hi ive decided to have a go at making my own bpm counter using c++ i was wondering if anyone knows of any decent sound librarys for either visual c++ 6 or borland c++, maybe with visual componants etc, not too sure if this is the right place to ask but thanks alot anyway :help:

How about using the "DSP and Plug-in Development" forum instead? :)

erm well im not developing any dsp or plugins so i didnt think it was apropriate :?

I think youll find you have to get into DSP for this, libraries dont have such specific audio functions and you will have to develop your own code to determine BPM. This will mean programming filters and peak detection.

"BPM counter" is not exactly a clear term. Do you want to display the current positition in a "Bars:Beats:Ticks" format, or do you want to determine the BPM from an incoming signal, or...?

Doesn't make it any clearer IMO.
