Cycles in the musical structure<\/h2>\n

To begin with, cycles in musical structure have a name all their own. We call them introduction, build-up, break, drop or outro. These cycles are made up of a well-defined number of bars. More precisely, a defined number of beats. It all depends on the structure of the rhythm itself. If you want to improve your mixes or learn to mix<\/a>You need to know and identify the cycles in the musical structure.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Composing a song :<\/h3>\n

the song contains cycles.<\/p>\n

Cycles contain measurements.<\/p>\n

Measures contain beats.<\/p>\n

The composer is free to compose his or her own piece. It's not uncommon to see a cycle with an odd number of bars.<\/p>\n

For example:<\/p>\n

1 cycle of 8 bars with a 4\/4 rhythm will produce 32 beats.<\/p>\n

However, the composer can add a bar, resulting in 36 beats instead of 32.<\/p>\n

Today, we often see this practice in electronic music. As a DJ, you need to know your tracks inside out, especially when the producer adds beats to the cycles.<\/p>\n

Example in a DJ mix:<\/h3>\n

Let's imagine you're linking one piece with another, and the current bar is 36 beats long. Your next piece will start 4 beats too early. In this case, you need to start the second piece 4 beats later than normal.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
