Massive BPM Converter

I'm looking for software that will take 100 mp3s, and make them all 138 BPM. Is there anything out there that will read an mp3's bpm, convert it for me? I'm too lazy to do them one by one.

Thanks!

I don't know of one..... but why would you want to do that? Pitch slider fucked???!?!

lol, maybe he just wants to use a ghetto setup...like...2 discmans

I mean no joking...I've played on something very similar lol

you can put it on traktor... then move the bpm and then play the song and re-record it.

sounds like a pain in the ass.

If such a program even exists, it would have to read the original BPM and adapt it to 138 BPM thereafter. Since those BPM determination algorithms are not really reliable to say the least, you'd be stuck with a bunch of disfigured MP3's that still don't have the exact same BPM.

If that's what you're into, then go ahead. If not, save up a few extra bucks for some half-decent CDJ's with pitch control (or take a software program) and learn how to beatmatch.

Serato will do it. Go to Serato's site, download version 1.7. It's FREE. Load all the songs, than select all of them. Change one song, and it will change all of them at once.

Or, you can have Serato analyze all the songs for you and give you the correct BPM's.

serato lets you change the actual BPM of the song or the ID3 tag?

Long winded (& obvious ) way: pitch your tracks at 138 bpm on your CDJ's & record the output in the usual fashion then re-burn the mp3 onto a CD. Kinda takes the fun out of mixing though!

Serato lets you change the ID3 Tags. That's what I thought he meant.

Why would you want all your songs the same BPM?

Serato "Pitch n Time" sounds like the best program for what I need. I want all bpms the same so that I can make a megamix. The mega mix will have over 50 tracks and I am very methodical about my mixing on PCs, I preset all bpms prior to beatmatching. I currently use Atomix Mp3 for mixing and CoolEdit Pro for setting the bpms (very old school today) but it is taking forever.


Thank you everyone for the quick responses! You've been helpful.

you could just figure out the tracklist and then use a calculator to figure out the % +/- on the cdjs before hand to do your megamix. I have done that prior to recording demos.

lol the first 2 months of my dj career was to diskmans bacause i could only afford a mixer at first

i don't recommend using a calculator. this will be a pain in the ass, but the only sure-fire way of doing this for your purposes would be to first beatmatch them using Atomix, and jotting down what pitch it was. because if a program auto-calculates, then you will never be spot on.

now, once you got the different %s you want to change, go in and timewarp one by one.

that's tedious as hell though. if you want to do this much faster, just use Ableton. it'll auto-calculate the BPMs, but you may need to correct it a bit. however, once all your tracks are warped, then you can create your mix seemlessly and with ease. not to mention, if you screw up, Ableton has a "playlist" which you can work off of. meaning, you don't only get output audio, you get an output sequence which you can edit to your liking to then render as audio.

That sounds like the easiest way. I do that sometimes. With a simple calculation it takes you 5 seconds to determine - you don't even need to do it in advance.

pretty much the same here...the first club I've played at only had an american audio mixer and two CD players (you know those old ones like sony built)...they skipped like hell lol so I used two discmans instead
