About this tool
Listen to a song and tap along with the beat. The BPM counter averages your last taps to give a steady tempo, plus half time and double time, so you can set your DAW, metronome or delay to match.
Questions
How many taps do I need?
Four taps give a first reading; 8 to 12 taps give a very steady one.

Some songs feel like 70 BPM or 140 BPM depending on how you count. Pick the one your DAW or DJ software uses.
Can it find the BPM from a file automatically?
Yes, use the free Key & BPM Finder: drop a song and it reads the key and tempo for you.
Is it free?
Yes, completely free with no sign-up.
