Based on what?
You need a very complex algorithm to truly detect the __right__ beats.
Violins in staccato vs blues 7/8ths vs pop vs techno vs metal with quadruple kicks?
All electric machines work on smoke... when the smoke escapes... they don't work anymore

I'm pretty sure the BPM window now allows the audio input as a source. Maybe I'm mistaken.

One idea, Ableton Live has a “tempo follow” feature that monitors the incoming audio and adjusts bpm to keep in time. You could create a simple one note MIDI loop and have that MIDI note control a tap button on a speed dial.
