[DeeJayZap]

Thanks

[moww]

when I did the acapella of alive mine turned out to be 101.012

[nobbus]

if you cant work out the BPM of an acapella you can always work it out using the original track.

It's bound to happen when you do most of your production exclusively in a computer box. Those silly dudes.

the downbeat is when he says "Fifty" (cups of coffee) so if u didnt have the first beat hit when he said that, thats the prob.

BUMP

How do you do BPM's that are not rounded? say 90.8 BPM as opposed to just 90 BMP. I am using Fruity Loops and as far as I can tell, it only does round/whole BPM's (such as 90 BPM's). Is there a special formula you use for the percentage to stretch or shrink it to the correct length of loop you need in something like Cool Edit 2.0 to get the correct BPM?

I can't for the life of me, figure out how to do this.

[landos_dad]

FL Studio or Fruityloops as it was once known.. does let you change the tempo/bpm to the fraction. Look at it...it's default tempo setting is 140.000.
Hover your mouse over the ".000" part and you will see an up/down arrow mouse icon. Click, hold and drag the numbers to your desired tempo.

So, for example, 98.8 bpm... will be 98.800 in FL

Ah, I have a copy of Fruityloops 3 Full Final (befroe FL studio). So I am not sure if that is where the difference is because it only shows whole BPM's. If there is a way to view the ".000" I can't seem to find it. Any suggestions? Where can I get a copy of FL Studio? Or is there another program that will do the same thing. I also have an old copy of Rebirth but it isn't as versatile and is only in whole BPM's as well.

just bring it into acid and use the beatmapper to find the bpm. Then just change the bpm of the whole project and export it. Or you can use wavelab or something to change the bpm.

Are you sure?
I have never been able to properly timestretch a vocal for a whole acapella.

Aaah, I see. I'm sure there's a way though. See what options you get when right clicking the tempo. Best thing to do is upgrade to FL Studio/Fruityloops 4... registered users get free upgrades for life... that's assuming you are a registered user.
Fruity 3 is a bit ancient now

[DJ_Skrilla]

Let's just say I got Fruity Loops 3 from a "friend". Which version of FL Studio do you use? I noticed there are something like 4 levels from Express to Producer? Will Express, the $50 version, do the trick for making beats? I just use Cool Edit 2 to slap eveything together after exporting the loops anyway. I would like to stick with FL Studio because it appears to be similar to the old Fruity Loops I have and I finally have that down fairly well.

Hello boys and girls i realised a rmx

ROOTS DOWN (Clüsters rmx)

available on www.myspace.com/theclusterslive

Listen and comments my friends

ps: bon baiser de france

[Guy Incognito]

can i have some clarification on bboys in the cut, zap said 102 but i am getting 78! and i havent heard the original yet so i am working blind here. help!

[Next of Kin]

I had B Boys in The Cut at 102.6 bpm and it seems to work fine... but i think the original would be at 102.5 since a record rip cant be 100% accurate
