Dubstep composition

#dubstep

Question: why does a lot of dubstep songs drop the bass at 55 seconds?

Most Dubstep @ 140 bpm. Drops at the standard 32 bars. 32 bars = 128 beats. 140 beats per minute = 2.3 beats per second. 128 beats / 2.3 beats per second = 55 seconds!  WHOA WHAT'S MATH. Most drops in dubstep will happen around the 55 second mark.

Depending on the dubstep beats per second, that determines when the drop is. When you use 4/4, 32 bars of music is very common. It is also known as the AABA form. It also makes it very easy to DJ and mix, and that's why it's so common.

Sometimes in life, there are certain things that are just feel better with a formula. A musical tone is eight full tones above or below an another tone, with twice or half as many vibrations per second as the other tone. Perfect 5th sounds good because everytime the 5th note makes 3 vibrations, the 1st one makes 2. A perfect fourth has a pitch ratio of 4:3

That's the answer to life.
