Question about BPM reader on 2000's

I was DJin last night on the 2000's and i usually use my USB but as i didn't have that with me i used my CD collection.

I was mixing at 130bpm and 95% of my tracks were reading 130bpm.

On the other 5% they were exactly 0.5 out to 100% in sync.

So on deck one it was 130.0 and on deck 2 it was 130.5 or 129.5.

Why does it do that when they were exactly the same speed? Just curios???

Cheers

Since you used cds the CDJS will try to count the BPM when you play the track.

Why the CDJ displays a different value could have a few reasons.

 

  1. The sequencer the track was made it
  2. The structure of the track

 

Most likely it's just the player getting it wrong.. I see it all the time when using cds

Ok cheers, everytime it did this it was exactly half a bpm out not something random.

It doesn't bother me or anything just made me curious what the cdjs were doing :)

Remember, the CDJs do calculate a best estimation of the BPM - it could be .01 of a BPM causing the difference.
