Is there a 4/8 time signature?
4/2 and 4/8 are also simple quadruple. Notice that a time signature in simple meter will always have a 2, 3, or 4 for the top number. While beats in simple meter are divided into two notes, beats in compound meter are divided into three.
How many beats is a 4/8 time signature?
4/8 means you have four beats counted as eighth notes, each foot tap is an eighth note (a quarter note now takes 2 beats).
How will you differentiate the songs with 4 and 8 time signature?
So in 4/4 time, the composer imagines the measure divided into four beats, while in 8/8 time, the composer imagines the measure divided into eight beats. The difference is less in the strict timing and more in the feel or pulse of the music.
