Not this again…
Anyone know a BPM analyser that will write the BPM of a WAV file to the file name???
Doesn’t MiK do that?
These are short loops (.wavs) - MiK gets the key, but doesn’t get the tempo (returns a blank). Strangely, if I convert to .mp3, MiK gets the key & tempo - BUT (big fucking but) - converting .wav loops to .mp3 adds silence to the start and end of the loop, so it doesn’t bloody loop any more!!! X-(
Important lesson here - NEVER CONVERT .WAV LOOPS TO .MP3!!!
Are the BPM fields already tagged? If so, MP#tag will do it.
They’re .wav’s, mate…
Wavs have tags now. :-p
I use MIK for sample management. Havent had an issue on anything that has at least 4 beats in the break for bpm detection. For anything smaller, you may just need to find the bpm manually. Sucks when doing in bulk, but its one of those things where you do it once and done then just do it manually from then going forward for every new sample you record.
Wait - .wavs have tags?
There is no metadata in a WAV file. Try FLAC, OGG, or MP3.
Actually with BWAV there is metadata but no DJ software that I know of takes advantage of it.
Just to confirm - I want the BPM added to the FILENAME, not added as a tag…
Have you considered using AIFF? …which does support tags.
Ah… That’s a horse of a different color. Not one you’re likely to find though.
I’m fairly sure the old version of MiK was able to do that. I have some older tracks with the BPM in the filename.
MiK does add info the filename (Key - BPM - Filename) in .wavs, BUT, MiK isn’t recognising the BPM (just the key) of my short .wav loops.
Can ya provide a zip file containing some of the loops you are trying to tag. Just curious, as my current version of MIK detects bpms of my loops.
