Tap Tempo for Accurate Event Period

[Virtus]

I just used Jonathon's website to tap out my 2011 songs. I highly recommend this technique before you begin sequencing as it makes copy/paste work out perfectly and greatly increases your sequencing efficiency.

I'm planning on it! Thanks Jonathon.

Thanks for the compliments, guys! Just thought I'd let you know, that I am one of the guys on the Vixen 3.0 dev team and we are working really hard to make this as awesome as possible. And, I'm definitely keeping this plugin and all your comments in the back of my mind while we work on the UI. Stay tuned!

Excellent! I'm still learning the ropes, but this seems like it will be a huge help.
Would it be possible to be able to manually enter the bpm rather than having to tap it out? I found the bpm to a song listed on a website, but I can't simply type it in to the add-in.

daytimer: Exactly what I was wondering when I read the thread... I usually use this http://www.mixmeister.com/bpmanalyzer/bpmanalyzer.asp to check what bpm a song has. Did use it when I set together my music selection for running (90 bpm songs)

Since I totally SUCK at keeping a beat, I would like to be able to analyze the bpm's and just enter them

Slite,
would you check that site? I get this from Norton "Malicious Web Site Blocked"
Thanks

[Slite]

I sincerely doubt that... If so Norton is doing a fals positive. Mixmeister is a really serious company that has a lot of really great products. They just give the bpmanalyzer away for free.

Does norton block the main site as well? Or just the link I posted?

I had no problem on that link with Symantec Endpoint.

After a little messing around, I found a fairly good way for me to get a beat down using Tap Tempo. I get too goofed up when I am listening to the music and hearing myself hit the keyboard. I put on headphones, cranked the sound (to an acceptable, non-dangerous level :p), closed my eyes and tapped away. After that, I used the visualizer and listened to questionable spots to get the beats where they matched up. I am going to go back over it a few more times to make sure I get the beats where they need to be, but I'm fairly confident the timing will be very good.
That's what worked for me. Your results may vary
