What Users are Saying about liveBPM
-
John Walden, freelance musician and music technology journalist at musicappblog.com:
"There are three obvious applications for the app. First, it would make a brilliant practice tool for a drummer, allowing them to monitor just how good they are at keeping a steady tempo without the aid of a click track to guide them. Second, sat beside your kit during a performance, it would allow you to judge just how well you are hitting the ideal tempo for each song in your set. It’s not just drummers that can benefit from liveBPM as the third use is in mapping the tempo – and any tempo changes – in commercial recordings. While this is useful for drummers, it is instructional for almost any musician."

JonLong:
"I used this at my last band practice and wasn't expecting it to work. I couldn't believe how quickly and accurately it started tracking the bpm, even despite the very loud volume of our music."
-
PocketDrummer82:
"I am a professional drummer and I have been looking for something like this for years! Unless you're playing with backing tracks or recording, playing with a click is too mechanical. This app allows the tempo to breathe, and it's like a little angel on your shoulder telling you the band is speeding up or slowing down. It is totally worth the money."

Chris Walther:
"I have used this for about five gigs now and have quit using my previous tempo meter. I used both for a few gigs to test the accuracy. Dead on. Thanks! Every drummer should use this."

"This has been very helpful for recording. Thanks!"
