It depends where the click is. If its going on every 1/8th note it will just be 113bpm with the new click on every 1/4th note.
If the click is every 3 1/8th beats then it will be 150bpm or 151bpm, depending how you want to round it. I think however, you are making the problem slightly too complicated. The note value should still be the same amount whether it is in 6/8 or 4/4.

is this for a recording? if so what DAW are you using?... if you are using a DAW why not just set the tempo and meter maps to 226bpm and 6/8, respectively?

Perhaps he's trying to get a Meshuggah-like feel and have several parts with different time signatures. I've noticed a few times where the Meshuggah kick is in 4/4 and the guitars are in 7/8. As long as the math works out in the end, it can lend to some interesting rhythmic possibilities.

Do you want it to go to 4/4 with the eight notes staying the same tempo? or are we going to 4/4 with the dotted quarter in 6/8 becoming the quarter in 4/4?

Yeah, could be a polyrhythm issue. When I run into those, I simply turn off the accent and leave the 1/8th note clicking constantly.
Cheers guys
We're demoing stuff for our album and I'm currently programming some drums. We're redoing a song on our myspace called oath of silence with some new changes which we recorded last at 226bpm in 6/8.
I wish we'd done it as triplets over 4/4 though because I'm wanting to import the vocals and some other parts from the recording into this new demo. The sound of a 6/8 click is really annoying me and it's just ever so slightly easier for me programming drums in 4/4
I tried 150/151 but it seems slightly out. Maybe it's 150.5 haha!
I'll just do it at 150 and chop up the vocal track if needs be
Thanks again

Yo Josh, the way I think ive worked it out is this :-
6 lots of 8th notes per bar = 226BPM
therefore
3 lots of 4th notes per bar = 113BPM
to get this in 4/4 we are increasing the number of beats per bar by 1,
therefore we need to find the bpm of 1 beat per bar (divide the bpm by 3) then to get the bpm of 4 beats per bar multiply by 4
which gives us a 4/4 time sig BPM of 150.66666666666666666666666666667
hope this helps.
Btw enjoyed the gig in Merthyr.

You must've not read everything here. I'm using vocals and samples from a previous project that were recorded at 226bpm in 6/8 - It's got to be exact.
Cheers imaginarybooks. That helped a lot! Really appreciate it.
What's with everyone in Merthyr singing random stuff at shows really loud? It was odd but sounded wicked haha

What imaginary books said is the correct answer. However you wont be able to program the click to that finite degree (I dont think so anyway). So your best bet would be 150.7 or if you can 150.67
Haha! Josh, I know of the culprits you speak. Strange? dude just take a look around Merthyr it's kind of the Alabama of South Wales. Lets hope the combination of coal, pot noodles and job seekers will churn out something much more metal than funeral for a friend next time init... haha

You don't understand me I guess. You complained about the 6/8 click. well just program a click yourself. Instead of the click sounding on each 8th note, have it sound on each 3rd 8th note. that way you get the EXACT bpm, but you'll hear it as 4/4 with triplets and only the 4ths sounding.
