Basilisk Posted December 13, 2005 Posted December 13, 2005 Does anyone know what the deal is with many old tracks being composed in fractional BPMs? 144.2, 147.8, 133.5 and so on... funny old equipment? Quote
Stalker Posted December 13, 2005 Posted December 13, 2005 Could be the bad resolution used on the old equipments... or could be the lack of precision and an eficient method on defining the tempo. I really dont know, althou i am quite sure that this fractionals wasnt desired by the artists Quote
AdzOm Posted December 13, 2005 Posted December 13, 2005 back when you couldnt make that sample fit in to a flat bpm they had to use decimal points.... before timestretching and also when timestretching was not as good as today's...also because it was all hardware apart from the computer sequencer. perhaps somone can give you a broader perspective but that gives you the gist.
