Most trap producers tend to set the DAW to double the actual BPM. ItвЂ™s double the actual tempo (if you use the snare on 2 and 4) IвЂ™ll also call this вЂњDAW BPMвЂќ because itвЂ™s the BPM most producers will use to create a trap beat. The Double tempo is found by simply doubling the normal BPM, or tapping the beat while keeping the snare or clap hits on beat three. Or perhaps for some of you, you can simply feel the music better with less clicking of the metronome. You might choose to set your DAW BPM to normal time if you come from a more traditional music background and itвЂ™s easier for you to think this way. So according to normal BPM, most trap songs are actually about 70 BPMs, but youвЂ™ll be setting your DAW to about 140BPM The normal tempo can be found by assigning the main snare hits to beats 2 and 4. It can also sometimes make it easier to play parts in live as you can hear more of the time subdivisions. They do this to make it easier to program faster percussion rolls, for instance with hi-hats, snares of kick drums. Part of the confusion about the вЂњcorrectвЂќ tempo for trap comes from the fact that producers will often set the metronome in their DAW to 2x the actual speed of the trap beat. Some trap songs, however, are as slow as 100-130 BPM or as fast as 150-200 BPM Normal BPM Time Vs Double (DAW) BPM Time In fact, I reviewed the BPMs of over 50 of the most popular trap songs of all time, and the average range falls between 130-150 BPMs. The average tempo of trap music is about 140 BPMs (Beats per minute).
