    Default Another BPM Lesson For The Kiddies

    In this example, we have Darth and Vader with a glorious 128 BPM remix of Coming Alive by Vandalism and iKid.

    Notice the crafty way they weave a 64 BPM dubstep drop at 3:40, then nimbly double back to 128 BPM.

    Stay tuned for another lesson soon.

    +1. 128 is a very standard tempo, and I don't see any skill involved in going to and from half/double time (definitely not 'crafty' or 'nimble').

    No no no - you've all missed the lesson here... 128 divided by 2, is 64. BUT...

    64 times by 2 is 128!!!

    The man's a genius. Truly.

    it was intended for the idiots that think that 70 BPM dubstep is actually 140 BPM.

    what is your problem, man? i think weīve been over this debate several times and iīd say that in fact the idiot is you for starting a thread so meaningless and with no good intentions at all. very helpful to the community as well...

    Tell that to Traktor's beat detection...

    As for the drop, suspect this was done in Ableton Live or something similar so it's not that hard to calculate the pauses and with grid help and tempo automation figure out how things sound smooth. I was hoping this was a live DJ event or something similar, that's where this talent would have been true.
