Duh

>multiplying the denominator
3/4 x 2 is 6/4

simplify = 3/2 = 1.5/1

you realise that 6/8 is compound duple time with accents on every eighth note right? You realise 6/8 is closer to 2/4 than it is to 3/4 right? Get your music straight faggot.

123,456 vs 123,123
it's almost the same shit senpai

Stephen here, thanks my man

>playing solely in 4/4
>>66402695
You realise your first one is the span of one bar, where as your second one is the span of two right?
>>66402695
To correct you, your comma would actually fall right in the middle of 2, in 3/4, that's why it's different. Overlapping 3/4 over 6/8 creates a polyrhythm akin to eighth notes over triplets. Or in this case, dotted quarters (6/8) over quarter notes (3/4).

Who do you think we are?
How do you know time signature by listening
How do you pick the bottom number? Yes, I am a philistine.
>>66404506
The bottom is what kind of note gets the beat.
So, something written in 3/4 has a quarter (1/4) note get the beat
Something written in 7/8 an eighth (1/8) note get the beat
Hope this helped

It takes practice. Try to bob your head or clap to the music and you should be able to get a feel for when each measure starts. Differentiating 2/4 and 4/4 is tricky but 3/4 and 4/4 is very simple.
>>66404506
Generally the bottom number will be 4 but if you feel a triplet pattern it'll most likely be 8, as in 3/8, 6/8, etc.
It will get weird and if something is slow and in 3 you probably couldn't be able to tell if it's in 3/8 or 3/4 unless you see the sheet music.

3/8, 3/16, 3/4 all sound more or elss the same when listening to them, the only difference is notation, composers pick the bottom number to help communicate the feeling and tempo of the piece.
top number is how many of the bottom there are in a bar. so 3/4 means three quarters, 3/8 means three eighths. technically you can notate time signatures however the fuck you want, 4/8 is the same sound as 4/4, but it looks simpler and is easier to read.
it gets more complex with compound time like 6/8 or 12/8 which have the same number of notes as their simple counter parts (3/4, 6/4) but have different accents and note groupings.
