  • this is dumb. the fact is, you need to calculate the BPM of a song down to a tenth accurately to make your mix sound proper. Its imposibble to do that like this.

  • What a douche

  • lol u have to tap these fucking things in order for them to tell u the bpm, whaadaaafaaaak

  • I don't use BPM other than to sync effects. The best way to learn beatmatching your songs is to listen to your songs thoroughly.

  • @SkateBoyme - I dont know? Why are you asking us that question?

  • Thank's! Nice and useful. What's the console you are using?

  • i learned how to count bpms/tempo in like 1st grade?

  • why not using the fucking tap thing at first?

  • And now try that with speedcore you douchebag!

  • lol you picked one of the easiest songs to count to

  • @Acqua900 ITS CALLED RYTHM, honestly man, counting beats is for fools...... listen to the music! 1 song in each ear ,start them in sync and when one starts to go behind or ahead, adjust the speed of it!! that is how you mix, not rocket science. its merely the first step. but if someone cannot get that simple thing.. they are a total fake.... do you think real musicians and singers need to look at their watches in order to keep in time with the music??

  • @Acqua900 first of all singing isn't talking and 2nd there isn't always singing in songs and just listening isnt going to give you a perfect beatmatch....so my friend YOU should not get into DJing
