Topic: A beat counter?

This topic is old and might contain outdated or incorrect information.

Do you guys know if you can find any plugin that counts how many beat a build is or how long the end is, so it can become easier to match tracks into eachother, if so, link that to me, or you can help me with some of your tips!

Thanks

Yea, I have the ability to count myself, of course. But I wanted to know if there was any faster way to just count them! =)

Most DJ's will just count the beat in there head but I found this, http://www.kvraudio.com/product/beatcounter-by-teragon-audio

But counting beats is a fundamental skill that any DJ should have, I'd suggest you practice up..............


Oh, Well, this is not what Im searching for anyways. I want to know how many beats it is from the start of an build to the actual drop, if you understand?

Using your ears and the waveform at the top of the screen is the best way :)

VDJ Pro can do it natively. In my skin I set it to count down in beats to cuepoints that I have set at various places in the track.

Eg if you set cue 3 as you breakdown cue you could do the textzone action as "%Bfromcue3"

'the red B is the modifier to change time into beats'

here is some more stuff you could use

%tocueX : print the time to the Xth cue point (can use modifiers)
%fromcueX : print the time elapsed from the Xth cue point (can use modifiers)
%start : print the time position of the first beat (can use modifiers)
%end : print the time position of the last beat (can use modifiers)
%tostart : print the time to the first beat (can use modifiers)
%toend : print the time to the last beat (can use modifiers)
%fromstart : print the time elapsed from the first beat (can use modifiers)
%fromend : print the time elapsed from the last beat (can use modifiers)

LOL! that is why I love VDJ.. The dev team have thought of everything you could ever want.. just a shame not even half of it is included in the default skin which is what most would use.

You should also use "P" which will alter the counts based on the current pitch

Not useful for Beats though. Pitch is not changing the beat numbers ;) The original request was for beats.
