Hi All,
Still quite new to this, I did a bit of a search through the forums, but couldn't find anything.
A bit of a two barreled question...
Firstly, is there any software available that allows me to easily calculate the BPM of my entire music library?
And more importantly, I'm starting on my first mashups (more in a girl talk-esque style, with 10+ sampled songs per track), and I'm just having a bit of trouble fitting the Acapella's to the beat (which is 125 bpm) The tracks I've used so far all fit great, but whenever I try to adjust an acapella to the correct BPM it sounds terrible, and still often doesn't fit.
The software I'm using is:
Ableton
Sound Forge (using the pitch shift function)
Freeware BPM calculator (which you enter current BPM and desired BPM and it gives you the Pitch adjustment required to match it).
I have also tried Time Shift in Sound Forge, but it still doesn't seem to fit to match with the beats in Ableton.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks! |

| the best thing i found to do so the acca not tampereed with to much is to put the vocal in acid find the bpm of vocal change acid background to that bpm then render the vocal out so when u change the tempo of the track the vocal changes with it but seems to sound more natural |

| Mixmeister BPM Analyzer is what you're after for free BPM analysis. Be aware, however, that BPMs are calculated based on the number of 'beats' the software detects in the file... BPMs detected from acapellas or other types of music without distinct beats can be wildly inaccurate. |

| With acapellas, I always try (if possible) to get the original song or instrumental and get that BPM b/c of what otg said, there are no beats in a straight vocal. Usually I can find the song or an instro if I have the acapella and yea mixmeister has the bpm tracker but I prefer just counting it out, playing a loop (look for zero-crossings), and then see if the BPM and offset you have works a minute down in the song. If its still workin througout the song you know you got the BPM right. But maybe thats a little overboard or what you can do if you are just stuck on an incorrect bpm |
