Need help finding a free bpm detector ASAP.
Could somebody please point me in the direction of a good bpm detector? There’s so many on the App Store and I don’t know which to grab? I just need to check the bpm’s of old vinyl for sampling purposes. Thanks for any suggestions.

Cheapskate method: Open AUM or a drum machine and tap along with the record. Check BPM readout.
I prefer to grab the sample, trim it to a known number of beats, then use AUM’s snap to beat, adjusting the tempo until the number of beats is as close as possible to that number.
If you have Beatmaker 3, you can do the same, except all you need to do is input the number of beats in the sample and it’ll tell you the bpm.
The key in both is to accurately trim the sample to a known number of beats.
In my experience, beat detection algorithms aren’t all that reliable, especially on older stuff where the tempo is sometimes loose.
@Morgman73 You can use use the algoriddim djay le app(free version) for this
If you tap the tempo box theres an option to tap tempo Also you can do really smooth timestretching by hitting the keynote under the pitch slider keeps the original pitch if you adjust playback speed You can hit record when or if you want to
Use Apple's free Music Memos app. Record the song, tap the waveform and tap the time signature on the top left - it will show you the Tempo, Signature and Downbeat.
That's about it - and my biggest concern using Blocswave, which will start stretching things immediately on import if that number isn't correct.
On the other hand there's a simple formula to calculate the bpm figure from the length of a single (or multiple) beats snippet, which some apps (as mentioned above) apply.
EDM BPM worked well for me recently.

Thanks guys. I’ve used all the mentioned methods. AUM and also Cross DJ. AudioShare snap to beat, ect ect. I’ll figure it out. Thanks though.
I use my ears, brain, and a finger usually. Tap the tempo gets you close enough, and quickly too. Any app with tap tempo would work.
Then you can dial it in more precisely when you are in the neighborhood.
