(a) BPM analysis (Beats Per Minute)
Before you start mixing with DJUCED™, analyze the BPM of all tracks, since the BPM rate tells you
which tracks can be mixed together (mixing tracks whose BPM rates are close is better than mixing
tracks with very different BPM rates: for example, mixing tracks within 15% of difference is acceptable;
DJUCED lets you mix tracks with larger BPM differences, but the higher the BPM difference, the more
you change the original track when synchronizing it with the BPM of another track, and so the lower
the audio fidelity).
BPM analysis is CPU-intensive: you should analyze all your tracks before mixing, as analyzing BPM
while mixing slows down the computer and reduces the audio quality.
To analyze the BPM of one or more tracks or a list of tracks:
- Select the tracks to be analyzed using your mouse/pad.
- In Windows: right-click to display the BPM menu.
- On Mac, either right-click, click with 2 fingers, or click+Ctrl to display the BPM menu.
Then click Analyze.
Analyzing BPM before mixing is necessary to read the BPM of the track(s) in the files browser.
(b) File info
Editing the file info lets you manually update the tag of an audio file (the tag is the text which lists the
name of the track, of the artist, of the album...).
