BPM
I am looking for something like beatunes. It seems ot havea lot
of nice bells and whistles- but the key for me is BPM since i need
to set up mixes for Tai Chi CHih classes etc. In those cases I look
for BPM of 60 and under . Well.... IN looking at Adagio: music for
Meditation by Peter Dabvison most of the pieces analyse out to
around 200 BPM - like the bloody flight of the bumble bee .... yet
when listening to them they are nice slow adagio some largo ... so
what am i doing wrong in setting up the analysis--- If the answer
is nothing then Im afraid this isnt going to work for me ..
THanks
Richard
the songs analysed in adagio are
mountain 187
Garden 216.4
WInd 201.7
Tree 180
sky 141.6
Meadow 217
Temple within 167
Quiet Shadows 119.9
Towards the flow 200./1
etc

Hi,
When analyzing, make sure to set an appropriate bpm range, use the
rayshoot algorithm and make sure to turn online resources off.
Hope this helps,

Did all that and it for example instead of 201 whtihc is prestissimo it
comes out 196.1 -- I mean this is a ballad for tai chi and is not over
60-70 BPM
I like the other parts of your program but what is possibly wrong that it
gets the beats so wrong ??

OK see if this gets through I did all this and the bpm went from 201 to
196,4 or therabouts which makes no sense at all for tai chi meditation music
that comes in at about 60-70 in the real workd - what am I doing wrong .

Hi Richard!
Which algorithm are you using? (should be Rayshoot)
And what do you set the BPM range to? (if you know it's 60-70, set it to 50-100 or so, for most music 70-140 makes sense - often it's better than the "automatic" option)
What is the "online resources" for BPM set to? (set this to OFF)
What is the "replace" option set to? (set this to ON, if you actually want to overwrite values)
Hope this helps,

Hi,
now im totally lost ---- I changed it to estimate as you suggested and got
something totally reasonable= pray tell why in gods name do I have to
provide an estimate for a [program that is supposed to figure this out and
why the accuracy is dependent on my "guess"?
Thanks

Hi,
just like other software (and even humans), beaTunes sometimes confuses 60 with 120 or 70 with 140... you get the idea. So giving it a range actually improves the result.
BTW, for beatmixing this often does not matter at all, since a 60 bpm song 'matches' a 120 bpm song.
