@nixi16

Or count to 1 and multiply with 60 ^^

@nixi16 you can also count to 1 and multiply by 60. counting to 30 is more accurate.

@TheParag101 you count it as it is, there is a huge difference between 129 to 130, BPM (in my opinion) should always be rounded to at least 1 decimal place.

@boy82killer you are a genius, I would like to add (for other people) that you can do this for 16 beats even 8 or 4 beats, but do remember the more beats that you count the more likely your bpm will be correct.

nowadays tho, if your phone has a stopwatch it most likely has the ability to run a program like "BPM tap" =D

(easier method)

32 (divided by) x (times) 60

x = how many seconds after 32 beats.

sounds confusing but much easier and faster. Play a song (press start on the stop watch), Count the beats till 32. After 32 beats, press "stop" on the stopwatch and see how many seconds it took. then just do the formula and tat's is.

For example:

if it takes 15 seconds for 32 beats to play then...

32 (divided by) 15 (times) 60 = 128

There we go Faster and easier more accurate

Thumbs up so everyone can see :)
