It brings that backbeat feel to your music. Accenting beats two and four is all you need to do. It’s used often in reggae and jazz music. • Suspension syncopation happens when the accents fall on beats two and four. This is like even note syncopation, but the note duration carries over beats one and three. • Offbeat syncopation occurs when you begin to accent the offbeat eighth notes. Use this type of syncopation to add spice to your rhythms. • Anticipated bass is the last type of syncopation. It happens when you accent the offbeat eighth notes while carrying over the note duration to the strong beats. It works very well on bass lines to anticipate the next chord or section. It helps keep the music moving forward. • ------------------ • Try LANDR now: https://bit.ly/2WppOwI • Subscribe to LANDR on YouTube: https://bit.ly/2BcY9US • Follow the LANDR blog to get the best tips, tools and tutorials for producers: https://blog.landr.com/ • Instagram: / landrmusic • Twitter: / landr_music • -------------------- • #Rhythm • #syncopation • #productiontutorial • #composing • #ableton • #landr
