FabesParticipantHi,

djshadesukParticipantIf you are referring to the BPM of acapellas available on this website then I believe the BPM data will become ‘visable’ after you have reached 50 posts in the Acapellas4U forum.

ElconParticipantlol would probs be a good idea

MaNCaLLeDPuCkParticipantlol, i’ve been wondering about the same thing, i always put a simple beat on fruity loops, put the auto detect, then start looping it until it matches, isn’t there a way to know the BPM?
and i’m not talking about only acapellas from here…AdSense 336x280December 19, 2007 at 5:01 am #639732
VocalzParticipantI’ve used Acid Pro beatwizard to manually find the right bpm of the acapella.
It works a treat for those with a trained ear.AdSense 336x280December 19, 2007 at 7:24 pm #639773

DJ Bobby VParticipantAt fifty posts you get access to the preview and bpm features.

texasskoolboiParticipanti dont know about those 50 posts but if you have the original track and/or instrumental you can use those. i personally get most of my acapellas along with promos.
I beatmap all on acid starting with the instrumental.
once i get to the acapella i already know the bpm so i just beatmap to that bpm..

JanidadParticipantI put it in VirtualDJ and then tap the logical rhytm with the spacebar.
Or you do it old school style by pushing "=" on your calculator one minute long after tipping "1+1" 😉AdSense 336x280January 3, 2008 at 2:20 pm #640731

junoParticipantSimple!…..Find the original track drop it in . I can usually do it by ear but when all else fails the original track, vocal + beat, will show you tha light brother!

DJFusilliParticipantI’ve often found the suggested bpm’s to be erroneous, as is suggested in the disclaimer (you’ll also often find that the 2 different acapellas of the same song with have different bpm’s listed, even though they’re actually the same tempo). So i just use a digital metronome with a tap tempo. I can get the bpm within seconds this way without hassle.
Old skool, but effective nonetheless.

smckechnieParticipantI have tried most of the above but the only why I seem to get it right is to put the acapella on a cd and the beat mix it in to my DAW from CD Player.

Ditto. That’s rules too much. Great question Fabes.

ThaEmbacyParticipanti use a file not sure of the name found online that only finds the bpm
AdSense 336x280January 20, 2008 at 1:23 am #641573
BeauZayParticipanti didn’t even know of the 50 post thing. i suppose i’m on my way.

DoverParticipantthats actually really awesome

junoParticipantPeople – are you remixing tracks when you’ve never heard the original!? Shame on you – Listen to the original song & where words fall on the beat – that tells you where to place the vocals on your beat. If you’re still having trouble then buy the original song for like 99 cents or download it off a P2P program & drop it in Mixmeister (link is above, its free). Its really not that complicated + tapping requires a very steady hand & will always produce some error in speed.
If you’re talking about live DJing then you need a good ear – obviously. Still, the original track would tell you how to match the vocal – use your beatmatching skills & change the speed. Thats the only way as your automatic bpm finder will not do the trick unless there is a beat for it to focus on.

junoParticipantI almost forgot – There’s a tutorial that I wrote a few years back for this site when I was a mod.

acheadKeymasterthis site is quite good to get the average bpm then all you need to do is tweet it a bit after http://web.forret.com/tools/bpm_count.asp

If there is any background noise or beats it can throw the calculation off.
