Frequently Asked Questions
How accurate is MusicMind BPM detection?+
MusicMind uses onset detection and autocorrelation for sub-BPM accuracy. For steady-tempo tracks, accuracy is typically within 0.5 BPM.
What is groove analysis?+
Groove analysis measures how much a track deviates from a perfect grid — including swing ratio, humanization percentage, and rhythmic consistency.
What BPM ranges correspond to which genres?+
Lo-fi: 70-90 BPM, Hip-Hop: 80-100, Pop: 100-130, House: 120-130, EDM: 126-132, Dubstep: 138-142, Trap: 130-170, Techno: 125-140.
Tap tempo vs upload — which is more accurate?+
Upload analysis is far more accurate. Tap tempo gives a human-approximated BPM; audio analysis detects the exact tempo from onset patterns.
