Delay & reverb times at 174 BPM
At 174 BPM one beat (a quarter note) is 344.83 ms, so an eighth-note delay is 172.41 ms and a sixteenth is 86.21 ms. Dial any of these into your delay or set a tempo-synced reverb's pre-delay to the sixteenth and its tail to fade around a beat or two. The full chart above covers every note value.
The dotted-eighth delay at 174 BPM
The famous dotted-eighth delay — the shimmering, off-grid repeat behind countless guitar and pop productions — is 258.62 ms at 174 BPM (1.5× the 172.41 ms eighth note). A triplet delay is ⅔ of the plain note instead, giving a rolling, galloping echo; both columns are in the chart.
174 BPM in context
One hundred and seventy-four BPM is the de-facto standard tempo of modern drum & bass — almost every DnB and neurofunk track is mixed right here. The breakbeats fly while a half-time bassline anchors the whole groove. Practise against it in the 174 BPM metronome — the only one with named human feels.
