When I was younger I used to think “It’s a shame we can never hear this song outside of the Star Wars movie because we don’t have the instruments invented yet to play the song” it wasn’t till I was like 10, But I remembered it was a movie and Real instruments had to be used to make it in the first place

[@bsanmoogan]

It’s especially hard to ignore a crowd full of off-beat clapping if you’re playing a quartet

[@owades]

The audience is clapping *on* the beat, which is wrong for this style of music. It would be fine for a march, though. The orchestra musicians are correctly snapping their fingers on the offbeats, or backbeats.

[@arctrooperlee5110]

You profile picture goes well with your question

It is probably also that the audience is clapping correctly but the recording is not set up for that so it lags.

Why tf do people enjoy clapping on beats 1 and 3

[@RebelCannonClub74]

it's probably because the capture microphones are too out-of-place to properly capture their beat. It happens all the time in large theaters and arenas.

[@jonahlynx94]

I feel your pain, seems like people clap on the upbeat everywhere I go.

[@RobertMartinez-wc1oi]

bruh this is a jazz piece and in jazz pieces bass drums drum on one and three so the audience is clapping in with the bass drum

[@juandalg4907]

Robert 22 Exactly, a clap does the job of a snare. So it’s like hitting the snare every beat or hitting the snare beats 1 and 3

[@davidbcalhoun]

speeddemon847 It's more likely due to the speed of sound. If you've ever been to a baseball game you'll see the bat hit the ball first, then sometime later you'll hear the sound. Same thing happens in concert venues. In situations where the audience is super engaged and raises their hands to the beat, you can even see the sound waves make their way to the back of the stadium. Look up Queen at Live Aid and you can see that sound wave in action!

The audience is actually NOT clapping wrong or offbeat. It's due to the speed of sound (340 m/s). For instance, if the average audience member is, say, 60m away from the stage, the microphones on stage pick up the clapping sound with a delay of 2*60/340 = 0.35 second. That's enough to be disturbing.
