BPMKeyFinder

What is BPMKeyFinder?

BPMKeyFinder is a web-based application designed to help DJs, music producers, and educators quickly and accurately analyze the tempo (BPM), musical key, and Camelot code of any audio track. It leverages the Essentia.js library for precise audio analysis, providing results directly within your web browser. This tool is built with a focus on privacy, ensuring that your audio files are processed locally without leaving your device.

How to Use BPMKeyFinder

1. Upload Your Audio: Drag and drop an audio file (MP3, WAV, FLAC, AIFF, AAC, or OGG) into the designated area, or click to browse and select a file from your device.
2. Analysis: The tool automatically analyzes the uploaded track, calculating the BPM, key, Camelot code, and confidence level.
3. Review Results: View the analysis results, including the BPM, musical key (e.g., C major or A minor), Camelot code (e.g., 8B), and the confidence level of the detection.
4. Export (Pro Users): Pro users can export the results as a CSV file for use in DJ software or for record-keeping.

FAQ from BPMKeyFinder

• How accurate is the analyzer? BPMKeyFinder uses Essentia.js for audio analysis. The tool normalizes the detected tempo and flags tracks that may fit better at double-time or half-time.
• Do my audio files ever leave my device? No, all analysis runs entirely in your web browser.
• Which formats and track lengths are supported? Supports MP3, WAV, FLAC, AIFF, AAC, and OGG. There is no strict limit on track length aside from your device's memory constraints.
• Can I analyze streaming audio or YouTube links? Not at this time. BPMKeyFinder currently supports only local audio files.
• How does the share feature work? The share feature generates a unique shareable link that encodes the analysis results (BPM, key, etc.) directly in the URL using base64 encoding.
• Is my shared data private and secure? Yes, the share feature only includes analysis metadata, never your actual audio file. The data is encoded in the URL itself, not stored on any server.
