BPM is a matter of opinion unless it is printed on sheet music, just the same as key. I can declare the BPM to be half (for 4/4) or twice what you think it is.

- toast0 3y agoYeah, but a range of 80 to 116 requires some contortions for something just out of range. I think if you had 125 bpm quarter notes, it's hard to get that to fit (other than just slowing it down a bit) I'm too young to internalize the speed gains for 33 rpm LPs on the 45 setting. (Is it just 33:45?) Maybe you can make things work by claiming that and claiming half or eighth notes are the beat. Like no, my 120 bpm record was really 60 bpm half notes, and you were playing it on 33, but it was meant for 45, so 60 / 33 * 45 = 82ish, so all is well?
