this one is very accurate.

just wondering
how would you guys do it, on audio editors.

or even better from a record str8 into sampler(like a s950, mp or sp), and you wanted to timestretch among other things.. l

I use this to BPM my records:

www.pyramidedata.dk

I've got a Pioneer DJM-500 mixer which has a pretty accurate BPM counter, but better than that is the Red Sound Micro BPM counter which I've got on the headphone out of my soundcard.

For analysing the BPM of samples I use AudioFinder, a Mac OSX sample organiser. It has a neat feature which adds the BPM to the sample name so you can then find suitable samples by searching for the BPM.

Formula 60/sample length in secs * 4 quarter notes. For example 60 divided by 2.56 secs=23.44 X 4 beats=93.7 BPM using a 1 bar measure.

^^^^^^
that's japanese intelligence for ya!!

now thats what i am talking bout man.

many respects man.

Hit www.versiontracker.com with the term "BPM" for a free BPM tool for your favorite OS. I got "BPM inspector" for OSX cos it integrates with iTunes and writes the BPM to the MP3's ID3 tag. Use it to BPM my vinyl as well.

BPM tag this.......

I notice none of us suggested the tap tempo feature on the MPC ( on the 2000 & 2000xl anyway ... )

It's on the 60 and every mpc as well.

... but it doesn't really work very well.

in other mode u can set it to 4 beats instead of 2 and it has better resloution. This is on the 2kxl

And the 60 as well

Works great on mine.
Set to 4.
