omg! hehe another person who likes original old Ministry! Have you seen the old Ministry videos here? I like both old and new Ministry. Al J. hates it though lol. I don't see why, I mean back then that was the style it was the 80s.

I never understood why he would dislike his early work. What I've always liked about Ministry is that every album is totally different. Al is cool like that. He seemed to have a lot to share and didn't waste too much time with one sound. Always wish he would have done one more album like "Twitch" though.

well, BPM counters suck, even on Pioneers. My advice: put your pitch to the max, and slow it down till it sounds as one beat, thats the easiest way

I have the vmx 1000 and the bpm conters on that are crap to, but I don't really use them.

Here's the deal the Behringer DJX 700 SUCKS! Not just the BPM counter. I had it & I thought I got a good deal for €300 cos it had 4 channels fx etc. 3 weeks after I got it the fx button got stuck down into the body, 1 of the channels stopped working, the knobs & faders felt cheap, the phono/line switches started coming apart & it had TERRIBLE sound. I'll never buy their stuff again. PEOPLE STAY AWAY FROM BEHRINGER...THEY'RE CHEAP FOR A REASON! SAVE YOUR CASH & GET SOME QUALITY GEAR. Peace.

If you have the time, maybe another good way is to throw the track in question into an audio editor & look at the spectrum and place markers exactly in the middle of the beats then you'll have the exact values. You may need to round for values that might have false precision.

Drum and bass is 170-180 bpm...

just to add to my last comment, if your having trouble counting beats for drum and bass try this. Ignore all the beats entirely, and count evenly between bars, use your imagination and listen for the *bang*. That bang at the end of a bar is going to be your guide. there are alot of extra beats in drum and bass that are confusing at times, but tempo is not reliant on the beats, listen between the mess of beats and you will see it is quite slow.
