\"reason<\/p>\n

Here’s a really useful formula for calculating where your cue marker is. After writing some music 2 days ago, and leaving the play button on, I wondered just how far to the right my cue marker was… so:<\/p>\n

speed = 145 bpm
\n145 bpm \/ 4 beats\/bar = 36.25 bars\/min
\n1 bar = 58 pixels (at current zoom level)
\n58 px\/bar * 36.25 bars\/min= 2102.5 px\/min
\nscreen resolution = 72 dpi
\n2102.5 px\/min \/ 72 dpi = 29.2 inch\/min
\ninch to cm convertion = 2.54 cm\/inch
\n29.2 inch\/min * 2.54 cm\/inch = 74.17 cm\/min<\/p>\n

time = 2 days = 2880 min<\/p>\n

distance = speed * time = 74.17 * 2880 = 213,609.6 cm = 2.13 km<\/p>\n

My cue point is 2.13 km off to the right… hope no one runs into it.<\/p>\n

So here’s a handy formula for when you need to work this out<\/p>\n

distance in km = bpm \/ (beats\/bar) * (pixels\/bar) \/ dpi * (cm\/inch) * time \/ (cm\/km)<\/p>\n

If someone feels like it, I would like to know the formula for the following situation: If a Vinyl record is infinitely large, and you are playing it backwards from the end of the record on a turntable with a infinitely long telescopic arm, how far from the centre is the needle at time x. That would be a very useful formula too!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
