How accurate is the tap tempo?

The tool calculates BPM by averaging the intervals between your taps. After 4 or more taps the reading stabilises. More taps yields higher accuracy.

What is BPM used for?

BPM (Beats Per Minute) is the standard measure of music tempo. It is used by DJs for beatmatching, producers for DAW project tempo, musicians for metronome settings, and fitness coaches for workout intensity.

How do I use the delay calculator?

Enter your BPM to get the delay times in milliseconds for quarter notes, eighth notes, dotted eighth notes, and sixteenth notes, essential for syncing reverb and delay effects in a DAW.

What BPM is common for different music genres?

Ballads: 60 to 80 BPM. Pop and Rock: 100 to 130 BPM. House music: 120 to 130 BPM. Drum and Bass: 160 to 180 BPM. Hip-hop: 85 to 95 BPM.
