hi acid freaks

I heard that acid was able to calculate the bpm of a loops or a wav sound and to show it.
I can't find that function anywhere on the software !
i actually recycle in reason my cool loops, long time used with that lovely acid, but now i have to calculate the tempo of each loops in order to make it match one with the other
Is acid also a BPM counter ? or Sound forge ?
thanks

When you beatmap a file in Acid 3.0, it will determine the BPM of the song. It will then be displayed under the Stretch tab in the track's properties when you look at them in Acid.

Hope this helps.

thanks for answering man but the beatmapper doesn't start unless there a long loop in ACID
(that's what the tutorial says )
If i need to calculate the tempo of shorts loops it won't start
thanks anyway

Try playing around with the "Open files as if between (seconds)" setting on the Audio tab under "Options>Preferences" on the menu bar.

Sound Forge also actually does a nice job of making loops for use with ACID--tempo and all. It's a little more tricky, though, since you'll have to do some editing to get the loop the way you want it to be. For example, you'll probably have to figure out exactly where the first downbeat falls and go from there.

HTH,

yeah man
you re a genius !
i asked beatmapper to start itself for every loops
and it calculates the tempo.
So i have my tempos and i can do a little cook.
thank you so much !
