Time signatures

How do you figure out time signatures for a song. Let's say something I wrote has a strumming pattern of...

D = Down

U = Up

X = Muted

D U X X D U (Figured I'd keep the pattern simple so it's easier to understand)

How would you figure out what time signature that's in?

We need more info than this. A clip possibly? Down/Up tells us nothing when it comes to the duration of each note.
Although assuming that each stroke occupies one beat than this would in 6/8 or possibly 3/4.

I might be blind but I couldnt find a link. There's "songs available for d/l" but you can't click on them.

You should be able to download it.

Maybe I'm just retarded (that's probably it).

You should be able to figure it out...

Wow that didn't help at all. Just give me a direct link to the song.

Oh I got it you have to sign up! Yeah, I'm not doing that sorry.

Fair enough. Thanks for the help...?

Ok so you guilt trip me into signing up, I do, and then the mp3's don't work. Get an angelfire or purevolume account.

Haha, son of a bitch. I'm glad that I can guilt trip people, that's a new found talent of mine apparently.

I'll get an angelfire site. Hold on...

Do you have AIM?

Nope. My computer doesn't get along with it or anything else for that matter.

Shit. Alright, fair enough.

I'm too lazy to sign up for that angelfire account right now. It's just not loading right now...

I'll get it posted eventually.
