how do you choose the bpm of your tracks ?
i always wonder what is the difference between 142 or 142.5 or 143! I don't feel a real difference, unless it becomes 144 or 45... but +/-1 does it really change anything? is there a rule or a formula for choosing bpms ?

There's no formula. You just pick the tempo you like, unless there are sample loops that require a certain tempo.

i usually try to play some drums (eg: bass drum and a snare) or a bassline/synth line live to get a feel...then i record that to audio and tempo sync to the small audio take...sometimes i get some really wierd tempos...
but if im making a 4 beat track....turn on the metro and let the appigiators sync all the beats...ahhh, machines! |
I usually never go above 135. 140 is too fast for me. It's not even worth dancing to. I'm usually around 120. Tempo changes are a good idea.

I've a fixation with 136, don't ask me why, it's just what i've been using for funky house stuff. :P
|
i like 132 and 134
not too fast and not too slow :) |
140 - 147 is my limit.
:D |

i like fast tempos for trance like 150 and even 153, but i usually go around 140-147

I have a tendency to record at around 126 bpm, which is good for catchy electronic pop in the vein of the Pet Shop Boys. It's been many years since I've recorded anything at above 132 bmp.
