Cool.<br /><br />By "perfect," I don't mean ideal. Perfect pitch is the ability to identify a note. If someone plays middle C on the piano, and you can tell it's middle C without looking, you have perfect pitch.<br /><br />So, perfect tempo would be the ability to identify BPM without the aid of a metronome or cheat sheet.cinderkeyshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01578961959712679966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8373573052582581717.post-59777496076752667032010-04-09T09:02:46.564-07:002010-04-09T09:02:46.564-07:00They actually DO generally post BPM for techno/dan...They actually DO generally post BPM for techno/dance music. I think that's mostly so DJs can mix songs together without any jarring changes.<br /><br />I think perfect tempo is a bit too subjective and variable to be an issue. I mean, what's the perfect tempo for a heavy metal song? Depends on the genre of heavy metal. Thrash tends to be fast, 'doom metal' tends to be slow and ponderous.<br /><br />One good moment from the otherwise useless "Rockstar: INXS" was when a singer sung "Hit Me Baby One More Time" at a much slower tempo than Britney Spears did, which effectively turned it into a psycho stalker song.<br /><br />Brian.Brian McDonaldhttp://HellsquidsIntl.comnoreply@blogger.com
