Question: why is that only 10% of all my song files display the bpm?

Are there any serato-based apps that can make all the bpms show for all my music?


Thanks~!

build overviews (disconnect the hardware) with auto-bpm selected

I have same problem,, I do build overviews w/ auto bpm.. but it stops midway at times.. is it because I have so much music? It takes forever...

Hi OTARES.

When you have the hardware disconnected click on 'build overviews' when the 'set auto-bpm' function on (with a tick inside the box) then this will calculate the bpms very accurately.

If you want to force the rebuilding of any tracks with bpms, just select the folders or files, hold down 'ctrl' and drag the files onto the 'build overviews' button. This will force SL to rebuild your overviews and set the bpms.

If you have bpms from another source, it is recommended you use this function, many of the other sources we have seen have been inaccurate.

Let me know if that helps.
