Sharpen your sense of time! liveBPM is the tempo monitoring tool for drummers, bands and DJs. It detects music and beats via the microphone and continuously displays the current tempo in beats per minute (BPM). It is easy to use and delivers high-quality results while being energy efficient.★★★ Detailed Description ★★★ This is a tool designed for professional use:- Well-tested beat detection engine guarantees trustworthiness- Can handle most genres. Produces the best results under the following conditions:-- The tempo is constant or almost constant-- Strong impulses are defining the beat (drums, accentuated rhythm instruments like bass/guitar, etc.)-- Time signature is 4/4, 3/4 or a multiple of either of these- If the music meets these conditions liveBPM will produce results accurate to within 0.1 BPM Further features:- Tempo curve shows the development of tempo over time - Multiple zoom modes to show last 2, 3, 5, 7, 10, 15, 20 or 30 minutes- Advanced audio spectrum analysis via FFT- More accessible and usually more accurate than BPM counters that function through tapping- Relatively low battery drain thanks to high performance code and efficient algorithmsUsing it as a musician:- Use it as an objective tempo reference like a metronome- It actually has several advantages over a metronome:-- You are not tied to a click, giving you more flexibility-- Helps you use tempo changes to enhance your musical expression-- With blind tests, it can massively improve your timing confidence, which is especially important if you are in a tempo leading role (e.g. drummer)- Discover how/whether your favorite artists use tempo changes- Measure and improve your time-keeping skills- Identify slowdowns and speedups while practicing your instrument- Always be in control of the tempo during your live gigs and rehearsalsControls:- Power Button: For freezing the tempo curve and minimizing battery drain- Clear Button: Clears the tempo curve- Slider: Adjusts the target tempo, ranging from 60 to 200 BPM- Zoom Buttons: Switch between zoom modes for the tempo curve. (2-30 minutes) Note: In cases where the music is characterized by soft impulses, you may improve the detection by clapping loud to the beat. Also, results can be improved by plugging in a suitable external microphone pointing to the beat-defining elements of your band setup.- added a privacy policy to meet new Google Play requirements- added native support for arm64-v8a and x86Version 2.0 is work in progress and will go into beta testing fairly soon.

I use it to sync my turntable speed to digital recordings 👌

This app does not work on my phone for some reason but don't expect a refund if it doesn't work on yours because apparently this isn't thair policy if I could give it zero stars I would! A no refund policy says to me that they know how inferior the app is but don't care and just want your money!! This is theivary

Works with entire drum set, you start playing and it reads out the BPM after about four seconds then you just glance down at it once in a while to see how you're doing. This is a must have! Even recordes a graphical display,. The first time I tried it after about 5 minutes, I looked down and I was rushing about 6 BPM I couldn't believe it! I checked it against a metronome and it's spot-on. After about an hour I could stay within one BPM after 10 minutes playing. Easily worth 4 times the price

Great tool. Now I just need to get my drummer to use it!

it says that it is for a previous version of android and needs to be updated... been using this for a while and i switched phones... this app needs to be updated for the newee version of android phones thanks

This app is an excellent, must-have app for all musicians! Well worth the price. I've been using it for years at practice and at all gigs. The graph is a great feature. One request for additional capability is I'd like to be able to save the graphs. Sometimes I'm told my drumming was too fast/slow at certain parts and a saved graph could settle any arguments! One more thing- the developer is a fantastic, responsive person. I had an issue once and he replied immediately to help me. Great app!!

Fantastic app! I tried several other BPM apps to automatically read out BPM's of my hip hop vinyl records and none of them worked - not even close. The only thing that worked was to manually "tap" an app to count BPM - that is certainly not something I want to do. liveBPM worked immediately and it's FAST. Within 4 bars of most vinyl I tested, it knew the BPM. Perfect for setting up my records before a set to put them in BPM order. Money well spent as it saves me tons of time.
