detected automatically – the total BPM can therefore deviate from song to
song.
For more difficult audio material, we recommend using the "Tapping input"
mode. Either the "T" key must be pressed or the "Tap tempo" button must
be clicked with the mouse in time with the music. With repeated tapping of
the tempo correction button, one should keep an eye on the color in the
BPM display. In the "unlocked" condition (red), the tapping is not in time
with the music. One should tap until the "locked" condition is displayed.
After a short time, you will hear if the result is correct via the metronome.
Subsequently, offbeat correction takes place as required. If the detected
quarter note beats lie around the length of an eighth note (transferred
behind the real positions of the quarter note beats), one or more alternatives
can be selected from the onbeat/offbeat correction list.
Determining the start of a measure
Next, the starting point of the measure is corrected. The beat at the start of
the measure must always agree with the high tone of the metronome and/or
the red line in the wave-shaped display.
Corrections can be made by tapping; If the start of the measure can be be
heard, tap with the mouse or press the "T" key. Alternatively, you can also
select how many quarter notes the "one" is to be pushed to back.
If the starting marker was set briefly before the first beat of a measure, this
correction is not necessary.
Note: With all corrections, the metronome and visualization react to the lines
in the wave-shaped display only after a short delay.
Using BPM and beat detection
Now you may select one of the actions to be adapted to the arrangement
song (or vice versa) or cut up the songs at the ends of a measure.
Save only Tempo & Beat information
Only wave file data is stored. This makes sense if some manual post-
correction is required for determining beat/tempo.
When the data is stored, tempo & beat regulation can be released for future
tempo adjustments or to create object remixes.
