Attn: Everyone using mixmeister bpm analyzer

[Patashu]

round the bpm it gives you to the nearest .05

thanks for your time

[EAGAMES]

aww crap...

Thanks Patashu.

[Oni-Paranoia]

Elaborate...

[Patashu]

mixmeister is +/- .02 off of the true bpm for almost all songs (notable exception: doormouse songs)
likewise almost all songs have a bpm that is divisible by 0.05

[who_cares973]

lol



mixmeister+winBPM=best

or dds

[PsYcHoZeRoSk8eR]

This would explain why some things have come out ever so slightly offbeat...

[tha Guardians]

Yeah, I was wondering...
Thanks.

Very helpful.

[kommisar[os]]

it's not a huge noticeable difference but if the song's long enough it'll get offsync

[buizel8888]

I always did this anyways

[Patashu]

I'm glad buizel, I know some other people don't tho and I used to use it unadjusted spreading da message

if you're curious, here's a calculation: let's say you have a 2 minute song, it's 140 bpm but you use 140.02 instead. the last arrow of the song will be 17 milliseconds early

[Zybanthia]

Well, when MixMeister quite frequently throws you BPMs like 140.01 or 178.01 or... etc, it does get a little fishy, doesn't it? In those cases I've always just cut the decmial off.

But you'd really just be wise to check your file over regardless of what you took from MixMiester's BPM analysis. It's not always correct, and it's just good habit. I just dealt with a file that was something pretty constant, like 170 BPM or so, but I had to make minor adjustments because it wasn't actually constant the entire way. It would go to 169.80 and then 170.20 or whatever, and I guess MixMeister threw out an average BPM of 170 or so. It may look like it works, but listen closely and it doesn't.

ok thanks, this explains some sync problems

real men find the bpm themselves

yeah, i look at the audio and find the time between each beat and divide that by 60, or maybe i multiply, but anyway after that using ddreamstudio will make sure you have it perfect or not.

I do this for dynamic bpm songs. static ones i figure that i have mixmeister on my hard drive, might as well use it

[Confused2]

This program makes no sense to me.

It claims that Beethoven's Symphony No. 3 in E Flat Major is well over 100. An ambient space piece by Dano is 110 and a supposedly beatless ambient piece is 160. Another supposedly beatless ambient piece is 103.

Am I supposed to halve this (ie. the beethoven piece would be 50, Dano's piece would be 55 etc. ) or what? Can this possibly be accurate?

[V-Ormix]

o never knew that, thanks.

Mixmeister only works well with constant bpm songs. Something like Beethoven would be impossible to calculate with it, unless someone made a constant bpm midi or something of the sort. As for ambient pieces, how do you expect it to get the bpm if it doesn't even have any reference points to go off from? It works well with songs with a noticeable beat, but you can easily find the bpm of those yourself anyways.

also huge bump

looks like you got NINJAAAAD

Mixmeister works best with constant bpm songs, but if you are stepping a non constant rock song or some metal tune (something that tries to keeps a steady bpm for the most part) it can give you an average bpm which you would put in ddream and start from there.
Mixmieister is not good for classical pieces or anything that has a lot of changes
