True. But if you know how notes are supposed to be spaced then you will get a better grasp on reading notes which leads to: You figure out the timing easier and you can tell what is offset or swung.
Most common note spaces in IIDX:
4ths
8ths
12ths
16ths
32nds
48ths
What does that mean? It means there is X amount of notes if they were single notes per measure.
Some examples:
8ths
12ths
16ths
32nds
48ths
You will probably have to get used to how certain spacing feels and looks, mostly 8ths, 16ths and maybe 32nds.
12ths dont appear very often except in a few songs such as like gigadelic, Bitter Chocolate Striker, The Deep Striker, The Fallen, Ending of Shion, Ending of RE:Generation etc.
32nds are like the drumrolls of Liberation another and Fake Time another
48ths is stuff like Diavolo and Thor's Hammer
From this you can combine a songs bpm and key sounds to get more accurate timing.
A song that is 150 bpm with the same spacing will all have the same timing and so forth.
A song that is 300 bpm that has spacing of 8th notes will have the same timing as a song that is 150 bpm with 16th notes etc.
Once you get familiar with spacing you can now figure out what notes are offset or swung.
Hey great blog! I've been reading it and there's some great tips for learning to play. Two things I'm wondering about still is 1: White number, I've seen "top players" using everything from like 100-450. 2: 1P/2P side. I've always been playing 1P side (right handed) but getting up to around level 10 I feel like scratching is really becoming hard and I'm thinking about switching for a week to try out 2P. Would be great if you had something to say about those topics. Thanks for all the help!
