How-to Make Nightcore with Music Speed Changer

The next step is up to you and your music preference. You want to find the perfect rate for your nightcore, which is usually around 160 to 180 beats per minute (BPM), or the original music sped up to a speed of between 110-130% of the original track.
The mathematical DSP BPM detection sometimes comes out to half or double of what the human sense detects it at, so the app lets you adjust for that. (See here for more info on BPM editing)

When you move the rate slider, it adjusts the BPM. You can also click the value or enable +/- buttons to make adjusting the rate easier. (See this article for more detailed info on turning on +/- controls)
