When a manual beatgrid has been configured, the analyzed grid continues to reflect on the track’s BPM.

In this example, the manually gridded song is ~77 BPM but continues to reflect the wrong, 105 BPM, in the library.

Song attached.

Hi @gizmo, thanks for the song file and screenshot. When creating new topics, please do not forget to answer the questions in our template with **specific details about your setup** not just “iPad” or “Latest Version”. This helps all of our community moderators to provide the most effective support to users with the utmost efficiency.

**Device Model** (ex. 2020 iPad Air 4th Gen):  
**Version of operating system** (ex. iOS 17.3.1):  
**Version of djay** (ex. 5.1.3):  
**Hardware/controllers used** (ex. Reloop Ready):  
**Hardware Firmware Version** (ex. 2.7):

Can you please confirm that you have the song set to **Straight** BPM instead of **Dynamic**?

Apologies @Slak_Jaw !

**Device Model** : m5 Max  
**Version of operating system** : Tahoe 26.6.2  
**Version of djay** : 5.6.8  
**Hardware/controllers used** : AlphaThera GRV-6

I was using the dynamic beatgrid, not static. Is it expected to show the analyzed vs. manual grid still?

Thanks @gizmo. With a dynamic BPM song that has more than one BPM throughout the track, djay will typically report the dominant BPM. Try setting it to Straight BPM.
