[Help] Beatmeter from timestamp txt doc

I have searched but can't seem to find what I'm looking for.

I'm curious if there is a program out there like the Beatmeter Generator that I can import a beat txt file that has time stamps and create a beatmeter from them?

I can not get the hang of the Beatmeter Gen app. I have been using Audacity with a lot of luck and able to generate labels that can be exported to a txt document with the time stamps of the labels. Just need a program that I can import into. TIA.

Edit: I have used the text files in Scriptplayer for funscript/estim generation and now looking to mess around with beatmeter generation for some PMVs I've been fumbling around with which hopefully will eventually get me into CH creation.

47dahc, I also tried the Beatmeter Generator lately, and I found it difficult to use with music not having a clear beat. What I would suggest is to export your beat track as an .MP3, then feed that into the Beatmeter Generator. It will detect all your beats and generate the proper visual.

I might give that a go and see how it does. What I have been doing in Audacity is importing the mp3 then by adjusting the EQ settings, which takes a bit of trial and error, I can get the beats that I want to follow whether they are bass or symbols depending on the song, and then use the built in beat detector to create the label track. This is the text file I end up with that has all the time stamps. But I'll try what you said and instead of exporting the labels I'll just export the audio with the EQ setting applied and see how well BMG processes it. Thanks for the tip. Will let you know.
