    Does anyone have a list of the beats per minute for all of the songs in Sonic 3K, or is there some program that can figure this out for me? Thanks.

    Most audio DAWs offer support for finding the BPM of a song. I recommend Zulu DJ Software, as it's completely free. You can download all of the songs from Sonic 3K on the wiki.

    EDIT: The auto-beatfinding seems to be iffy with Sonic tunes, but you can always tap the beat in too.

    It works well enough for my purposes, thanks a bunch!

    Lock if needed.

    No, at this point you might as well post the results of your experiments here, in case someone else needs BPMs for those songs, or in case you get wrong results and someone wants to tell you that you're doing it wrong:)

    edit: sometimes I type like a noob.

    Here's what I got. The acronyms should be easy enough to figure out.

    Title S3 - 114
    Title SK - 107
    Competition - 107
    MH1 - 106
    Azure Lake - 103
    Knuckles - 106
    Balloon Park - 193
    Special Stage - 193
    Chrome Gadget - 100
    Chaos Emerald - 108
    Desert Palace - 130
    Continue - 171
    Endless Mine - 133
    SK Invincibility - 116
    SK Midboss - 150
    No Way - 105
    Data Select - 112
    Act Clear - 109
    AIZ - 176
    MH2 - 113
    Antigrav - 120
    Slots - 112
    SK 1up - 106
    Boss - 150
    Game OVer - 112
    S3 Invincibility - 124
    S3 Midboss - 110
    FB1 - 150
    AI2 - 112
    FB2 - 150
    Gumball - 188
    S1 - 140
    S2 - 131
    LR1 - 118
    LR2 - 120
    HC1 - 195
    SS - 111
    DE1 - 116
    Out of Air - 113
    DE2 - 150
    HC2 - 103
    Final Boss - 200
    MG1 - 113
    MG2 - 114
    TD - 144
    CN1 - 110
    CN2 - 111
    IC1 - 138
    IC2 - 138
    LB1 - 197
    LB2 - 114
    Ending - 101

    Not all the tracks are here, just what I needed.

    Also, since the thread is still open, does anyone have high quality versions of the voice samples? You know, the "Go" from Launch Base, the "C'mon" from the Midboss song. If no one has them, I was just gonna splice them out of some MJ songs.

    Thanks for the list, hopefully it will be useful to someone else in the future :)

    As for the samples, I'm sure somewhere on this forum there are the ones extracted directly from the ROM, but I'm not sure they're high quality enough for what you're doing...

    Yeah, that's the stuff. Thanks.

    I dunno how accurate the BPM list I posted is, by the way. I seem to recall reading somewhere in the Sonic 4 thread that Angel Island 1 was 133 BPM. =/

    You know, I'm dumb. I just realised you can use the BPM from the midi files in the Sonic & Knuckles Collection <_<

    I'll edit this post later with a list.

    Keep in mind that there are also the replaced tracks in there (e.g. LBZ, ICZ, CNZ, the competition menu, and that unused song).

    I have no idea what BPMs are for what track, and I don't have the MIDIs on me. Can you let me know, if it's not a problem? I appreciate the help. As far as I can tell, the BPMs I found are completely wrong.

    That was me actually. :(
    But they were only estimates: I was actually figuring out the numbers the old-fashioned way by using a real metronome that I have and found that 133 was very close to the song's tempo when I played the game itself. But I'm glad to know I was off by only 3 BPM! :)

    It is possible, and it is actually very likely, that the midi files in the S&K Collection have a slightly different speed than the original songs on the Genesis, so your 133 estimate might be correct as well.
