Fred McGriff Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 I'm in the process of cataloging bpms of all my vinyls, just curious if anyone else who mixes with vinyl does the same and would be interested in keeping some sort of joint database / spreadsheet. i've also done mixes with software and bpm spreadsheets have come in handy there too... though it's a bit easier as there is freeware that will scan your entire digital collection and calculate bpms. right now for the vinyl I'm tapping it out using this site: http://www.all8.com/tools/bpm.htm the columns on my spreadsheet look like this: artist, album, song, position (i.e. a3 or b4), bpm, rating (scale of 1-10), extra notes even if you don't have interest in spinning, it's a good way to run through your record collection and rate each and every track, and you could be contributing to a good cause if you participate :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred McGriff Posted April 24, 2013 Author Share Posted April 24, 2013 well at the very least i will just upload my spreadsheet here when i'm done, and maybe someone will print it out and wipe their ass with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chim Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 Ha! Excellent idea, Fred. But every track I spin is digital and 140 bpm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Ron Manager Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 someday, when i am rich and/or famous, and i have time, decent amount of physical living space, and most importantly a second turntable, i will get into this and contribute, because it's a good idea. sadly i cannot at the moment. i should find this free digital BPM detector, that might encourage me to do something in the meantime. edit: this presumably?

Fred McGriff Posted April 24, 2013 Author Share Posted April 24, 2013 I use the one by MixMeister called, for some weird reason, "BPM Analyzer." I can vouch for it. http://www.mixmeister.com/download-bpmanalyzer.php But I'm sure the one you're linking is perfectly capable as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alzado Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 I think it makes sense for members of the bpm share to wear matching jackets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred McGriff Posted April 24, 2013 Author Share Posted April 24, 2013 agreed, and they should have a military vibe to them, like those of the dancers of Public Enemy or that of M. Bison. wait am i being made fun of? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest nene multiple assgasms Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 I use the one by MixMeister called, for some weird reason, "BPM Analyzer." I can vouch for it. http://www.mixmeister.com/download-bpmanalyzer.php But I'm sure the one you're linking is perfectly capable as well I'm currently using this to analyze the bpm of my digital vinyls. before I was using the all8.com thing, which was sort of fun but very time-consuming. I don't even dj; I'm just doing this to make workout playlists, which start out at around 120 bpm classic house tempos and end up at around the 140 dubstep level. I'm trying to be like the guy in my avatar, but with teh technos instead of 90s radio rock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
