### From Audacity Manual

Beat Finder attempts to place labels at beats which are much louder than the surrounding audio. It's a fairly rough and ready tool, and won't necessarily work well on a typical modern pop music track with compressed dynamic range.

## Threshold Percentage

Sets the beat detection threshold. The default setting is 65%. The setting can be changed by typing directly into the box or by using the slider.

If you don't get enough beats detected, try reducing the "Threshold Percentage" setting.
