's kinda what I meant by able.

How much is a POD? and where can I learn about it?

Does anyone know Faith's soundclick?

Kage-No hurry man. Just within the next 5 weeks, of course. :p

[QUOTE=Sliptallica]That's kinda what I meant by able.

The most expensive one is the XT Live. It's $399.99 USD. I can teach you about it if you want. :p

I'll have to start working on a Toolish tone. I have loads of metal ones.

NVM, it wasn't what I thought it was.

You can get one of those red kidney shaped ones for like 200 though, can't you? Those are still pretty pristine.

Chris- That tone on your solo sounded fairly close to me. :-/ All you really need is some distortion and delay. :lol:

Below me- mod spam. :eek:

Haha, I'll start dialing in a tone right now.

I'll be back in a while.

Hi, I'm new here but not to this thread. A few points. I'm not 16. These covers better be topnotch when they're finally done, and where the hell did Ken go?

[QUOTE=Kage]Isn't he a guitarist?[/QUOTE]
If you're talking about me, then yes, I am a guitarist. But I can play bass just as good, I play it alot in this church band me and my friend play in everyonce in awhile.

I'm gonna try to have the tracks up on... Tuesday-ish.

I started the guitars for Lateralus.

The drumming is very good. It's also on time with the album. :D The guitars are going well so far. For the distorted parts, I have two different tones, one panned to each side.
