no its americans are fat

Considering most of us use DAW's, our music is literally all a string of 1's and 0's at least, let alone breaking things down into regions, quantization, tempo's, swing's, etc. So yes, I use math quite often

No math haha I've had enough of that already from school, at least now I won't have to take it anymore.

-as mentioned figuring out harmonics (for eq purposes)
-song structure (try not to but im too scientifically orientated sigh)

yeah i use loads of maths. i got one of these bad boyz;

best of both world music and maths

and then, you know, writing in 8 and 16 bar phrases.

music is based in math, with root=4 and root-10; sorry y'all, that's an inarguable fact.

yep summed it up for me

divide and conquer, then multiply

oh if that counts as 'using maths' then yeah i do that shit, thats standard.
i thought they meant hard maths.

In terms of playing around with musical patterns and finding a balance, maths is at the core of music. Which is really the only extent to which I use maths in music.....But as soon as music lacks that pattern based structure it sooner becomes noise.

I remember back in my metal days sitting down and analysing beat patterns of Meshuggah wondering wtf was with their syncopated rhythms and how the fuck they came up with their shit..........

Mathcore FTW!

I've used a calculator while making music a few times

The "yup" is catching up from about 12 behind the "no's". Woo!

i can count to 4
