Is S4 software better at BPM detection / auto beatgrid than traktor Pro?
Posted on: 01.12.2010 by Aleta Broten
Hi,

Is the new software with the S4 any better at detecting BPM and auto beatgridding that Traktor Pro / scratch Pro etc?

I find Pro to be pretty bad and nowhere near as good as CDJ1000's at getting BPM right and have a real pain beatgridding stuff.

Am hoping there has been some improvements in this area with S4 version of software :-)

Thanks

Gotcha! Ty!

Ahh, the thing is I play all my tunes from my itunes library. Should I just import it all into Traktor? And if I do that does it make like a double copy on my hard drive?

Thank you for all your help!

I had LE before, and it was evening and day with BPM detection.

Photo, there are a lot of threads on BPM auto detection but I really don't feel like reading through all of them. Is there a way to "fix" my Traktor so that it automatically reads all the BPMS of all my tracks? At the moment it only reads about 15% of the songs BPM.

Tytyty! <3

I'll give the main example that helped me confirm it did a better job. I had one song that Traktor Pro analyzed at 123 BPM. I had to physically tighten the grid to 128 to get it right. Going from 123 to 128 is quite time consuming and it took me a bit to finally nail it. So i took that same song, killed the grid and S4 analyzed that same song at 128 off the bat then it just need the customary little nudge to get the grid lined up just right.

Several threads on this already. I believe S4 is quite a bit better than Tpro.
