Knowing what BPM a track is at?

How do I know what a guitar tracks BPM is so I know what to match ezdrummer to?

There are a couple of other things you could try. See post #5 on this thread. Or if you want to map a song where the tempo might vary a bit, see this thread. Pete

Might also add....it is a good idea to ALWAYS use some sort of click track to record along with. I didn't know this until about a year after I started to waste all of my spare time on all of this stuff.:o: Using a click track will open the door for using midi (ez drummer, vsti's, soundfonts, etc.) which lines up based on BPM. That was a great discovery. I'm no pro but, FWIW, my first step in creating a new project is to create a midi track with a closed HH as a click. All other midi can then line right up... cliff

you can tap your tempo with your mouse hovering over "BPM" in the transport bar before you start recording anything. or use this handy little utility that essentially does the same thing using the space bar.- edit: typed during LOSER's reply

Keep in mind that the built-in tap tempo finder rounds you to the nearest whole number, so if you're trying to sync to a reverb or something, you'll have to use an external plugin. It wasn't always this way, but a couple folks requested it and the option was not made configurable like every other Reaper behavior.... That said, I use Sonic Assault Tap! 1.2 for its precision. I've also used that AnalogX program thatbastarddon mentioned to great effect.

Ok Ive tried both ways an Im finding it just about impossible! I guess Ill just keep trying although Ive been driving myself crazy for the last few hours with this. Maybe Im doing something wrong or Im just an idiot...or both!
