OT: Bars on a sequencers vs. Bars for a writer

[DEVIZE]

Hello DUC,

This is thread is mainly to clarify the difference between a lyricist 'bar' (some may call it 'line') versus bars on a sequencers (i.e. PT or MPC sequencers).

My questions...

Are bars the same for lyricist and producers?

Are 'bars' on PT or an Akai MPC equal to 'bars or lines' for a writer?

example.... a 16 bar on PT or the MPC is equlivilent to ___ bars or lines written on paper.


I don't know if this may apply to all but certainly for the dudes that record or produce music for Hip Hop or R&B.


All comments are welcomed.

Thanks in advance.
