When i was first thinking tho WB stuff i got idea not to do two tracks in row that are within 10bpm range. I failed I didn't know that i failed until today when i went trough my submitted tracks and found out that two had same bpm. They sound so different. All is good as long as none are 70/140BPM

Here is my list so far:
W1 110 BPM
W2 125 BPM
W3 100 BPM
W4 100 BPM
W5 110 BPM
W6 120 BPM
W7 90 BPM
W8 170 BPM
W9 93 BPM

(I had to listen all tracks and use tap tempo website to get my BPM's as i only remember what i did yesterday)

I started typing out my weebees' BPMs and gave up half way since they were all in the 120-140 range.

Why fix what ain't broke?

I don't ever pay attention to bpm.

i just type in whatever number sounds fun to me that week, and try to avoid "pretty" numbers like 120 in favor of weird numbers like 117 or 79. I DO WHAT I WANT.

Same here, I do 140 at times, but 123, 91, or 135 aren't too bad either.

I have one at about 30bpm and another at about 190.

It's worth considering that how you feel an underlying pulse can vary greatly. So if you're not looking, 35, 70, 140, 280 etc can all feel the same.

Default for Ableton is 120, so that's what I usually start at. But 120 can result in a slow, moderate or fast feeling, depending on phrasing.

Just quickly Re-analysed them in Virtual DJ (too late t fire up Logic and load each individual file, I need sleep )

W1: 90
W2: 87
W3: 105
W4 81
W5: 125.3
W6: 120.2
W7: 158.5
W8: 100
W9: 87.96

Must admit I'm a bit skeptical about the ones with decimal points. Sure I wouldn't type something like that in. That's Virtual DJ for you. But I'm pretty sure they're roughly correct.
