How To Find the BPM Of A Song In Reaper
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 12 сен 2024
- Finding the BPM of a song is really simple when you use Reaper. First you need to go to Project Settings and change the Tempo mode from Beats to Time. This allows the grid to change without stretching the audio. Leave a comment down below if you use this feature to find the BPM of your songs.

Very cool. Yes, handy as I do covers. So I bring them in as reference tracks. If the original recording's tempo drifts, is there a way in REAPER to mark its transients and then stretch or move the recordings transients to match the closest tempo? So:1. Import reference track.2. Get tempo as close as I can using process you describe, but then, if it drifts..3. Find reference tracks transients and drag to nearest tempo marker?
Fezzler61 yes. Place a tempo change at the start of the drift and just find the new tempo. This is called making a tempo map and it may be needed from time to time. Thanks for watching.
@@DoctorMcFarlandStudios Sorry to reply to a 6 year old comment but is there a video on this specifically? I'm doing a cover and programming midi but I've hit a road block with a tempo change that's made it really hard to figure out where the midi notes need to be. I just started using reaper a couple years ago so I'm not entirely well versed. If you have any more tips or a video you could link me too I'd much appreciate it
@@MrJakotic Reaper Mania has video on tempo mapping and its effects on MIDI.
thanks man! after 3 youtube tutorials this finaly helps!!!
Glad I could help!
Great video! I forgot how to do this, and I actually learned something new. Thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
I can't believe there is not an easier way to detect BPM but thanks
its not too bad and I can do it pretty fast.
Deliciously quick and straight forward. Great job
Great method. Saved me re recording my project from scratch. Thanks bro.
Glad it helped
Don't know if it's a recent thing with Reaper, but if you highlight a measure (like you did) and then hover over the 'selection time' info at the bottom right (selection start, selection end, selection time), a help text appears suggesting likely BPM. Handy for when the BPM isn't a whole number.
a 7 munite video which could've been 30 seconds
Some people like the step by step.
Very helpful, Thanks!!
thank you ! very precise and great teaching. very useful
You are welcome!
Really helpful! Thanks man!
Dude this helps so much
It was such a pain to create drums under my riffs because if I changed the bpm it changed my tempo of riff too
Thanks for watching. Let me know if you have any other questions.
Really useful, thanks a lot!
Thanks sooo much!!
You're welcome!
At 6:08 when you say "Let's slide this back". ..
How did you... or what key did you use to offset the track, back and forth?
Thanks.
Stompulator44 you can shift the wav form in a region by holding the Alt key. The cursor will turn into a fist.
@@DoctorMcFarlandStudios dudde thank you both!! I was wondering the same thing
Thank you very much for your help!
Man, u save me. Thanks!
nice, I can tell I'll be back since I use reaper a lot !!
oscar9876543 thanks for watching. I plan on making more Reaper videos. Let me know if you have any specific questions.
Thanks
Thanks for the tut, but when I place the curser over the bpm box and use the scroll wheel ...mine jumps to the next time line and is not smooth like yours, I have disabled the jump to next line thingy but it still does not scroll smoothly like in your video. Thanks again for your tutorial.
this is a pretty old video so I am not sure if Reaper has changed anything since then.
Thank you Sempai.
Your very welcome
Thanks Man. Im going to try and use this method with a guitar track. It should be harder but I think I can get into the ball park.
Phlop Alopagus if the guitar has multiple tempos then you can always make a tempo map to follow the tempo changes.
Lol. Temp map. Im not there yet buddy. I know what it is but its going to take me a while to wrap my head around that again. Im refreshing the basics right now. Its been 2 years without reaper. It is a hell of a lot easier the second time around. Lots of oh ya moment instead of wtf moments.
Im not trying to import a track thank god. Im just trying to set my bpm for a project based off a quick guitar idea I might have recorded. So It doesn't have to be perfect. Just got to get it in the ball park.
Phlop Alopagus i will be releasing more Reaper videos soon and pit them in a playlist. Let me know what other topics in Reaper you have questions about.
Most of it has been done its just there is soooo much its hard to find what your looking even if you know what key words to search with. If you really know the program well I would like to see a complete journey of a Reaper track (good name). Certainly not without editing haha. If some just sat down to either record,edit and master or just edit and master and recorded the big moves of a track that would kick ass. Im currenty trying to use one of the extra buttons on my mouse to be able to scroll up and down on the TCP. As it is now it just widens the TCP (I hate keyboard shortcut is why). Hmm a complete chapter on convenience hasnt been done.
Your vocal recording is phasing I think are you recording from 2 sources?
How do u put the bpm button on the top of the DAW? Is this a theme? Or u can activate some option?
Its always on top by default since Ive started using Reaper. Right click in that area and see if there is an option to move that section to the top.
Got it! Thank you. Mouse wheel on the bpm. Success.
Works every time
dankä walti
great
Thank you.
very good trick. can similarly be done for a midi track we don't know tempo of ?
thanks dude
Your welcome. What kind of material are you working with? Have you needed this feature recently?
How could i donthis to a stem track with everything recorded already to get the bpm of the whole project
exactly the same as I did in the video.
@@DoctorMcFarlandStudios do a tutorial like that precisely so we can understand fully do it with a two track n a vocal that was recorded else where are that is in Wav format am not use to this because I've been using mixcraft for yrs n it has auto bpm
@@airfreshoutletja if the song wasn’t recorded to a click at all you will need to do a tempo map of the whole song.
