Beats & Measures Table

[Ian Stone]

For those of you like myself who are tired of breaking out the abacus everytime you need to figure out that BPM, or worse yet, counting your fingers and toes, here's a Beats & Measures table I put together for quick reference. It covers mainly the Techno/Trance tempo's of 120-140 BPM, but you can always add to it.
