bpm counter (beats per minute)

(1/1)

djbiggboy:
As a DJ it would be cool to know what the bpm's of a track were that i was listening to. by going into the plugin section while listening to a track and manually tapping on the select button in time with the music a program would calculate the beats (or taps) per minute and display them. I'm no programmer but this doesn't sound to hard to do. The way I do it normally is by using a stopwatch but its very difficult. Any feedback would be appreciated.

djbiggboy:
having read that link markun, That post is referring to an automated program which would require complex programming and a drain on the cpu. I was thinking along the lines of something simpler.

Strife89:
If you just want to tap out the BPM yourself, use the metronome plugin. ;)

NicolasP:
strife89: the metronome plugin can't work while music is playing. This defeats the purpose of the OP's request.
