Frequently Asked Questions
What is BPM in music?
BPM stands for Beats Per Minute, which measures the tempo or speed of a piece of music. 60 BPM means one beat per second. Common dance music is 120-130 BPM.
Why are delay times important in music production?
Syncing delay effects to the tempo of your song creates musical, rhythmic echoes instead of random repetitions. Using tempo-synced delay times (quarter, eighth, dotted, triplet) keeps effects in time with the beat.
