CDJ / strange BPM problem..
I've been dealing with this issue for quite some time and I have no idea how to solve it. When playing tracks on my CDJ's it often switches to the bpm extremely from like 170 to suddenly 87 for example. sometimes tracks start off with the first number and halfway through they change into the other.
This is extremely annoying cause it leaves me in the blind when it comes to beat matching.
does anyone else have this problem? tried to solve it with Rekordbox but also there the BPM's are way different in numbers
I use a pair of CDJ 350 with DJM 700 mixer
thanks

Try changing the analyze mode from dynamic to normal (you can find it in the settings > anaylze menu) and then rescan all your tracks. Should fix the problem.

i've already tried it, the analyze mode is by default normal. it didn't fix it. thanks for suggestingMusical Madness wrote:Try changing the analyze mode from dynamic to normal (you can find it in the settings > anaylze menu) and then rescan all your tracks. Should fix the problem.
I have allready seen this, it usually divided the BPM exactly by 2 when they were "too high". Don't know how to fix it tho

How to solve it ? learn to beatmatch with your ears instead of your eyes...

i don't want to learn how to beatmatch, certainly not after 8 years of dj'ing. i want my gear to show correct data so i can focus my mixing on different stuff instead of constantly having my hand on the pitch fader because "it might not be accurate enough". sometimes, for a mix transition I don't even have enough time for that and having CDJ's display 2 extremely different BPM's can be frustrating as hell. how extreme? read the first post
I'd like to put my attention on mixing not math when i'm busy, but the firmware update is a good idea! I have never done that so i'll give it a tryDarycka wrote:Indeed, 85 and 170 would in principle be the same bpm. Haven't had this problem with my 350s tho. Tried updating the frimware?

i've updated the firmware, which is a good thing! unfortunately it didn't solve the bpm problem

trying the math way works very good! thanks
but still, it would be easier to have both bpm's showing the same instead of halved

I'm starting to think that the people who created those DJ software weren't aware that some music genre goes beyong 130 bpm.
