How do you calculate delay...

[chadsxe]

I know a lot of people use delay in tempo with the songs but I have no clue how to calculate it. For example if I had a song at 160 bpm how would I calculate that.

60000 / bpm = milliseconds

just to clarify...the formulas are for a 1/4 note delay

Using the Google Calculator...
for example 100bpm and 1/4 note:

1/(100 per minute) in ms

his way: http://www.google.de/search?q=1/+(100+per+minute)+in+ms

for 1/8 note it's the half for 1/16 not it's the 1/4 of this time ...

I'm all about AnalogX!!!

Back in the day, when I was a 2nd (and before the net was so prevalent), it was part of my job to provide delay times to the engineer. We had some laminated charts from Lexicon with all of the tempos and different delays printed on them. I was also responsible for calculating offsets for flying parts from one tape machine to the other. I got really good at doing that, and took great pride in the fact that I could fly tracks faster than anybody else at the studio.

Then Pro Tools took over and I forgot all that shit.
