What is a "downbeat"?
A downbeat is the first beat of a musical measure and is typically the strongest or most emphasized beat. It marks the start of a new measure and often provides a sense of stability and grounding within the music. In a time signature like 4/4, the downbeat occurs on the first beat of each measure. Musicians often use the downbeat as a reference point to keep time and structure their rhythms.
