Find the tempo and key of any song

Tempo and key are detected during processing and shown on the track. The metronome sits on the detected beats, and the key can be shifted to suit you right there.

Drummers need the BPM to set a click before playing along to a drumless track; everyone else needs it to know what tempo to start learning at. The key saves you working it out by ear so you can play in the right tuning from the start. Both are computed from the recording itself.

Tempo and key detection is part of the processing, not a separate button: along with the numbers you get the stems, a metronome on the beats and a player where you can change the key and the tempo independently.

What you can do

BPM from the recording

The tempo is measured from the song itself; the beat grid drives the metronome, which stays locked even when slowed down.

Key

Tonic and mode are shown on the track. Want a different one — transpose by the number of semitones you need.

Stems included

Vocals, drums, bass, guitar, keys — separately; mute your part and play along with the rest.

FAQ

How accurate is the BPM?

For songs with a steady beat, to the nearest whole beat. For recordings with a drifting tempo the average is shown, while the metronome follows the actual beats rather than the average.

Does it show major or minor?

Tonic and mode, for example A minor or F major. For songs with a modulation, the main key.

Do I need to install anything?

No. Everything runs in the browser, on a computer or a phone: upload, processing and the stem player are all on the site.

How many stems do I get, and which files work?

Six stems: vocals, drums, bass, guitar, keys and everything else — many services give four. MP3, WAV, FLAC, M4A and OGG files up to 200 MB work, or a YouTube, RuTube or VK Video link up to 20 minutes long. Download any stem, or any mix of them, as one WAV file.
