Frequently Asked Questions

How do I use the BPM Tempo Tapper?

Play the song and tap the big button, your screen or the spacebar in time with the beat. After a few taps the average tempo appears, and it keeps getting more accurate the longer you tap.

Is the BPM Tempo Tapper free?

Yes. It is completely free and unlimited, and you do not need an account.

How many taps do I need for an accurate BPM?

Two taps give a first estimate. Eight to sixteen taps usually land within a fraction of a BPM of the real tempo.

The tempo is half or double what I expected

Some genres are ambiguous between half-time and double-time. Use the divide-by-two and times-two buttons to switch instantly.

Can I hear a metronome at the tapped tempo?

Yes. Once a tempo is detected, press Play metronome to hear a click at that BPM and check it against the track.

Do you have a tool that detects BPM automatically?

Yes. The Wavsly BPM & Key Finder analyzes an audio file in your browser and returns tempo, musical key and Camelot code without any upload.
