Does anyone know the formula for figuring out how many mins... is so many bars... ie: 16bars=?mins. ....Help me.Please!

Its all about the beats per minute (BPM)(Tempo) there is no time or formula for it. Depending on how you record ... you should always tempo map everything that way if you want to fly in hooks or verses you just align it up with the tempo map.

Hey,

There is a formula...I can't be bothered to figure it out right now.

Just go here and let the sire calculate it for you!!

Hey,

Figured it out:

t = (60/b) * 4m * s

Where:

t = time in seconds
b = tempo in BPM
m = number of measures
s = time signature

So, if you have a 4/4 song which is 16 bars long at 120 BPM, you would do this:

t = (60/120) * 4(16) * (4/4)
-
t = (.5) * (64) * (1)
-
t = 32 seconds.



If you have a 7/8 song which is 64 bars long at 106 BPM, you would do this:

t = (60/106) * 4(64) * (7/8)
-
t = (.57) * (256) * (.875)
-
t = 126.8 seconds (rounded)


There will be quiz tomorrow.
