QUESTIONS, ANSWERED
Frequently asked questions
How many times should I tap?
At least four taps are needed, while eight or more steady taps generally make the average more reliable.
Why does the tapper reset?
A pause longer than three seconds starts a new measurement so an old session does not distort the next song.
Do I need to upload the song?
No. Play it from any source and tap along; this tool only measures the timing of your taps.
