If I export at 120 BPM, Traktor reads it as 60 BPM. Why?

The snare goes on the 2 and on the 4 in a bar. Given that, Dubstep is not 130 – 140+ BPM. :x

It's not really an argument. That's the average range ;)

That is, unless you are trying to argue 70bpm vs 140bpm, in which case it's an argument of perception.

When I try adding 1/4 to 1/4 on my calculator it always shows up as 1/2!

WHAT GIVES

I need it to be 2/4.
(My calculator is dumb)

And that’s my point, Traktor is perceiving half/double the actual tempo. :|


I mean honestly, if you were playing with a live drummer and wanted him to play a 120 BPM beat you wouldn’t ask him to play a 240 BPM beat because that’s how you roll in your DAW. FFS. :x

If it's detecting it at half tempo and you don't want to press that button someone mentioned, you should have made the track more in-your-face Trance! :lol:
