How to FIND BPM of a SONG or BEAT // Find TEMPO in Ableton Live Lite

How to find the BPM of a song is one of the most common questions I get asked by students when they try to import a beat into their session. Knowing how to sync a track to the grid is an incredibly useful skill and one that every producer should know how to do. I hope this video helps you learn this vital skill! Thanks for watching - let me know below what you'd like to see next!! 👊😎

good

im always on some weird shit that doesn't line up with the narrative. Turns out my song is all ambient no beat...then wot?

Super, I am dealing with some proggy music, so 3/4 and 5/4 ... and such are in play might be a bit more work haha. Thanks!

bizarre that we still essentially have to do everything manually. by now ableton should be able to detect the tempo automatically. came here expecting instructions on where to find the "detect tempo" button. :-/

thank you! super fast and easy fix.

Thanks bro much appreciated! subscribed

I really appreciated the energy man, for real it was nice and refreshing,,, keep doin what you're doin and don't stop : ]

very much appreciated, never thought about using the downbeat, real helpful insight fr

I love you!!!

Dude, this was mindbendingly easy to do, thank you!

Its the metronome on beat with me lol

how does a software as complex an ableton doesnt have an automatic function for this like most DJ softwares have???

Thanks mannnnn

I hate when they put an extremely dificult number to find on the tempo

I cant believe that Ableton Live doesn't have an easier, automated way to show you the tempo of a sample. Thanks for the workaround though.

This is so helpful. Thank you so much

👍😍 Thank you

Is this possible in Ableton? 1. drag in an audio track 2. have ableton place markers where the beats are 3. have the mouse snap to the markers so you can grab 2 bars or whatever and have it loop 4. move the loop around till you find the best loop

Thanks bro

Your trick doesn't work for long audios.

What if ithe BPM is actually more tricky like 86,7?

what if the beginning is on time and the drop isnt?

Thank you so much for the help. I finally have an idea of how to make it work.

where to edit the default tempo , so it is not 120 bpm

HOW CAN WE ENTER A TEMPO , for the master I want to type the tempo in .
how many decimal places can LIVE be set to . In Logic I can type to Four
decimal places. such as 173.9981 BPM .

buuuuuuuuuuuut... what to do if its a live recording?

When I opened this video I thought this is not possible..But this actually works!! Thanks mate!
