Need Help ASAP with Counting Bars ETC.

[Soulful-Alibaster]

Ok, this is the scenario, on my soundclick this dude chose a beat he want's me to make a record with him... We are working over the net, and staying in Contact Via E-Mail...
Now this is what's up...

My Beat sound's slow, but in actuality is at 130 BPM... He want's it in this format...


32 Bars, 8 Bar Hook, 16 Bars, 8 Bar Hook, 12 Bars

Ok, now I know that's not the normal Format, but that's what he wants... Ok, now to the question... How am I supposed to know how many Bars there are? Does it change with the amount of loops?

Each of my loops for the beat are 2 Bars long, at 130 BPM, how many would I put together to get 32 bars for rapping? 64???

Thanks in advance.

you could NOT loop it and make the indiviual sequences as many bars as you want or need to be

2 bars at 130 BPM = 1 bar at 65 BPM.... remember, you've got your metronome working twice as fast.

This is the way I count it: In one bar there are two snare hits. In two bars there would be 4 snare hits. so isolate a full loop with 2 snare hits and you will get one bar. this could be a lot trickier when it comes to south hip hop though

Thanks alot Generator.

Sorry, but what does Metronome mean?

Clicking pendulum that indicates the exact tempo of a piece of music.

Were you serious or being sarcastic?

well,if you want a 16 bar verse,then obviuosly you need 8 of your 2 bar loops.
16(length wanted) divided by 2(length of loop)=8.simple maths really.
mite be a lil more complicated if you got a longer loop(like 8 bars or somthin),but fairly easy really.

^^^^^
actually if I'm reading this right he has the beat doubletimed, so for 16 bars he'll need16 of the 2 bar loops. The actual tempo is 65 bpm

Put 16 loops together for 32 bars rapping, 32 loops together for 64 bars rapping.
