BPM keeps changing!
BPM keeps changing! Posted on: 25.03.2013 by Celina Namoki So ive been using traktor and an s4 for a while...well a couple of weeks ago i bought 2 CMP.800's and a mixer with the idea of learning to manually beat match. So ive been playing with an USB stick and cd's only. The problem im having is that when i load a new song the BPM keeps changing for example: 128 to 125 then 130. It gets more stable towards the middle-end of the song. So i never know what the read out is. This happens about 70% of the time. Im palying with MP3'S that are 320KPS. Anyone else having problems like this with CDJ's. Ive played outside of traktor before. Could there be anything wrong with the files im using?? I appreciate any information! | |

| Celina Namoki 28.03.2013 | Thanks for the input guys! on the S4 for some reason its hell of a lot easier to beatwatch. and i dont mean using the sync button. |

| Jetta Drenzek 26.03.2013 | What doesn't make sense is you bought that to learn beat matching when you can learn it on the S4. Jog wheels are jog wheels, controller or CDJ. The only things that are different are Twitch strips, and good ol' grandpa vinyl. |
