    Default Traktor BPM Problem!

    Along with DJing , I spend the majority of my time producing music!

    I made a track that begins at 128bpm , and is 128bpm for approximately half the song! But on the second buildup, the BPM slowly increases and the song drops at 140bpm (hardstyle drop), then the outro is back at 128! I can never get the intro of one song to sync with the outro of my song because the grid in traktor is off!

    One time, I load the track into traktor, it reads it as 128bpm , another time, it says the track is 189bpm

    Help?

    Jus manually set it to 128.......erase the beatgrid.......go to the beginning of the song......you should see a little white line on where you need to drop the first beatgrid marker......drop it.....done

    He might need to set a second beatgrid marker once the outro of his song slows back down to 128bpm, so it can sync to the intro of the next song.

    This is very true. I'm so used to when I make a track like this, when I transition back to the original BPM, I set it on beat with the beginning of the track.......completely forgot that doing it in that fashion may not be common
