Make that 12/8 unless you want the tempo to be something like 400 bpm

3/4 time with the quarter note at 188 is nothing abnormal.

On my phone this song sounded totally 12/8 (the drums were really faint), but now on my computer I can hear that it's in 3/4, so you're right.

I mean, technically speaking this is pretty constantly alternating between 6/8 and 3/4, though yeah there's nothing wrong with writing it all in 3/4 and every other bar as a mild syncopation. Could also write it all as 6/8 imo.

Is there a name for a time signature that indicates this alternation, though? I played a brass choir piece recently that listed both 3/4 and 6/8 at the beginning in the order in which they alternate, and wasn't sure if that was more common. There may have been something similar in the third movement of Grainger's Lincolnshire Posy as well, but that might have just been a shitty engraving job on long rests (I wouldn't be surprised, the entire engraving was pretty awful).

You probably shouldn't trust me, but 6/8 Emin?

Hearing 4/4, but idk. I think it changes in places.

There might be some awkward language barrier stuff in this post:
It's in 12/8 or 6/8 or whatever you prefer but there's a lot of duplet eights being played over the underlying tuplet eights rhythm (hemiols, polyrhythmic, all that stuff) making that straight 4/4 feel we occationally get. It is in B-minor, in phrygian.
