★ Detailed Description
★
★
★ This is a tool designed for professional use:- Well-tested beat detection engine guarantees trustworthiness- Can handle most genres.
Produces the best results under the following conditions:-- The tempo is constant or almost constant-- Strong impulses are defining the beat (drums, accentuated rhythm instruments like bass/guitar, etc.)-- Time signature is 4/4, 3/4 or a multiple of either of these- If the music meets these conditions liveBPM will produce results accurate to within 0.1 BPM Further features:- Tempo curve shows the development of tempo over time - Multiple zoom modes to show last 2, 3, 5, 7, 10, 15, 20 or 30 minutes- Advanced audio spectrum analysis via FFT- More accessible and usually more accurate than BPM counters that function through tapping- Relatively low battery drain thanks to high performance code and efficient algorithmsUsing it as a musician:- Use it as an objective tempo reference like a metronome- It actually has several advantages over a metronome:-- You are not tied to a click, giving you more flexibility-- Helps you use tempo changes to enhance your musical expression-- With blind tests, it can massively improve your timing confidence, which is especially important if you are in a tempo leading role (e.g.
drummer)- Discover how/whether your favorite artists use tempo changes- Measure and improve your time-keeping skills- Identify slowdowns and speedups while practicing your instrument- Always be in control of the tempo during your live gigs and rehearsalsControls:- Power Button: For freezing the tempo curve and minimizing battery drain- Clear Button: Clears the tempo curve- Slider: Adjusts the target tempo, ranging from 60 to 200 BPM- Zoom Buttons: Switch between zoom modes for the tempo curve.
(2-30 minutes) Note: In cases where the music is characterized by soft impulses, you may improve the detection by clapping loud to the beat.
Also, results can be improved by plugging in a suitable external microphone pointing to the beat-defining elements of your band setup.- added a privacy policy to meet new Google Play requirements- added native support for arm64-v8a and x86Version 2.0 is work in progress and will go into beta testing fairly soon.

What Our Users Say
Don't just take our word for it. Here's what our users have to say about our Android app.
"I really depend on this app and hope the dev updates it for the latest Android version. It still works, and hope it stays current."
Spinum343
"Great app. Needs updating for newer android versions."
Jim Rollinson
"Great app. I use it at practice and live! It has really helped keep my tempos in check!"
David Kerns
"Like app but too bad you can't use in split screen mode on a7 tab."
Tom
"Doesn't work (no response)."
Frank J Kelly
"Not a metronome. Let's you play any tempo, but tells you what you did."
TimOn Bass
"Great App. Gives a great guide to the live musician. Listens to rhythm of song and continuously reads and displays the BPM. I find it very helpful."
Paul Gill
"100% worth the $4. Thank you so much."
Meece K
"Works well for me and the only reason it's not made the dizzy highs of five stars, well, I can't get to use it with split screen on my tablet and I need to keep flicking between the Livebpm and the set list. Would be great to have them both on split screen! Simple BPM detector does it, just saying! Lol."
Kenny L Simpson
"My music teacher told me to work on my timing. I thought my timing was fine. LiveBPM gives me an objective way to measure my tempo while practicing. Played a few measures for 3 minutes and the graph was far from the flat line that would have showed perfect timing. My music teacher was right. But now I have a tool to correct the problem; being able to measure and graph my honest playing tempo. Even though this hasn't been updated recently, it works beautifully on Android 11 One-UI 3.1."
