Devon8822 Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Is there a plugin out there that can tell me the exact BPM of audio recordings of guitar riffs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buzwah Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Have you tried the BPM plugin in Logic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fisherking Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 you can also check out the free "BPM Analyzer" here: http://mixmeister.com/download.html i use this sometimes, nice not to have to open Logic to check a tempo... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devon8822 Posted January 11, 2012 Author Share Posted January 11, 2012 I did try the BPM plugin, either im using it wrong or it cant handle something like a guitar riff, that is not perfectly in time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devon8822 Posted January 11, 2012 Author Share Posted January 11, 2012 hmmm will that mix meister thing work for parts of a song. I have a song that changes tempo slightly for different parts of the song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rev. Juda Sleaze Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Probably easiest to do tap tempo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Robin Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 I did try the BPM plugin, either im using it wrong or it cant handle something like a guitar riff, that is not perfectly in time. ....I've been using Logic's BPM plug-in on an imported AIF track which has a number of keyboard synths etc prerecorded (I'm recording a lead 'sax' over the top) and I find that the info which the plug-in displays in Advanced is accurate because I later checked the bpm with my friend's original. I can see that a standalone BPM analyzer would be useful to establish a bpm before deciding whether to work on a song in Logic. So thanks, fisherking, for the link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhys Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 If i have a complexed bit of audio I find opening logic bpm plugin on an exs24 and playing along with a kick or snare and take the bpm from that, great for working out bpm's without importing the audio into logic. You can even mute the output so you can't hear the exs2 then just tap along to any song from your iTunes, youtube, whatever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rhys Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 Thanks for that widget, I've ditched my other method now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fisherking Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 i used to use the bpm widget; think it stopped working in 10.6, and DEF not working here in 10.7... try the app i linked to above if you're on lion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhys Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 Confirmed working here on 10.7.2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not unhappy with Logic's BPM plug-in. hmmm..rhys above says it DOES work in 10.7.2. did u try the freebie app i linked earlier in this thread? EDIT: widget seems to work in lion after all (but oddly, for me, not in 10.6) 2 different apps: the widget is good for tapping tempo; with the app, put an audio file in the window and it determines bpm. so both useful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
