@richtf you're wrong.. hahaha. he is right.

"Duple" & "triple" are not the correct and standard designations! They are more properly called "simple" and "compound" meter. Simple meter means that the basic beat is divisible by 2 and compound meter means that the basic beat is divisible by 3. It is a bit more complex than this but it is a better description than what he is saying in the video.

@richtf I think you're talking about the down beat. Those are emphasized beats. 3/4 has one strong beat followed by 2 weak beats, but there are 3 beats, just not as emphasized as the first.

@richtf You are absolutely right

@richtf dude seriously?
3/4....means that there are 3 beats per measure, with the quarter note getting the beat.
there could be 12 notes, where the notes would be sixteenth notes, but the quarter note still gets the beat.
@randompurple35 If you are in 3/4 time and the tempo reads 80MM, you would conduct or play 3 beats per measure. If the MM is 180 you would play or conduct 1 beat per measure. In 12/8 time, do you conduct or play 12 bets a measure or 4 beats per measure. Therefore my statement is accurate. Why don't time signatures read "3beats/4," etc. Not bragging, I have a Grad Degree in Conducting & 20 Century Music Lit. Also a pro musician for 50 years. Symphony, Jazz, Recording, etc.
