    This was a very hard song to remix.

    It's very similar to the remix we got from the LIVING THINGS Remixed subscription. It's not bad... As I said here, I'm going to be impressed when someone remixes this in the same time signature that the original was in.

    I started making this before the remix was released. It annoys me that my idea ended up being so similar. But I'm still happy with it though

    No, dude, don't get me wrong, you did a great job. My personal preferences with time stamps just clouds my vision... :lol: I am an absolute sucker for 6/4 time.

    Don't know what 6/4 means :lol: I'm only a learner :3 Anyway. Roads Untraveled was really hard to remix compared to I'll Be Gone as the vocal timing was tough

    Most songs you hear are 4/4, common time, meaning there are 4 beats per measure played 4 times. The beat goes:

    1 - 2 - 3 - 4
    1 - 2 - 3 - 4
    1 - 2 - 3 - 4
    1 - 2 - 3 - 4

    Two off of my head examples are "BURN IT DOWN" and "One Step Closer." (Most of LP's music is 4/4 time.)

    With 6/4 time, there are 6 beats per measure, played 4 times. The beat goes:

    1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 - 6
    1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 - 6
    1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 - 6
    1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 - 6

    "From The Inside" and "ROADS UNTRAVELED" are two examples.

    The top number indicates the number of beats per measure, the bottom part tells you how many times it is played before repeating. It sometimes will happen in a song where you get a time change, meaning the time signature and possibly tempo change. I can't think of a song off the top of my head right now. I hope this makes sense and if I fucked up a piece of this musical theory, somebody let me know. This was what I was taught.
