Analyze audio BPM off 10 times
« on: November 23, 2006, 05:57:20 am »

Occasionally, analazying audio detects a bpm which is 10 times off. This has happend to me three times, two off them in MC11.1, but on diffrent computers.

I discovered it today also on MC12.

It's not a big issue, since it's just to redo the analyze. But are others experiencing the same?

I don't think it happend in the same "session", but many from the same album was represented... (Latest Red Hot for instance.)

Was this during off hours?

BPM works by sending a little snippet of the song to JimH's office.  He taps his foot as he listens, and then sends the correct BPM back to your computer.

During off hours, a random number generator takes Jim's place.

Hopefully this explains any inaccurate results you may see.

I had a laugh searching the forum for previous post's on that one ;D

My album is now quite the same as your, up to 3 max off. But earlier about half of them, I think, was way off.

Here's a quick screenshot i took: The first three was also 10 times before reanalyze.

That's unusually high, something is amiss.

Not even too much coffee would account for that.
