Greetings, DJs and train spotters (choo choo). Do you want to find the BPM of
some of the tunes in your vinyl or CD collection for mixing or joining sample
loops? Of course you do. And this here's the program to help you do it.
Just play the tune and hit the Return key on each beat. As you do this the
BPM and 4/4 bar display are shown in a little window. If you're going through
a long bit of the tune without beats or you fall out of time, hit Space then
start again on the first beat of a 4/4 bar using Return. The time in between
the Space and Return won't be counted. After a couple of minutes you've got
your BPM, so hit Esc to tell it that you've finished before the next tune.
If that's not enough, you can ask for the BPM values on speeds from -8% to
+8% to be worked out and displayed or sent to the clipboard (and from there
on to a word processor or something). It's worked out using the BPM you just
took at 0%. You can use this to see if you've got a good chance of mixing two
tunes (yeah, I know, but I've just started DJing and sometimes it helps me
for the tricky ones, it might do for you too) or joining two sample loops.
So, what does it work on?
