Something I like to share with you guys.
I started on a cover of deep purple child in time months ago, and failed horrible.
I could not get the notes to fit the grid in the piano roll.
After watching a vid of Musicbear I tried again. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=39uFMAoFOPU
I set the bpm to 58, and that did agree to my feeling how fast it should be, but I got into big problem, with the part ( intro ) played by John Lord. ( rip )
So I doubled the bpm, and guess, what
Then I had the same bpm as musicbear in his vid.
I am willing to bet everything I have, 58 bpm is kinda right, but ... you will run out of space in the piano roll, for the john lord part, and the drums part.
So for other mad enough to try to cover this. 116 bpm is right, and this should give enough space for the drum part of the intro.
The drummer kinda follows the bass part, but also the john lord part.
The more I study this track, the more respect I get for Deep Purple.
When you see musicbear's vid, there is somebody arguing the bpm he is using, for child in time, but to most readers here it wont be a surprise, he is right about the bpm.
