Contador de BPM

El BPM (golpes por minuto) mide el tempo de una canción: cuántos golpes ocurren en un minuto. Una balada lenta puede estar alrededor de 60–75 BPM, el pop y el hip-hop suelen estar cerca de 90–130 BPM, y el dance y el drum & bass pueden llegar a 120–175 BPM o más.

Reproduce tu tema y presiona el botón (o la barra espaciadora) en cada golpe. El contador promedia tus marcas recientes y se fija después de unas ocho. Si registra el doble o la mitad del tempo real (un error común al marcar), presiona ×2 o ÷2. Activa los decimales para precisión de nivel DAW, reproduce el metrónomo para confirmar, y copia el resultado en un clic.

Los productores pueden leer los tiempos de delay y notas directo de la herramienta: el valor en milisegundos para cada duración de nota a tu tempo, listo para ajustar en un delay o reverb.

Accuracy depends on how many taps you give it: tapping fewer than 4 times gives an unreliable reading, but after 8-12 steady taps you should land within about ±2 BPM of the real tempo. Human timing always has a little variance, so don't expect a tapped result to be as exact as a decimal like 127.43 BPM. If the beat has a strong off-beat or a half-time feel, that's usually where ×2/÷2 comes in.

Tap tempo is the fastest way to get a tempo when you can hear a song but don't have the audio file: live sets, a track playing in a shop, rehearsal, or a phone held up to a speaker. It works offline once the page has loaded, which is handy on shaky venue Wi-Fi.

If you do have the audio file, an analyzer can read the waveform and detect beats automatically, which is usually more precise on steady, beat-driven tracks. Most DAWs (Ableton, Logic, FL Studio, Pro Tools, Cubase) also have built-in tempo detection for whatever you've already imported, and can map tempo changes across a whole song, something a single tapped BPM can't show. The oldest method, still useful as a sanity check, is counting beats for 15 seconds and multiplying by four. Each method trades speed for precision differently; tap tempo wins on speed when the song is playing right in front of you.
