how do imageline realize this? and if it is possible that easy way:
maybe it is possible to get this function in reaper too?

Lots of programs can detect tempo. I remember having a plugin for Cool Edit back in the day that did it perfectly.

There is also a freeware program called Mixmiester BPM analyzer that works pretty well too.

I think the new tempo related features on the timeline are a great start, and it would be amazing if Reaper had a built in tempo detection algorithm similar to other programs...
