Find out the exact beats per minute (BPM) of any piece of music, your latest track, or your live performance with this BPM counter. Great for musicians, DJs, Vocalists, and Producers. Tap the button to the beat, counting 1, 2, 3, 4. I would recommend doing this for a few bars until you start seeing the BPM steady.
The "Avg BPM" takes the average figure from the last 4 clicks to aid with stability and precision.

How do I work out the tempo?
You can use a metronome, tempo detection apps, or our free online BPM counter tool to determine the beats per minute (BPM) of a piece of music.
A metronome produces a steady beat that you can play along to and adjust until it matches the music's tempo. Mobile metronome apps provide added features like visual cues and tempo presets.
Tempo detection apps can listen to music through your device's microphone and automatically estimate the BPM. Our online BPM counter allows you to tap a beat which it then calculates into a BPM readout.
Metronome: A traditional device that produces a steady, adjustable beat to play along with. Set it to the music's tempo.
Mobile Apps: Metronome apps for iOS and Android with extras like sounds, visuals, and tempo presets.
Online BPM Counter: Tap a beat on our website's tool which calculates and displays the BPM. Useful when a metronome isn't available.
Tap Tempo in DAWs: Digital audio workstations often having a tap tempo button to set the project tempo.
Tempo Detection Apps: Apps that listen to the music and estimate its BPM.
