1:25 you don't need 30 seconds you just need a stopwatch and you press start and stop in your stopwatch with the beat. Here are the details: The way I calculate it without any metronome (software or hardware) is, admittedly, a bit nerdy. Using a stopwatch app, most mobiles come with one already, just go to settings>apps>stopwatch open the stopwatch app then 1) listen to the song, tap the beat, get into it, until you're tapping it accurately most likely, the song will be in four beats to a bar (4/4) and then 2) with while you sing out the beat or tap it, quickly go to the stopwatch app an pres the start/stop button on the beat twice to start and stop the stopwatch 3) Look at the time elapsed between the two beats 4) Open a calculator divide the number 6000 (i.e. the number of hundreds of a second contained in a minute) by the two digits on the right of your stopwatch after the seconds in this case my stopwatch gave me the reading 00:00.53 which is 00 minutes 00 seconds and 53 hundreds of a second so I divide 6000 (i.e. the amount of hundreds of a second in one minute) by 53 hundreds of a second (i.e. duration of beat in this song is 53 hundreds of a second) and this division equals 113.207.... beats in a minute with 53 hundreds of a second of duration) ..... and you round this off to the nearest integer 113 bpm! aaaaaaaaahhhh (sigh) 😍😍😍 maths 😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣

This is the way i have done it since 1980, i watch these new dj's slap a record on the turntable and they don't even know how many BPM the song is, they just wild guess that it will be close. That shit would drive me bats. I got my records divided by beats. It starts from low and goes up, this way i can pull any record out of that specific pile area and i know they will be in close proximity.

@djhenleys Electronic music is generally always 4/4 time, and it is really easy to count out a 4/4 beat to dubstep. You probably naturally tap your foot to the 4/4 rhythm. You just have to count out those beats instead of the kicks, which maybe all over the place in a good dubstep tune.

Thanks. Yes, that's pretty much how I've been trying to get it turned around in my mind. I play by ear, so sometimes I have a tendency to sort of ignore the terminology, etc and develop my own distorted view of an instrument :-) Thanks for the clarification. I appreciate it. -Steve

Hi Johnathan, I'm not a DJ, but I've been hooked on your videos for a week now because it's always something I've always wanted to experiment with. Anyway, I have a bit of a n0ob question... Is there any particular reason why, on turntables, the speed slider is 'up to decrease speed' and 'down to increase speed'? I just found that a little odd and counter intuitive. Maybe I'm missing something? (I had assumed that it was the opposite) -Thanks

hip hop beats are pretty difficult considering it usually doesn't have a straight forward combo of bass drums. what i do (which is pretty accurate) is find the the rhythm of the beat (including bass drum and snares) count it for 30 seconds. divide by 2. multiply by 2. then multiply by 2 again.

You totally could do that, but the more time you spend counting ahead of time, the more accurate your final BPM will be. It may not seem obvious or a big concern but if your "true" BPM is a weird number or fraction, your counted BPM might be off by 1 or 2 or 5, which could make a difference if you've counted 2 tracks, you totally think both your grooves are locked but halfway through a 40 second mix, they start flamming and you're boned.

@sk8ajoe8915 жыл бұрын
i.e.: To know the BPM of a loop that lasts 6 seconds long and is playing in 3:4 time signature; BPM = [(60/6) * (3*4)] BPM = 120 beats per minute From a practical perspective, you're not going to tap/clap hands/dance to something that is 7:8 but from a technical stand-point - it can prove quite useful. :D Cheers.
