in Traktor sometimes I have found tracks that I can't for the life of me get a confident bpm worked out. I've taken to using the method for finding the BPM I think someone on here mentioned where you find a clear beat at the start and put a beat marker on it and then play the track through fiddling with the + and - buttons in Edit BPM to get the beat lines to be on point the whole way through. Some tracks, namely a few Doors (Hyacinth House and Been Down So Long) songs and just now Jack Mayborn - Music People seem to be okay but just drift away from the beat markers and when I fix it at one end of the song its all off kilter back at the start... is it just crappy timing by the musicians? I would have thought I would have noticed if the drummer slowed down or something. |

There's a few Beach Boys songs that drift off too :( |

It's a right cunt. I think it's hard to notice exactly when something slows a bit, or drifts slightly out of time for no apparent reason, but i think that's the reason behind a lot of these troubles. Try mixing dub with anything other than dub, it's a nightmare. |

Fuck. I was hoping there was a clever xltronick way of solving this. I was trying to do a mix that went through Zero 7 and Death In Vegas into some older music like The Beatles and The Doors but it's really not working. |

You could take 1 bar of each and see how long each is. Then you can see the % difference and change accordingly. |

Live music often has a subtly variable tempo, unless it was recorded in the studio with a click track. |

GI Ginger knows the score. If you can be bothered messing about directly with the wavs, then i suppose you could timestretch every 4 bars or so to fit the other track. That usually sorts it out, but it's a bit of a faff if you're not used to it. |

For a more live approach, you could use the tap-function in Traktor to lock on to the new BPM, or just nudge the tempo to accomodate the changes. Generally, mixing tracks without drummachines (or tape-edited drummachine tracks) is a bitch. |

Is Xmd5a a bit of a bitch for anyone else too? Seems to me like it speeds up a fair bit during the big middle part with no drums |

Yes exactly. Dannn_..you can run micro edits on the track to match it to a bpm then mix it back into the set, that would work if you have the patience. |
