One of the few > bad things about the players. most of bpm counters work on a very basic principle - level detecotr and timer after a lowpass filter. of course they don't like r&b, someone has yet to makle a bpm counter that works well for r&b, drum'n'bass, breakbeat or any non-4-to-the-floor style. the best bpm counter is still a pencil, notebook and a stopwatch  -- Tech Support: "I need you to boot the computer."

But at least most of them have a "tap" feature where you take over for the automatic counting. I DJd for YEARS listening to the song with the Pitch at 0% and counting the beats while watching my watch. The longer you count, the more accurate you are. I recommend a minimum of 30 seconds of counting (multiply by two). If you have a PDA running the Palm OS, there is a GREAT and FREE application that I now use to BPM my tunes before I get to the gigs. It is called "Intervals?". You can download it at www.palmgear.com (do a search for that name and it will come up somewhere in the list). |
