record instruments into FL Studio or input MIDI data with a keyboard and want to keep it in time.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Note:<\/strong>&nbsp;If you are going to record, be sure to record the instrument or MIDI into its own channel, so the recording track doesn&rsquo;t capture the metronome sound as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Is BPM The Same As Tempo?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Well, yes, and no.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They are often both referred to with the same meaning; however technically, there are differences:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Tempo&nbsp;<\/strong>&ndash; The speed, pace, or even feeling of music or sound. You can have an &ldquo;<strong>uplifting<\/strong>&rdquo; or &ldquo;<strong>relaxed<\/strong>&rdquo; tempo which will enforce the overall delivery of the music. This use of the term is usually related to live performances with bands, orchestras, or choirs.<\/li><li><strong>BPM&nbsp;<\/strong>&ndash; Is a specific number of beats per minute. Much more applicable to those of us in the music production or DJ world, where things often need to be syncopated to flow correctly.&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Both are basically the same thing; it just depends on how technical you want to be!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Related Questions:<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n<div id=\"rank-math-faq\" class=\"rank-math-block\">\n<div class=\"rank-math-list \">\n<div id=\"faq-question-1658585422630\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><strong>Which Genre Has What BPM?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>This can be tricky because, along with BPM, the style or use of specific elements can often dictate what genre a song would fall into. Of course, this is speculative as everybody has different opinions.<\/p>\n<p>Here is a general guide:&nbsp;<br>&ndash; <strong>House<\/strong>&nbsp;120 &ndash; 135BPM<br>&ndash; <strong>Drum and Bass<\/strong>&nbsp;165 &ndash; 180 BPM<br>&ndash; <strong>Dubstep<\/strong>&nbsp;130 &ndash; 150 BPM<br>&ndash; <strong>Techno<\/strong>&nbsp;135 &ndash; 145 BPM<br>&ndash; <strong>Hip Hop<\/strong>&nbsp;160 &ndash; 175 BPM<br>&ndash; <strong>Glitch Hop<\/strong>&nbsp;95 &ndash; 115 BPM<\/p>\n<p><strong>Note<\/strong>: the above BPM numbers can also be half their value, depending on the song\/project.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1658585464380\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><strong>Why Is Detect Tempo Giving Me The Wrong BPM?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Often this can be because a sample doesn&rsquo;t have a lot of transients to analyze. Try selecting a different range of BPMs, or one of the other detection methods listed above.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1658585474881\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><strong>Do You Always Need To Find The BPM Of A Sample?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Not at all!<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes not adjusting the tempo of a sample can be advantageous. This is especially cool when sampling loops for hip-hop, as the swing and &ldquo;live&rdquo; feel of samples could be the magic of it! There might also be times when you only choose to use a small portion of a larger sample which wouldn&rsquo;t require finding out its overall BPM.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Use your best judgment here for more interesting results!<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1658585498945\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><strong>Why Is It Helpful To Find Out The BPM Of A Sample?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>This depends on what you&rsquo;re going for. If you are using drum loops or samples with precise on-beat hits, then knowing the BPM can help you add them to your track efficiently to keep things in time.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>As you can halve or double a sample&rsquo;s BPM to apply it to your track, this can open your creativity to explore different styles of samples that are of similar BPM.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1658585518706\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><strong>Why Does The Tempo Detect Have Decimal Places Instead Of A Whole Number?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>At the end of the day, you&rsquo;re using a computer to make a calculation. Sometimes it almost overcalculates to give these readings. The important thing is that It can help you get a general idea of what the tempo could be, and you can make your changes accordingly.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:25px\"><strong>Do you still want more?
