needle ninja Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 So last night I decided I wanted to remix an old track, but I have no idea what the bpm was. I know Sonar reports a wrong number, and there are no snare drums or things with a rapid attack to line up. This drove me crazy last night.

buzzman Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 use a program that messures BPM? Don't know any programs that JUST does that, but i know that mixmeister fusion (EAZZY trackmixing program) does it! So you must be able to find something that can do the same.. Or just download mixmeister Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snapinho Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 if its not looping perfectly why not strech it untill it does? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frozen dream Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 then you mess up the freshness Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
needle ninja Posted June 24, 2008 Author Share Posted June 24, 2008 if its not looping perfectly why not strech it untill it does?Yes, I did not want to change the origional Bpm. It was sequenced in a 400x600? pixel lcd screen on my old Yamaha W7 in 1999. I have heard that hardware sequencers have slightly better timing although that may be a rumour. Anyway I will check on that again tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
