the basic structure of electronic dance music-the concept of -LOOP. In recent years, all electronic dance music has a certain structure and rules, no matter how complicated and changeable it is, it has a certain structure to follow. The same is true for electronic dance music with drums: one beat is equal to one word, eight words (beats) are one sentence, and four sentences are one paragraph (that is, 4×8=32 beats), so it will not be too difficult to find the basic structure of dance music. It's very easy to identify the drums if they are beaten every time, but it's not so easy to identify them if they are broken beats or intermissions without drums, but they are still carried out according to the basic form of four people patting a paragraph.
VI. Description of BPM
I. What is BPM
1. Definition of BPM:
BPM is the abbreviation of BESAT PER MINUTE, which means "the number of beats per minute", that is, the total number of drums per minute in disco dance music.
2. How to calculate BPM:
BPM is generally calculated in the way of 8 beats per bar of music, which can be divided into:
(1) Count the number of beats per minute with a watch or a horse watch.
(2) Use TEMPO (beat) on synthesizers, drums and other equipment to calculate.
(3) Use a professional mixer such as VESTAX and NUMARK or a BPM counter special for CD players to calculate.
(4) Calculate by other methods such as minute-and-second multiplication and computer. For example, if the BPM of a song is 12 beats, the BPM value is 12×8=96 beats, then the BPM of this song is 96 beats.
3, the role of BPM:
DJ's main job is to connect each dance perfectly, and arrange the BPM of the dance music from slow to fast, changing one dance music in a cyclical and gradual way, improving and mastering the mood of the dancers. To achieve this goal, in addition to learning to choose the appropriate dance music, and make sure that the BPM of the next connected dance music should not exceed 1 beats. Generally speaking, an experienced DJ will choose BPM within plus or minus 3-4 beats. Although the turntable can be adjusted to the plus or minus beat point, when BPM is related to a lot, the dance music will go out of tune when the speed is pulled to the highest or lowest position by the variable-speed high-speed parts of the turntable. Therefore, it is very important to properly choose the BPM spacing of each dance music when mixing and connecting dance music.
4. Every DJ should not only know the importance of BPM, but also know the importance of "BODY RYTHEM".
literally, "body rhythm" means the rhythm, rhythm and sense of melody of the body, which is as important as BPM, because every DJ needs to use "body rhythm" to count the beats and experience the rhythm cycle when he encounters some drums that are not obvious in rhythm or strange in the hall.
