How good are you at guessing BPM? Posted on: 21.08.2012 by Shonda Soulier When I'm listening to random songs on shuffle or streaming radio I like to try to guess the BPM of each track. I've gotten pretty good at it and I can guess within +/- 2 BPM. Does anyone else do this?

Lashawn Maycock 22.08.2012	Originally Posted by Cybertrash Silly Propellerheads, create a TB-303 App - Doesn't include it in Reason -.- Indeed, I also hope at some day Props will integrate Recycle in to Reason but won't hold my breath! Reason and the free desktop version of ReBirth do talk to each other though.
Evelyn Navarijo 22.08.2012	Originally Posted by backtothefront ReBirth, superb. Amazing what some people produced using the program. It just shows one doesn't need all the latest and greatest VST's to create good electronic music IMO. Silly Propellerheads, create a TB-303 App - Doesn't include it in Reason -.-

Nellie Vill 21.08.2012	Originally Posted by liam1895 Count the first 15 seconds so you dont lose track and times it by 4. In my opinion its probably the most accurate and easiest method. Every time ive done it ive not been far off. The only problem with that is my attention span.

Shonda Soulier 22.08.2012	Originally Posted by synthet1c How do you know if you are right when listening to your ipod though? Good question. I only use Spotify and Slacker mobile apps for my music so I don't have any tracks on my iPhone. Most times if I have a data connection I'll just Google "Track Name BPM" and 9 times out of 10 I get the answer. Or I'll count with the stopwatch on my phone. Rarely do I make a note to check later...it's just a game
Nellie Vill 21.08.2012	Originally Posted by Jack Bastard All the time I'm pretty good at it too, all those years listening to the default rebirth patterns have paid off. I used to but since I started producing now I'm like "Oh thats a sawtooth wave in that lead, there's a squarewave with some distortion" etc.

Johnsie Kingrea 21.08.2012	I find the biggest thing that helps is just remembering songs you already know as a reference i.e. knowing that Snoop's "Drop it Like It's Hot" is 92 BPM you can start to compare that track with the one your listening too.
Reda Holdsworth 21.08.2012	I'm pretty damn good. But when i'm off I'm way off.
Dorcas Bassignani 21.08.2012	rana june is the best at guessing bpms @ 9m 40s she knows it's about 124.4 bpm
Brooke Cary 21.08.2012	My original training was as a percussionist so as long as its not lower than 80 I can usually get it. Otherwise I need to look at my watch in order to judge the tempo.

Ossie Pooley 21.08.2012	I tag my music on my ipod with their BPM in the album section. Fun little game to play.
Jonathan Chiuchiolo 21.08.2012	I can guess 110bpm/128bpm/140bpm/180bpm 99% of the time LOL everything is made at the same bpm's these days so if you listen to the style you know the bpm... I only know 90bpm "westcoast" hiphop, never really played hip hop to get familiar with it though. How do you know if you are right when listening to your ipod though?
Reginia Tramble 21.08.2012	I can but I alwaysbhave to look at a watch or something to keep track of seconds
Ossie Pooley 21.08.2012	It's definitely something that improves the longer you do it. I can get most things fairly easy, some hip hop just completely confuses me though.
Arline Receveur 21.08.2012	Count the first 15 seconds so you dont lose track and times it by 4. In my opinion its probably the most accurate and easiest method. Every time ive done it ive not been far off.
Shonda Soulier 21.08.2012	Yeah I mean, if I'm listening to Tech House radio there's not much guesswork, but Hip Hop, Pop, Classic Rock...
