in our studio, we always use Acid Pro to beatmap acapellas and samples. you can beatmap the sample and then timestretch it to whatever bpm you need it to be.

Yes you can. It is a bit harder than finding the BPM of a song, but it's possible.
Just search for the 'key-elements' of the vocals, i.e. when a vocal hits the first beat. Just count on from there...

I know that some people can "calculate" the bpm by hands some how...But I don't know how they do it...Any ideas?

yeah, you look at the clock, and count the nr of beats you hear in 10 seconds, multiply by 6 and tada
(our the beats in 20 sec. * 3, or any other version of this..)
not extremely acurate but still

'u can find out BPM of acapellas in ACid?'
yea acid pro has a funky beatslicer. what it does is find the first 'downbeat' (hard to explain but if a voice is singing you can in most cases tap your foot to it constantly (especially in acappellas which are already produced in time), the first downbeat is the first foot tap, hence the first imaginary 'beat'), then you manually set a a loop point on the accapella and it calculates a bpm based on the number of downbeats per loop over the length of the track. or something like that. its not perfect but it works better than most beatslicers. if you think acid hasnt set the first downbeat properly you can manually set it yourself.

melodyne is another program that can find the bpm for ya.
you just load the track and then push a button to slice it up automaticly and it'll find a prett yacurate bpm.
then all you need to do is doublecheck it and fix thoose last 0.5 bpm by yourself so it's perfectly matched
