Re: BPM finder

your best bet is to go out and buy a metronome.

all the online ones are crappy, and usually dont give the right ones, especially if theres BPM changes.

Re: BPM finder

This isn't true, as MixMeister can save you some time if it does get the right one. And after using it enough you can identify when to just round up or down anyway. If there are BPM changes then yeah, get a metronome, but even that won't always help when you're stepping a classical piece or something, with multiple BPM changes per beat (it can get insane).

I use MixMeister BPM Analyzer. If anyone else wants to suggest a better one, go for it.

Re: BPM finder

MixMeister BPM Analyzer, round to the nearest 0.05, adjust as necessary if the song still goes off (unusual songs or filling in songs can throw it off, and if it's nonconstant bpm the number it gives you is essentially meaningless). Not perfect but usually close.

Re: BPM finder

Mixmeister or DDReam studio is the way to go :]

Re: BPM finder

MixMeister As others have stated works well enough to get the job done.

most of the time mixmeister gets within 0.05 seconds very quickly with no effort needed

you only need to time and divide if that doesn't work

Open up Sound Forge and listen

Re: BPM finder

Hey, someone else that uses Sound Forge. Awesome. Although I don't use it for this purpose, there is a way to figure out the BPM of a selection of audio using Sound Forge. I forget the exact chain of commands though.

xD ok i'll try it...i used to do it by a met, but it took a bit of time. If its that accurate then i should be ok...most of the songs i step don't have too difficult of a BPM change...as for ear, its really hard first time through...
