Professional Tips for Music Production
Delay & Reverb Timing
- • Quarter notes (1/4): Spacious, rhythmic delays
- • Eighth notes (1/8): Tight, percussive echoes
- • Dotted notes: Add swing and groove feel
- • Sixteenth notes (1/16): Fast texture delays
LFO & Modulation Rates
- • Whole notes: Slow, evolving filter sweeps
- • Half notes: Moderate tremolo effects
- • Quarter notes: Rhythmic auto-pan
- • Triplets: Complex polyrhythmic modulation
How BPM to Milliseconds Conversion Works
The Formula
BPM → Milliseconds:
ms = 60,000 ÷ BPM
Milliseconds → BPM:
BPM = 60,000 ÷ ms
Common Applications
- • Setting delay times in Ableton Live, Logic Pro, FL Studio
- • Syncing LFO rates to song tempo
- • Programming step sequencers and drum machines
- • Timing modular synthesizer sequences
- • Setting up tempo-synced lighting systems