Hey man , loved the video , super easy to understand . I have a problem tho . How can i adjust the project time without a mouse ? I am currently working on a laptop and do not have a mouse . I dont know what to do after placing the cursor over the BPM meter . Please reply asap . Thank you
David De Menezes/Anuraag Gawhale Project hmmm that is a good question. Just keep typing in the bpm until you get it lined up. If the lines are getting closer to the downbeat of your wav then you know you are getting in the ballpark and the fine tune it till it is exact.
Ive tried doing this , but for some reason the entire session slows down .I thik the project is synched to the metronome . Any way to get around this ? Also , thank you for the speedy rreply
David De Menezes/Anuraag Gawhale Project you can also add a marker on the downbeat of measure two so you have a reference where your tempo will line up to.
David De Menezes/Anuraag Gawhale Project you have to go to project settings and change the grid from tempo to beats. Or vice versa. I think I talk about that in the video.
I just made another video demonstrating the difference between Time and Beats in the Project settings. Let me know if you have any other questions. ruclips.net/video/Er-NejWvP0A/видео.html
Hi from Spain. Thanks for the explanation! The problem is when the bpm's change slightly along the song. I dont know why. Maybe due to the compress or render process or something like that. This sometimes happens (at least in drumless songs which are the ones I use to practice). Any solution? Thanks again!
Greetings. My band Feedback Revival tour Europe back in 2014 and played 10 shows in Spain. It was beautiful. If you find that the tempo drifts through the song and you want to keep that intact then you just need to keep adding tempo markers and readjust the tempo. I had to do this on a project last year. I had to create a tempo map for the whole song basically but it did make it easier to record to. Let me know if you have any more questions.
Yes. Coruña, Ourense,... ;) And you were already in Spain in 2013, i think! Cangas, no? I hope you've enjoyed in my country. what concerns to tempo drifts, i've done it in a couple of songs, adding tempo markers and readjusting the tempo but it tooks me a lot of time (more than 4 hours per song........).
thanks man, i thogut this wasnt possible on reaper... thanks a lot!!!!
Juan Francisco Ferreyra Larrosa with Reaper anything is possible.
Doctor McFarland Studios works perctly. Love this software
I am ramping up my video production. Wednesday is going to be all about recording with lots of Reaper featured vidz. Hold on to your hat.
while it helps. thanks!
So, can I somehow use this method to tap bpm via a drumpad? I'd Iike to know how to do that in order to control reaper in a live setting in an intuitive mouseless way.
As long as the drumpad was sending some kind of MIDI signal im sure it would work.
@@DoctorMcFarlandStudios I have not yet done anything with step input for example but have used megababy a few times. It would be awesome to combine the two in some way, but I'm not yet sure how.
What about simple midi drum beats?
MIDI should conform to the tempo you have it at. If you change the tempo of the session then the MIDI will stretch to reflect that change.
@@DoctorMcFarlandStudios can I drop midi drum beat, then have reaper auto detect or tell me the bpm the midi beat is playing at?
Hi there, I'm having a lot of trouble lining up the acapella track to Free Bird by Lynyrd Skynyrd and keep in mind I am never a fan of re-recordings ever, however I have a BIG request for you. can you at least try using these 2 tracks the full mix and the acapella, line it up, and invert that acapella with the full mix once lined up as close as possible. can you do that for me if you know what I mean?
Also, I'm new to youtube, and I don't know how to send these track to you, so can I send it through your email please?
Andycowboy322 why would you want to do this? What is the ultimate goal?
@@DoctorMcFarlandStudios Okay So Basically I'm trying remove vocals from a song, using an acapella to invert with the full mix of the song once it's aligned with the full mix that has the vocals in it already. Also, I know what your thinking and I promise to you removing vocals from a song which a lot people say is impossible, but However if you have the acapella to a song and line it up at the right tempo as the main mix's tempo, and when you invert it the song's vocals will be taken out in a finger snap.
Also, please don't send me any! re-recordings of Free bird, and don't send me a version that is the original that's already online because it doesn't sound exactly the same as the final mix of free bird with the vocals in it.
@@DoctorMcFarlandStudios I'm not trying to be rude, but I hate! re-recordings of this song specifically, and most of the versions online don't sound like the original at all because since you did this video it was so good that I think it's time you actually need to do this as a because I've tried it so many times that I can't stand this song's vocal track inside of the mix itself.
Andycowboy322 looks like you know the process so you should do it yourself. Good luck.
Why don't you remove the grid?
That is fine for a live performance but when you are wanting to record other tracks to a piece of audio that you don't know the tempo to then this is how I do it. Recording without a click track can be a nightmare.
Frequecy?
In reference to what?
Keep rockin!!!!
You don't explain the crucial parts well. Moves mouse wheel over bpm and bla timelime. Why can't explain well. I find another video.
You got it. Just place mouse over BPM and then move the mouse wheel back and forth till you line up the grid. Its very simple.
so long
Pp
hahahaha why did it slow my entire song down? lol
Ill figure it out but that is funny
You have the session set to beats instead of time. Go to project settings and change it. Time changes the grid behind the tracks. Beats changes the speed of the tracks themselves.
Very helpful, thank you!
so long
deevnv in depth :)
