The best program for clean speed/pitch adjustments is Sound Forge (used to be Sonic Foundry, now Sony). The file names looked something like this: 131.168 Whitney Houston - Learned From The Best (Some Version).wav My solution was to put the bpm at the front of the filename, that way things were sorted by bpm etc. however, if you're editing or using music for dj work or re-editing, you're hopefully going to be using wav files for this process (if you want accuracy and assured clarity of sound) and there is no tag fields in a wav file for bpm info. It doesn't put the bpm data into the file. Let me know if you need any help with any part of this. I poked around for the old Cool Edit Pro 2.0 for you, but didn't find anything to download (I'm sure with further searching you can find it out there). He has some other user-friendly bpm tools on his site, as well.) (note that it's 'pyramide' data if you need to type in the link manually for some rteason. overkill? no, I just use each one for it's strengths or multi multi multi multi tasking sometimes.ĭirect download link for version 1.01 of the plugin I've found for the best bpm results, you should use Cool Edit 2.0 or Audition 1.0 (the plugin will automatically install in those programs, plus in CEP2 you can have it check the BPM while you're playing the file with the program.) I have Cool Edit Pro 2, Audition 1, Audition 1.5 and Audition 2 installed on my computer right now. Here is what it looks like:īecause of changes in Audition's architecture you can't use the plugin with Audition 2.0.

depending on how much of the wav file you hilight for the bpm calculation (very quick at testing the top and end of a song to make sure it doesn't change speed somewhere in between.) I had to do some adjusting with mp3tag to be able to store the complete info).

and best of all it gives you a bpm reading down to the thousandth bpm (ie: 128.547). the plugin is designed to work with Cool Edit Pro which has now morphed into Adobe Audition. I have to admit, the best and most accurate bpm measurement tool is a little plugin from a programmer in Denmark. It checks the beats per minute and writes them into the BPM Tag Hy Guys - me again and again - and always with a questionĭoes anybody use a bpm tool? for the moment I've found MixMeister BPM Analyzer
