How it works
Each tap records a timestamp. The BPM is 60 divided by the average gap between recent taps. Taps older than a few seconds are dropped, so the number settles quickly and recovers if you lose the beat.
Half-time and double-time
If you tapped every second beat, or twice per beat, the answer is off by a factor of two. The tool shows both so you can pick the one that feels right for the song.
Questions
How many taps do I need?
Eight or more gives a stable reading. Four is a rough guess.
Can I use the keyboard?
Yes. Press space, or any key, in place of clicking the pad.
Skip the manual mixing.
Everplay applies tempo, key and phrase rules to every transition for you.
