Hey,

My favorite speed is 106 for hip hop, 120 for the faster stuff, 130 for house, 140 for techno, 165 for hardcore.

Oh, and 74.561 for r&b.

dam 106 let me here 1 thats fast

 

[N.U.G.]

usually from 80 to 100 but I'd like to try more slower and faster tempos.

 

[Knock Out]

Tempo is DEFINENTLY based on what you use... I use fruity loops, and just about all of my beats are in the 90-95 range. Other programs and machines are different from one another.

Hotshotz,

Check out Pourin Black Rain, a steady 106 bpm:

Take care,

78-100....when i work on certain sequencers I double those tempos so I can get more velocity and put in different hi hat patterns especially if I use the mpc or mp7

 

[xkwest]

77-100bpm.... anything slower than 77 is so boring and slow for me to produce.... anything over.... makes feel like techno..

 

[Guevara]

Yeah, Knocl Out banged it out, im a fruityloops head myself so everything i hit is between 85 and 100, sometimes 80, it depends on how yechnical and how official your setup, cuz even though the the fruityloops tempo remains constant it u beat match it it might be a different tempo, i just use fruityloops tempos to adjust my samples and to make em fit into the bars correctly.CiTY

 

[Copenhagen]

I would have to say between 65-115 for R&B...and between 85-105 for Rap...

 

[themucka]

dirty south...... tempos..... 72-82... get that hhat dble efx... typical gansta....
even 110-120....

midwest swang... is 90- 105....

then traditonal hip hop... 86-105...

BOW 4 R&B....
that slow slow ... 60-68 works good...
THAT MID SLOW... 70-78....
MID TEMPO.... STANDARD RNB HIT.... 80-96...
UP TEMPO ANYTHING ABOVE...

I TEND 2 DO BEATS LIKE THIS MAYBE THIS WILL HELP....

MAKE A LIST OF THREE FOLDERS... 4 RNB AND HIP HOP
SLOW
MID
UP...

DO 3 OF EACH EVERYWEEK... THAT WAY YOU CAN OFFER A GOOD BALANCE.. OF MUSIC... 4 ALBUMS OTHER MATERIALL...

AND NOT EVERYTHING IS ALL THE SAME PACE... THERE'S A FLOW...

 

[Shonsteez]

It kind depends on what signiture im in first, whether it be 1/16, 1/16T---which iz usaully a rarity, or 1/8T.......
But when im in 1/8T.......Its usaully from 90 - 120.

If its 1/16...my newer preference - than its usally at 80 - 106

[Fila]

can i adjust the tempo in Cubase ?? if so how would i do it?

when making songs in FL i usually use 90bmp

Thanks!

 

[vitaminman]

Fila,

Double-click on the tempo box on the transport bar and enter the new tempo. Make sure that the Master button has been disabled.

Take care,

Nick

 

[Fila]

^ Thanks v-man, good looking out.

 

[Equality 7-2521]

i try to vary it as much as i can. anywhere from 60 - 120 but it depends how many pads per bar on the redrum

 

[DJlow2]

170... which is actually 85 bpm... but having it at 170 lets me fool around with the kick, snare, hi hat combo.... i'm using FL Studio and Reason 2.5 and i produce from a rapper's perspective having been a rapper myself...

i've noticed that 90- 95 tempos producer generic kick combos.. and theres a limit of how long a break can be if you put your bpm too slow... therefore its best to pump up the tempo in order for you to add goodies to fill the gaps...

I really don't have a set tempo range that I use. I just get on my keyboard and play and whatever tempo it happens to be is the tempo of that beat.

 

[KillaMitrxxx]

Same here JClay,I can't stick to the same formula cuz I like to diversify some.It'z like whatever beat and tempo popz up in my head,i run wit it.

 

[TKNK]

SAME HERR
I FIND AN SOUND, I LIKE TAP THE TEMPO N, N RECORD IT.
BUT REALLY MOST OF MY BEATS ARE LIKE THE WEATHER IN CALI
ANYWHERE FROM 75-105 BPM
THE TEMPO MAKES THE MODE 2 IF U KNO.
