Love this app

For years certain bands I play in I had a bpm meter that use a trigger on snare. That means certain songs without snare or with overly complex patterns did read well. This app is great

Awesome!

My contract dance band totally relies on this to keep a good tempo for dancers. It’s the best!

Thank you

Just want to say thanks for bringing Live BPM back to the App Store. I’ve really missed it.

Best bpm live tracker in the market

By far best app in the market. The tracking is so exact you can use the bpm for DJing

Live BPM

I’m a new user to Live BPM. After working with it for many hours now, I’m happy to say it works easy and seamlessly. The one enhancement I would suggest is:
Adding a regular Metronome feature that you can set at the beginning of each song on stage(to begin the song) then display the beginning tempo to the ongoing tempo during the performance. Not sure if you can do this. It would definitely be an enhancement.

DAW Pros…This one’s for us

This is for anyone working in professional DAWs…Pro Tools, etc. I was dealing with a click track that had undergone a move in tempo but that move had been applied via the pitch shift algorithm in pro tools putting the tempo quicker but not precisely on any whole number (in the likeness of tape machines). The music and this new click were in perfect sync but the session grid was still in the previous BPM. LiveBPM saved me a ton of time by getting me in the right “zipcode” where I could then begin going granular with the BPM in the session. After starting playback of the click, liveBPM instantly honed in on 156.81 BPM (click was subdivided into 8th notes) and then only occasionally moved to .82 or .83 but stayed locked on .81 90+% of the playback. Since the BPM / grid of the session was defined in quarter notes, I cut 156.81 in half and that got me to 78.4050 (Pro Tools has BPM defined to 4 decimals). At that setting the old and new clicks were extremely close. A couple more fine adjustments and an a/b comparison of both clicks on playback rendered no discernible difference at a final setting of 78.4056. The only way to detect any drift between the two clicks was to microscopically zoom in visually on each to see that a tiny amount of drift was beginning to happen in the final measures of the 6-minute song. My only wish would be for a pro version of liveBPM to exist with detection to 4 decimals to match pro DAWs but I can certainly understand the market for that being most likely small. I’m most grateful to have located this app. Thank you for developing it.

Great app to see a line of bpm over 30 min

I wish I could set the full range to a narrow range.
We want 110-120, so wish I could set the entire graph range to 100-130 or so.

Landscape mode? Really?

Forcing you app to run in landscape mode is a PIA. Yes, if you operate in landscape the controls are similar to portrait mode but it’s awkward and what in this app requires the width? Stumble over this whenever I use it.

Hi Daniel

Love this app, use it almost every session! Daniel is there any way to feed audio into the headphone port to detect beat? An option for detecting 3/4 time would also be amazing, thanks!

I just downloaded this and it was working and now it does not hear the music and stop working

How do I get it to work

Cool and useful tool

I just stumbled upon it and wanted to try it out. Being a drummer I was having over the years quite some discussions like „hey you did not stay on x bpm throughout the song”
And we drummers day “ hey dude, get yourself either a metronome or trust me 😂”

Now I have proof - especially when you recorded the song.
Nice work😀
Only the format of the app is not optimum for me. I would like it to be in portrait mode on my iPhone, too. So far I get only a forced landscape view. But maybe I need tutorial for this 😉

serato djでうまく測れない曲もバッチリ

serato djでうまく解析できない曲も正確にBPMを図れるため、手動でBPM設定ができ、とても助かってます。
似たようなアプリがあっても良いですがなかなか自動検出は無いので重宝します。
AppleWatchでも測れると良いと思います。

Uso em Bateria de Escola de Samba

Muito útil pra monitorar o andamento de uma bateria, percebendo a variação de andamento entre ritmo, viradas e retomadas e bossas.

annoying

Annoying app to use, only landscape orientation which is painful especially if you’re not used to it. Only counts to 160 anything above it’ll give you half speed so you need to do maths. I’d expect it to be smarter for the price.

Hat die App früher besser funktioniert ?

Die App scheint prinzipiell alles in double time zu erkennen. Spiele ich (auf dem Pad) etwas unter 100 dauert es recht lang bis aus 60 120 wird….🤔

Great idea needs improvement

App doesn’t exit cleanly. Seems to Lock Screen.
When playing iTunes tracks I don’t know if it’s working because live bpm seems to mute speaker? Either that or Apple Music App stops when live bpm is open. So it has limited functionality imo

Funktioniert gut, auch im live-Einsatz

Dauert etwas bis das Tempo erkannt wird, ist aber ziemlich zuverlässig (zumindest bei Rock/pop music)

Don’t bother

App does not appear to work on newer phones. Music cuts out when app is opened. Won’t measure beats.
Am using an iPhone 14 on iOS 16
Appears to be a waste of money

Response from developer

It was never meant to measure the music coming out of the phone, but I'll look into this.
