2

Detect BPM & Key

Hit Detect BPM & key. The song is analyzed on our servers — usually just a few seconds.

3

Read the Three Cards

The BPM, the musical key, and the Camelot code appear right on the page — ready to copy into your set list or project.

Why Notevibes

Why Notevibes BPM Detector

Three answers from one upload — fast, honest, and private.

Exact BPM, Not a Guess

The analysis measures the actual beat of the recording and returns the tempo as a number — no tapping along, no rounding by ear.

Key + Camelot Code

Alongside the BPM you get the musical key and scale (like A minor) and its Camelot code (8A) — the notation DJs use for harmonic mixing.

Results in Seconds

Analysis runs on our servers and usually comes back in just a few seconds, even for a full-length song.

Private by Design

Your song is analyzed on our own Google Cloud servers and deleted automatically right after — only the numbers come back to the page.

Free, No Sign-Up

No account, no credits, no paywall. A generous fair-use limit — several files per minute — keeps the tool free for everyone.

Made for

What You Can Do With BPM & Key

Every upload returns the tempo, the key, and the Camelot code.

DJ Harmonic Mixing

Pick the next track by Camelot code so the keys blend instead of clash

Tempo-Matched Playlists

Build running, workout, or party playlists that hold a steady BPM

Remix & Mashup Prep

Check two songs share a tempo and compatible keys before you blend them

Practice Metronome

Set your metronome to the song's exact BPM when learning or rehearsing it

Sample Matching

Find a sample's tempo and key so it drops into your project in time and in tune

Music Library Labeling

Tag your collection with BPM and key so the right track is one search away

Stop Tapping Along to Guess the Tempo

You know the routine: play the song, tap along on a metronome app, and hope you kept time. And even when the tempo lines up, a mashup can still fall apart because the keys don’t fit and the two songs grind against each other. This tool answers both questions at once — upload a song, and a few seconds later you have the exact BPM, the musical key, and the Camelot code.

One upload, three answers

The result comes back as three cards: the tempo in BPM, the key and scale (say, A minor), and the matching Camelot code (8A). The Camelot wheel is DJ shorthand for which keys fit — adjacent numbers on the wheel mix well together, so picking a harmonically compatible next track is as easy as reading two codes. Under the hood it’s the same analysis engine the Notevibes editor uses, measuring the actual beat and harmonic content of your recording rather than guessing from a title or a tag.

Honest about accuracy

Tempo detection is very reliable — on music with a steady beat, the number you get is the tempo of the record. Two honest caveats. Songs with a strong half-time or double-time feel can read at half or double the tempo you’d tap, so if 140 comes back as 70, just double it. And key detection is a strong starting point rather than a verdict: most clearly tonal songs come back right, but on ambiguous or heavily layered material, trust your ears over the label.

Your music stays yours

Your file uploads over an encrypted connection, is analyzed on our own servers, and is deleted automatically the moment the numbers come back. Nothing is stored, shared, or used to train AI — and there’s no sign-up, just a generous fair-use limit of several files per minute that keeps the tool free for everyone.

What to do with the numbers

Once you know the tempo and key, the rest of the toolkit picks up where the detector leaves off. Retime a track without changing its pitch with the tempo changer, shift a song to your set’s tempo with the BPM changer, pull the drums or vocals out for a remix with the stem splitter, or tune a vocal to the detected key with online autotune.

FAQ

BPM Detector FAQ

How does the BPM detector work?

Your song is uploaded over an encrypted connection and analyzed on our own Google Cloud servers. The analysis measures the beat of the recording to find the tempo and its harmonic content to estimate the key, then returns three results — the BPM, the key and scale, and the Camelot code — usually in just a few seconds.

Is the BPM detector free?

Yes. No sign-up, no credits, no paywall — the results appear right on the page. To keep it free for everyone there is a generous fair-use limit of several files per minute, and files are capped at 40 MB.

How accurate is the BPM?

Very reliable on music with a steady beat — pop, rock, electronic, and hip-hop almost always come back with the tempo of the record. The one classic ambiguity: songs with a strong half-time or double-time feel can read at half or double the tempo you would tap. If 140 comes back as 70, just double it.

How accurate is the key detection?

It is a strong starting point rather than a verdict. Most clearly tonal songs come back with the right key, but ambiguous, modal, or heavily layered material can fool any key detector — relative major and minor keys are the most common mix-up. Use the result to narrow it down, then trust your ears.

What is a Camelot code?

The Camelot wheel is DJ shorthand for musical keys: each key gets a number from 1 to 12 plus a letter — A for minor, B for major — so A minor becomes 8A. Adjacent numbers on the wheel mix well together, which makes picking a harmonically compatible next track as easy as reading two codes.

What file formats are supported?

MP3, WAV, M4A, FLAC, OGG, and AAC up to 40 MB. Mono and stereo files both work — the analysis only reads the audio, so nothing is converted or changed.

What happens to my file?

It is uploaded over an encrypted connection, analyzed on our own Google Cloud servers, and deleted automatically right after the analysis finishes. Only the numbers come back to the page — the audio is never stored, shared, or used for training.
