Topic: BPM the low down!

由于该帖子已年深日久,可能包含陈旧过时或描述错误的信息。

Ok so I have used a program called mixmeister to scan my bpm of all my songs. It saves the bpm to the tag. I have set VDJ to read the tag witch in the brouser it reads the bpm from the tag. But when i load the track it then scans the file and comes up with its own bpm ( which is wrong) . So 1, Why are most of the songs I scan at the wrong bpm. 2, How can I stop VDJ from scanning every tract when it loads. 3 other than manualy setting the bpm for 6000 song is there another way?

That's one of the flaws of vdj. There is not way to stop it from scanning the tracks and changing the bpms - the programmers have to implement an option to stop this. The issue has been raised several times already. The fan boys will tell you: change the Bmp engine from Techo/House to Other Music or visa versa or the vdj always gets the bmp right on their computers or vdj has the best bmp engine they have encountered or request that vdj improves it's bpm engine so that it will get all bpm's correct or that it's necessary for loops & cbg accuracy.... and load of other excuses.

That fact is some users already have correct bpms and dont need vdj changing the bpms.

Jeknee40 you are going to have to live with this for a while cuz those of use who complain about this are a small minority so don't except to see a change anytime soon............
 

decent beat mapping should def be a higher priority than things like 'alpha track' or whatever atomix have called it

it is possible to copy the bpm from the id3 to the reference for the song in the xml file but the phase will not be matched (beat grid will be the right speed but not in line)

im a techno / breaks / dnb dj and vdj its quite decent at those but if im cutting in something a little different i have noticed how poor VDJ is. cutting in some classic dub is a favourite of mine and you have to be so careful that you have the bpm set right for the you are doing or your looping and effects are going to sound awful. vdj does not like classics for bpm, but to be fair id rather set a few songs manualy than have it work great for oldies but have to map all my techno myself
 

you can read the bpm tag info but YOU MUST to analize first with VDJ .
 

Perhaps someone could write a script that would insert the bpm value from the id3 tag by folder. This could be done after analyzing all songs. It would sure beat doing it individually.
 

^^ You guys are missing the point of the original poster... We are talking about when vdj changes the bpm to it own calculated value instead of using the value already stored in the tag.
 

I kind of agree.... I mean it does fine for electronica, but any other type of music is a crap shoot at best... I mean the BPM engine will scan the exact same song twice, and give me 60 bpm for one copy, and 129 for another... that's not even an x2 /2 issue..

One would think that for a DJ program, that would be the #1 priority...

I mean there are so many other crappier softwares out there with better BPM engines than ours..

Is this being worked on? I'm tired of everything being detected double time, or half time when it should be the other way around.

I don't like much about PCDJ, but their BPms were usually good and solid. They aren't always accurate, for example: detecting a 133 song as 135, but as long as it's uniform across the board, i could care less..

maybe less cover flow, and more BPM Please?

please?
