hahaha!

you mean BPM?

in any case.. are you doing something "live," or are you
using a program? In which case, which program?

tempo is subjective (slow, moderate, fast), generally, but
you can measure from beat to beat with a wav editor and see
how many beats will fit into a minute...

or you can cut a loop of a bar or beat and put it into
reason and adjust the bpm until it loops properly without
overlapping or gapping, and see what bpm you're at...

my friend sent me a .wav file of his playing guitar and
wants me to add in other sounds, i need to be able to
sequence correctly and i need the bpm for it . i dont know
it though becuase he was playing guitar and not sequencing

it'll be a hard work because when he plays the guitar, the
tempo can change a bit _ it's not like when you program
music on a computer

that'll be hard to get exact, because i'm sure unless he's
experienced in playing with a metronome his tempo will
vary...

you're better off cutting up his playing into segments and
editing, i think...

but you could try chopping out a bar at a time and using
clicks to see what precise tempo/bpm each bar works out
to...very tedious, though...

just as a note, im sure it wont work for this, because its
just a guitar, but audacity has a function 'beat finder'
which tries to mark the beats.
just for future reference you know.

Tap out the beats and count how many there are in a minute.
If there's not a minutes worth of music then loop it
appropriately to find a minutes worth. However many beats
you count in 1 minute is the Beats Per
Minute :)
