Tempo to Time Signature Mapper

The Tempo to Time Signature Mapper helps you choose a meter that fits a tempo. Enter the BPM and the feel you want, straight, swing or odd, and it ranks eleven time signatures from 4/4 and 3/4 to 6/8, 12/8, 5/4 and 7/8, explains how each one is counted, which genres use it and the tempo range it suits. Pick one and the built-in metronome plays it at your tempo with the accents in the right places.

Compound meters are counted in dotted-quarter beats, so what you hear matches how a band would count it.
