Conflict of BPM choice?

Re: Conflict of BPM choice?

I bob my head. If I bob my head in half time, I'll step it in half time. If I bob my head in normal time, that's how I step it. I use different BPMs to generate a feel more so than using technical accuracy. It doesn't really matter in the long run but it's one way to give an interpretation of a musical passage.

Corollary: If you bob your head at 800 bpm you get a massive headache

If it is too much text, don't post saying it is. That is considered postwhoring.

BPM is usually set by the percussion line or something similar. 960 BPM Speedcore actually does go that fast in some parts. MAX 300 has an underlying synth pattern that goes at 300 BPM. There is, of course, BPM doubling when it doesn't make sense, which you mention, with stuff like 400 BPM guitar songs, most of which are actually in the 180-200 range.

In any case, really, I think that the BPM should be the actual BPM of the song unless you are doing gimmicks. It doesn't matter what type of note you end up with.
