acapellaKeymasterdefine:bpm – beats per minute, the unit of measure that defines the tempo of music.
This is an Exclusive enhancement made to ACAPELLAS4U – the bpm data is only a vailable to ‘Special’ members – who have mande donations to support what we do here and to members with what we consider to be a half-decent post count.
Thanks to the amazing FREE BPM Analyzer tool from our friends at and Taner (Freelancer PHP/MySQL) we’ve been able to carry out this much sought-after request from our members.
Hope you all enjoy this new addition.
Regards,
acapella.

JuggernautParticipant….you’re a mad, mad, mad man…
and it’s a mad world we live in these days…
…executable files!!!! eeeeek! *runs in sheer terror* i know i’m lazy but i don’t think the analyzer is mac friendly. That said i reckon if it’s put into soundtrack or loop utility it’ll pick the bpm up pronto.
if anyone else has either of those two on their mac and want to try it and report back would be cool….i’d do it but king kong just trashed my room and tinkerbell is having a fit.

Def. Con. OneParticipantcan we have them in rex2 format next please?
AdSense 336x280October 5, 2007 at 1:19 pm #634692
otgParticipantNice addition, thanks. Here’s a couple of questions:
1. I usually know the BPM of the ‘pella I’m uploading, and it’s often different to that which is reported by Mixmeister. Can we have an (optional) field on the upload form into which we can enter accurate BPMs?2. What’s the appropriate mechanism for reporting inaccurate BPMs?
3. Why do my questions sound so officious?

JuggernautParticipant….hence the emoticon to show that you shouldn’t take it so seriously.
He wasn’t passing judgement. if THAT was criticism then most of what i say is probably borderlining dictatorship (or something silly like that)
Chillax, it’s only the interwebz.

anisinaParticipant= Tongue in cheek. In other ways means a joke with an essence of truth. In this instance, do what most others would do.
adieu to modding duties = farewell/goodbye to modding duties.
To clarify, it means I’m no longer a Moderator, but the badge is still there until I get restored as a normal member. Why? Because I have enjoyed the (accidental) break from it and don’t wish to return. It’s a position that takes up considerable time, responsibility, and is mostly unappreciated by many. It also restricts what I want to say and how I want to say it.
So there we go.

djtopcatParticipantGood idea to implement unfortunately The analyzer is not always accurate. In fact I’ve been using it for awhile now and here’s my final analysis
1) It works great for programmed drum loops and songs with programmed drums and that’s about it great for house,breaks,some hip hop downtempo etc
2) It is virtually useless for bpming acapellas unless it’s a diy with faint drums in the back but I wouldn’t trust the results in other words never use it to bpm your pellas!
3) It does not work very well on songs with live drums unless the drums are very loud in the mix
4) It will often be mistaken on what you would think would be a easy 4-4 song
much like Ableton’s warper lolPersonally for me the best way to measure the bpm on your pellas is to download any number of free tap algorithm bpm counters I use Winbpm shareware
It’s about as easy a tool to use as it gets
You listen to your pella and tap the keyboard to the tempo you think it is it gets a hell of a lot closer to the true bpm than Mixmeister that’s all I know hahaAdSense 336x280October 12, 2007 at 2:19 pm #635032
extremetraxxParticipantSick analyzer. But again, is there a way to report that the analyzer is off. I’ve got a few acapellas that I have beatmapped (once you get the hang of it, it’s pretty easy on acid), and a few of the aca’s that say a bpm on here aren’t correct. Mad props for making our job easier Aca4U! Thanks, but I think we should let you know if some of them are off. Either way, a great item for the site!!

As of yet there is no system to cater for members amending or even adding their BPM data to the database. Rome wasn’t built in a day

acapellaKeymaster[quote quote="JusticeBeatz":2r070w74]For future reference (if u are to make the BPM’s available for everyone) u should allow for you to "search" for songs by their BPM’s as well (I don’t know if that is available for Donating/Paying Members or not). Knowing that i remix alot, and searching for acapellas it would help to be able to cypher through songs by their bpm to match them to ur mixes!
Sry if someone already mentioned this idea as well

Hi JusticeBeatz,
Good point you have made here and perhaps we need to make it clearer on this point, about the access to BPM data within the collection.
Certainly as far as I understand it, it is only currently available to members who have made a donation. In the same way that we have access to the preview feature for members, this is an ehancement account upgrade as we like to call it . To offer the BPM to all 54,000 + members would be to much of an additional load on the server, we have to bare that in mind too.
Please advise though if you have any ideas as to how we can make this any clearer. I often overlook the detail as obvisouly I have super-user rights so I forget what new members/non donating members see.
Regards,
acapella
