Yeah, beats are just numbers in disguise. A bar is a fixed interval in time, like a step on a number line, and each note is a point on that line. The tempo sets the unit length—think of it as the spacing of a grid. When you hit a syncopation you’re jumping ahead or lagging behind that grid, so the rhythm feels off‑beat. Then there’s the harmonic part: frequencies are in simple ratios, so a chord is just a set of numbers like 4:3 or 5:4, just like how a geometric series looks tidy in math. The Fourier transform of a whole track is literally breaking the sound into its constituent frequencies—exactly the same math you use for solving equations. So when a drop lands perfectly, it’s because the timing grid, frequency ratios, and amplitude envelopes all line up in a clean numerical pattern.

Glad you got it. If I ever drop a track, it’ll be all about keeping the grid clean and letting the numbers move the audience. Keep the vibe tight.
