Check out MixMeister BPM Analyzer. You can just drag and drop your whole library there, let it do its thing, and it'll spit you out a file (a few formats are available) of all the info. It even changed the BPM entry for each individual song in iTunes. Want some more utility out of all this? Upload the data file to Google Docs.
From what I can tell, the results of the analyzer from tracks on my computer are almost identical to accurate BPM values I've been able to find online.
Oh, I almost forgot. Sort your entire library by BPM, look for songs that are near each other that would make a good mashup, then try to make it.
Abelton works, go look up some tutorials to help you out if you don't want to purchase new software. In general,aAny other DAW will work too.
Mixmeister is very powerful and easy to use, and is what you are looking for. Depending on your OS, may or may not currently be working. e: looks like they made a windows 8 update, surprising.
Try MixMeister BPM Analyzer, it is a bit more robust than the track analyzer within Serato and can determine precise BPMs of anything you run through it. I use it to read BPMs on vinyl I rip, and the occasional tune that Serato fails to get a read on. You take the outputs from MixMeister and manually enter them as the BPM in Serato and it will adjust the Beatgrid (and usually give you a warning dialog before you do this). Well worth the $4.
Yeah that's a bit of a bummer, if only someone could make an Android version of Mixmeister BPM analyzer.
I have around 100gb of stuff ranging from 1970's up to the present day, sometimes genre isn't a good enough flag to play by, but I've set up playlists on the PC using a mixture of BPM and genre and have come out with some good playlists.
It's pretty straightforward once you get to grips with it. They have a free demo that works fairly well. All you do is find songs with a similar BPM and drag them both into the playlist and then line the beats up. It has a few options that basically does it for you. I'm musically incompetent and I can do it (not to the highest standard admittedly) so if I can do it, you probably can.
Cant talk about the tracks, but if you plan to mix it and just play the mixed file later (Not mixing live that is) the best and easier apps you can use are MixMeister: http://www.mixmeister.com/ (ancient as fuck but does the job very well) or Mashup from Mixed in Key: http://mashup.mixedinkey.com/ (newer app with more features)
Ahh. Gotcha. I found this app for iOS (kind of old), here's a $4 software program you can use on your existing library, and here's another website that may have more/different songs than jog.fm!
What do you want to mash with it?
Once you find something you like and is relatively close in BPM, you have to line up the beats... In this you can hear the snare clearly and you would use that if you wanted something to line up with it.
For example, your song is about 100 BPM and Rack City by Tyga is close to this.
I listened to when the "snaps" in the instrumentals happened (what words they lined up with, etc) and then lined up the snare from your instrumental.
I made this in about 5 min of work using Rack City and your instrumental.
To figure out BPMs of songs, you can use www.songbpm.com, MixMeister BPM Analyzer, or google.
What are you using for software? If you don't have any software to manipulate the audio, it's going to be near impossible to find a good match. I use Ableton Live, but if you don't want to buy (super expensive) or pirate it, there are fantastic free others like Audacity. I don't know much about audacity specifically, but if you want to match beats with another song and the BPMs/etc aren't perfect, you'll have to "stretch" the audio....or speed it up or slow it down.
I prefer downbeat electronica, but I think it's important to have an arc in intensity. By this, I mean, I start off at 80BPM and try to peak at around 120 BPM by 2 hours 30 minutes, then gradually until 5 hours in, I'm back down to around 80BPM.
Don't know the BPM of your music library? This free tool will add it to the appropriate category.
Or any of the MixMeister suite. There's MixMeister Studio and the cheaper MixMeister Express. Fusion is the full-blown live performance/studio software.
You want to manually prepare and create/render a mix with no equipment other than your computer? Check out MixMeister Fusion.
Serato Pyro will automatically mix a playlist of music for you on the fly if you don't care to invest so much time manually setting up a mix using just your mouse. It works pretty well also for what it is.
Mixmeister Express might be what you're looking for - I haven't used it but I believe it's the right sort of thing.
There's a free demo of all their product versions - so if Express is too limited for you, you might be able to just make what you need with the 15-day trial of the higher-end Studio product.
Regular DJ software is entirely built around the idea of a live performance (and possibly recording it) - but if you just want to make "pre-mixed" sets, Mixmeister is the right sort of thing.
Try using this, it's very accurate and completely free: http://www.mixmeister.com/download-bpmanalyzer.php
If it gives you a decimal (Like 149.7 or 99.5), just round to the nearest whole number and that'll usually be right.
You could look at MixMeister.
I've not used it and can't advise much, but I think it might be what you want - a DJ / mix-making app which is not a purely live-only tool.
They do! I used it for years but recently I've been trying to train myself to recognise BPMs (currently, I'm +-10 XD)
Here's a link http://www.mixmeister.com/download-bpmanalyzer.php (used to be free, but now it costs $3.99. I'd just buy it anyway!)
But Mixmeister can, COME ON!
Such a delusional fuck, I enjoyed mixing vinyl and all but I wanted to mix so I can play some of my productions on cdj's(at the time) and get exposure. You are nothing but a record player, not an artist, you are not mixmaster mike or the avalanches.
I'd recommend Mixmeister Express: http://www.mixmeister.com however, the software hasn't been updated for quite some time, but it is excellent for creating playlists and also dropping in songs as required. You can also turn auto-beat mixing off and just use other transitions such as a simple fade.
Also look into MixMeister's BPM Analyzer. It's free, and you just drag and drop into it for the BPM of a song. :)
I use Mixed In Key. Its a GREAT tool and it tells you the bpm and key of your song so you can mix harmonically. It also updates itunes automatically so you always have the info nearby.
otherwise mixmeister has a free bpm calculator here.
I use a BPM analyzer (free) on my music collection. It might work on single tracks. I agree, this would be a useful feature to have built-in to Reaper.
Mixmeister can do this.
There's also a [plugin](http://wiki.hydrogenaudio.org/index.php?title=Foobar2000:Components/Automatic_BPM_Analyser_(foo_bpm) for Foobar that analyzes BPM, but I've never used that.
Edit
Dammit. Just add a closed parenthesis to that plugin link. Sorry, I'm link stupid.
