It has 32nd note triplets in 4/4 time. Say the standard BPM is 100 (for simplicity's sake), how would I come to the final tempo? I think it has something to with multiplying by 12 (in order to fit triplets and quarter notes), and then I would have to multiply by 8 to get 32nd notes? A tempo of 9600? That can't be right. -_-

You can always simplify the percussion. I mean, a drum beat you made up yourself shows some personality in a song.

Well, the thing is, the main draw of the song (Forest Temple) is the percussion, and it's prevalent throughout the whole song; I'm afraid simplifying it will make it sound... simple.
I suppose I could do pseudo-triplets, but I'm a bit scared the beat will get ruined...

Yikes.. that could get uncomfortable! I think ( )you just need a 12x multiplier to take care of those, however. When you think about dividing: Quarters will rest on every 3rd measure (1, 4, 7, etc.), 1/8 triplets are then every measure, (1 triplet to a quarter) 1/16 triplets are every 2 beats, (2 triplets to a quarter) and in turn, your 1/32 triplets are every beat. (4 triplets to a quarter)

You shouldn't have to go higher then 6000. I'm sure of that. Because the tempo of the song normally is 180. And if you times that by 32, it makes 5760.
EDIT: Try any of these three tempos:
2160 2880 5760
I'm no expert with tempos though.

If it were me, I'd definately take the 2160 [180x12]. It's the minimum for what you need, but if you go any higher, you'll start getting involved with tempo gaps, which aren't at all good for your faster songs... As far as I know, the first one is at 2308bpm, but I could be wrong. The only other tempo that would work would be 4320, but that's ENTIRELY too high. That gives you a measly four measures per clip. At your 2160, you've at least got 8

I think I'll go with theEvilGrimace's method and use the tempo of 2160. That'll make it a lot less intimidating than 9600. Although, I'll probably need a recorder if I can finish this, my computer can hardly handle tempos over 1500.

I'm willing to record for you.

Oh, shoot. I just realized there are regular 32nd note percussion beats in this song as well. This can't be good.

Hmmm... you could always use the arranger feature in MPC 2.0, though it may lag... And for recording, set "Recorder.exe" priority to "high" in Task Manager (if you have CamStudio) and set Mario Paint Compose.exe priority to "high" as well. That way, the recording won't lag MPC as much, and the resulting video will be of better quality as well. Unfortunately, there may be an audio-video lag with CamStudio...
