Find the beat?

Hi I'm new to this. I want to creat an music album where all the songs have the same beat count (128bpm).
I know how to use the "Change Tempo" tool but I need to determine the bps of each song so I can
change them to 128bpm.
Thanks

Look at your wrist watch and count the beats. This method is more accurate than any beat counting software.

Yeah. You're stuck. Everybody makes "beat counter" software and none of it works very well. Between back beats which count two for every "real" beat and dance tunes that have several measures of rest theme in the middle with no beat all, the old Timex is not a bad way to go. Time way too much and divide for increased accuracy. Like count ten seconds and divide by ten, or count two minutes and divide by 2. Oversample for better accuracy.
