simple easy accurate way:
first of all, BPM means BEATS PER MINUTE (duh)

play the track and count the beats ( kicks ) for a minute (60 secondes) do that 3 times
add the 3 times results together then divide that number by 3 < this is the BPM of the track ur hearing. (93%accurate)

with time if using this technique, u will be able to know the BPM of a track in less then 15 secondes,., if u practice ur ears enough.

what if the track is a breakbeat? i guess this won't work

^ it isn't an accurate method for breaks, but breaks also have a
repeatative beat that you can follow.
i think u can count the kicks for more than 3 minutes so u can catch the
tempo right, and then follow the same method system.s suggested.

logic
BPM = beat per minute
means that the BPM of a track is how many beat that runs in a minute.
to be more accurate at first i used to count it 3 times then divide by 3 to have an exact number, then i was able to get it right from the first time, now a days i can tell the bpm from the first 10 or 15 secondes, cus what u can do is count for 30 seconde and make it times x2
or count for 10 secondes and make it times x3....
logic

ummmm . . . . yes?
wat kind of question is this,
its missing, continue it

huh?
man who said u should know the BPM of all ur tracks??
am saying how to get the BPM of a track ur playing in a fast way.

u HAVE to calculate the BPM, how r u gonna mix ur second or thrid track with the current playing one if u dont know the BPM of each ?!
u play a track and u wanna get in another one in the mix, u cue the second one in the headphones and say: mmmm this one look faster, lets make it slower....mmmm now its fine i guess, yalla n hit it up? shu mix abu 3antar howweh?!

for example:
you playing a track....the BPM is 135, 1 minute is left, u listen to the second track on the headphones, u calculate....its 138, u can actualy mix 135 with 138 but for a short periode, if u play those tracks together n mix them, it'll work fine for like 10 or 12 secondes then ur mix is gonna go wrong, unless u start slowin down the first vynil (or cd) everytime u feel the mix is hitin wrong, which is bad cus the audiance will feel it...
so u calculate....its 138.....mmmm pitch is dow....137....136....135 tak!
u search for the right beat, CUE! wait for the perfect moment and start ur mix, thats how it works.

thats one, now 2, if u wanna remix live, how are u gonna do that if u dont knwo the BPM of the original track and the BPM of the track u created??
aslan how did u created ur track?? ddnt u set a specific BPM for it?!

Dream boy u said; Well, for a talented Dj i guess knowing the bpm won't make any difference coz he can depend on his ears.
what is that suppose to mean bro? of course a good dj depend on his ear, but what is his ears for?? to listen to the beats and get the bpm so that he mix it with the other tracks pending...

for a moment, reading wat u guys wrote makes me wonder..... kind of shoked actualy, hmmm

ummm share me ur precious information and techniques and PLEASE write down to me exactly how u mix 2 tracks together or do a simple mix....
