Inconsistent BPM analysis across djay platforms, esp with Drum n Bass tracks

Ummm, yes I did, even had labels on the record sleeves with the BPM, remember that?

anyone figure out how to re-analyze or manually fix this issue yet?? despret here!!

agreed. I don’t mind tapping tempo to get a decent lock on it, but my 120’s range are getting synced around a triplet feel…maybe around 150-170, and my dnb songs around 85-90 are getting auto sync’d to 120’s. Please see if there’s a better algorythm for getting the tempo locked down on iOS.

same same SAME.

OK I have all the same questions as above and then some. Are you all going to devote any time to this or if you ARE already, are you going to say something?

I wrote some golden feedback under the name ‘Mo Freeapps’ on your ipad app, Traktor’s ipad app, and now I’m about to charge the flamethrower on the mac app of Djay but I don’t think that you all really care because you sure got my $$ 3 times: Mac Djay, iPad Djay, now ipad Djay2. And I still can’t get the beat to consistantly analyze. Check this: A typical (I am old - RAM, Bad Company, Total Science) DnB track has a minimum (typically) 32 bar intro so any beat analysis should begin at the first drop or maybe…AFTER THE BREAKDOWN? Slick new graphics, I see are showing us the less grooved part of the album so I gotta presume you realize that the middle of the track after the light part is the second drop. Boys and Girls, am I wrong? Can we get a response to any of this thread please?

I’m trying to figure out why DJay will not keep the bpm’s. Everytime I open the app all my songs have to reload and refigure the bpm. I have an alesis io dock which does not support this app anymore since the update. So I bought the numark idj pro. Now it’s back to all songs being treated as if they were never used by this app.

Ok…I tried to reply to D Rey and it obviously didn’t go thru…I’m not worried about the bpm’s. I’ve got ears…!! The problem is (in detail) I have an alesis io dock which doesn’t support idj anymore but I still use the dock for other apps. I bought a numark idj pro and every time I run idjay my songs have to reload as if they were never played. Library shows song title genre but no bpm. So pretty much when I jump to another song on the fly now I have to wait for it to load.!! Missing breaks or chorus of songs where most djs introduce the next track. Now. Do you have an answer for this.?

Idj1. Where is this option.?

pryda - powerdrive is being detected as 150+ bpms and its more like 126

update: Emailed you guys the track. Have a look!

Upon further inspection on how tap actually works, it works great! Thanks for that. I didnt realize it meant “tap on beat” not just “tap to change tempo” :stuck_out_tongue: Nice feature there guys.

Is there a solution/update for this yet?

And why is most my D&B library analyzed at 1/2 BPM?

On iPad?

this guy has a point a Dj shouldn’t need the bpm of a track to have them run smooth together but at the same time it is frustrating when you use the loop tool and it goes off time

So, what is the current status of this imperfect Beat analysis?
Thank you for sharing this with us!

Same to me.
“What a Shame” - RL Grime (75 BPM in Djay on Mac, but 94 BPM in Djay 1.6.4, on Iphone). The correct BPM is 75.
Many song wrong BPM in Djay on Iphone (i use ip4, ios5.1.1).

I’ve been read the solutions to that problem proposed by users here, but some won’t work. For example, manual entry won’t work because 127 bpm (as written on beatport or anywhere) isn’t accurate enough. For sync to work, it must be 127.11849248 bpm.
About the one who said “let’s go back to real DJing”, unfortunately, we’re not using REAL turntables here, so if the track is not perfectly synced, we don’t really have a way to rectify by accelerating of decelerating the disc. So we’re forced to have accurate bpm.
The only solution that could work in my opinion is the AVERAGE tap function. I’ve been really wondering why this function isn’t set this way, because you can’t be very accurate between just two beats. It seems that the system does calculate an average number, but it’s too easily influenced. Like if you miss one beat, it’ll change the number, so the track is desynced very quickly. I think that if we tap the beat of a track during like 32 beats, an algorithm must be able to analyse this correctly !

Ok, but how would you guess such a accurate number ? You can guess a track’s bpm is 126 by tapping, or if you see the number on the website where you downloaded it, but it will never give you more accuracy than that…

Well yeah, in that case it could work well, you’re right !

Solution;
Load song
Press “Tap”
Press “Restore”

Common cut the amatures some slack!
