‘BeatMatching’ sometimes known as ‘BeatMaxing’ is a DJ’s staple technique for seemlesly matching the tempo of one piece of music with that of another.

LickMixeR’s simple one touch Beat and Rhythmic options menu now offers any music listener the opportunity to create their very own playlists of ‘BeatMatched’ tracks.

What is BPM ?

BPM or Beats Per Minute is simply a measure of tempo in music.

LickMixeR allows the user to vary this tempo using the BPM auto selector feature within the app. So anyone can instantly adjust the ‘speed’ of any track either up or down ie: slower or faster. This aligned to the apps preset rhythm settings opens the potential to generate and experience 1000’s of alternative beat and rhythmic options around any given piece of music.

LickMixeR is a music application that can automatically identify the Beat and Rhythm structure from music signals, and using this information instantly perform novel content based transformations. The transformation itself is driven by an audio time-stretching algorithm which can dynamically modify the speed of a piece of music without altering its pitch.

While time-stretching algorithms have been used in audio production to modify the global tempo of pieces of music (e.g.increase the tempo by 20%) They have yet to be used in combination with any form of automatic rhythmic analysis.
