Rekordbox4./CDJ NXS2 BPM doing my head in

@Brandon > Are you selecting the proper BPM range before analyzing?

Hi Mark,

I had recently an interesting discussion with Roel, see the request #4614, and discovered that the bpm range selection does not force rb to use the range specified by the user. Basically rb takes the bpm range as a suggestion buf if it thinks that the bpm is outside the range specified by the user, it will ignore the user setting.

As I described in #4614, I have an old disco track at 85 bpm but rb has unilaterally decided that the track is at 170 bpm no matter which BPM range I select :D

I don't consider it a bug or a wrong behavior, it might be okay for some users and might be annoying for others, however it should be explained in the user manual.

Cheers,

J

Hi Brandon,

in my case rb goes the other way, 170 instead of 85, but after locking my track the bpm does not change again. You might want to file a support request because this might be a bug: after locking the track beatgrid and bpm should never ever change. By the way I'm on version 4.0.5 on OS X 10.10.

Kind regards,

J

Thanks for the response 

so half my music is house and the other is drum & bass 

do I switch between ranges when analyzing  

Thanks J

will look into it 

@Julia > Thanks for sharing those details on the BPM range and for assisting your fellow forum-user.  It's always nice to people helping each other out :)  However; I must ask that, in the future, you refrain from recommending other users file support requests before we exhaust all troubleshooting options.  This can put an unnecessary burden on the support team.  If the forums users and moderators are unable to assist in solving an issue, a support ticket will be created.  We appreciate your contributions.  Thank you for understanding :)

@Brandon > Yes.  I recommend analyzing all of your house tracks separately from your D&B, selecting the appropriate BPM range for each.  But BEFORE doing this please take the following steps:

1. Restart your computer
2. Analyze one or two of the tracks that have been giving you trouble
3. Make any necessary changes to the grid/BPM
4. Turn ON the Analysis Lock for those tracks
5. Close rekordbox
6. Open rekordbox
7. Load that track to a deck

Thank you Mark 

will give it a go
