Analyzing tracks in traktor without detecting bpm

Hi! I recently invested in a macbook pro and am in the process of moving my music library from my pc to my mac. When I import my library traktor automatically detects the length of the track and my the bpm I set for my tracks. This is fantastic! However when I load the tracks, Traktor analyzes them and changes some of their bpm’s to what it thinks is the correct one. These are all incorrect! So my question is then: How do I let traktor analyze my tracks without messing with the bpm and cue points i’ve already set?
Thanks for the help!

go to “preferences” > “file management” > “BPM Detection” and set the correct BPM range for your tracks

You can right-click tracks in the collection and choose “Enable BPM Lock”

Thank you! I forgot about bpm lock. Worked like a charm.

You can also disable “set beatgrid” when you analyze them - it won’t stop it from giving it a BPM value, but it won’t set a grid or change anything.
