Dream Theater Songs with 76 BPM?
« on: November 24, 2014, 03:21:06 AM »
I'm trying to listen to songs I love with orchestra music as a backdrop, something like Final Fantasy compositions and I thought DT would sound the most natural with it.  The thing is, I'm having trouble finding anywhere online that tells me the BPM of each song.  For instance, I took Final Fantasy XII Paramina Rift song (amazing track) and calculated it at 76 BPM.  I'm trying to find a DT song that goes with the same tempo so it sounds natural rather than two songs sloppily played together.  There has to be an easier way than just sitting there counting the BPM for every DT song to find some good matches.

So is there an easy way to get BPM for songs without counting them yourself?

Hef is right on all things. Except for when I disagree with him. In which case he's probably still right.

Jammit comes with BPMs notated for all those songs.

however, keep in mind most DT songs that surpass six minutes (and some that don't!) have several tempo changes too.

I just looked up a few,  I have all the tab books for every album, so I can flip through a couple to see --- but why 76bpm????

I remember when I was experimenting with different mixing software, Sony Acid you could import song files and it would estimate and determine a BPM. It was a bit shifty though because an average BPM is no good for a long song that changes multiple times so it was only really useful for small length files. It was kinda cool though and definitely would have it's uses. It could detect BPM on sound files that didn't even have rhythm or obvious percussive elements, it'd just base it on the shape and patterns created in the waveform.
