How to find the BPM of a song
- Play the song and tap on every beat, usually where you would clap or nod your head.
- Keep tapping for 8 to 10 beats: the result gets more accurate with every tap.
- If the number feels twice too fast or slow, check the half-time and double-time values.
- Press “Practice at this tempo” to open the metronome at the tempo you found.
