Please fill in this bug report template:
Lexicon version: 1.8.5
Operating system (remove one): Mac
Bug description:
I just discovered missing BPM information in a large percentage of my library. I’ve tried using analyze, but it doesn’t do anything as far as I can tell. I had just opened the program to import some new music - the new music appears to have analyzed fine, but previously imported music is missing BPMs.
I’ve seen this previously complained about on the boards, but I don’t see a fix anywhere.
Step by step to reproduce:
1 Open Lexicon.
2 scream
Screenshot:
BPM is just a display value when first loaded. It either displays what was imported from your DJ app or what was on the ID3 tag. When you change or re-analyze beatgrid in Lexicon, the BPM will match what your beatgrid has.
Analyze should fix it if it sets a new grid. If you let it overwrite then it should always set a new BPM.
This is what I’m saying. There is no BPM and no beatgrid for these tracks (and it had that information previously - it exists for those files in Rekordbox and Denon libraries that I had previously synced with Lexicon). Analyze doesn’t populate the beatgrid or BPM.
I have a gig next weekend and I am afraid to sync again with any other software because I don’t want it to mess up those libraries as well.
Did you import those tracks through Lexicon from RB or Engine? It should import the BPM info too.
Can you make a video of the full process? From RB to Lexicon, maybe I am missing something
No I imported them through Lexicon. I’ll try to make a video, but it’s basically running analyze and nothing happens
Here’s a video. The first folder was files that I imported directly into Lexicon, and that previously had beatgrids - these have been sent to both Rekordbox and Traktor and have beatgrids and cues that were set in Lexicon and previously exported. But now they don’t have that data and analyze appears to not do anything.
Okay, that does look like something weird is going on.
Can you upload your Lexicon database & logs? From the Help menu at the top.
And can you send me that Wireframe track?
There’s the file. Once you have it i’ll take it down.
I uploaded the database and logs as well. Thanks!
Thanks, I got it. I’ll update you after the weekend
Okay the problem with this track is that the duration is wrong, so it goes over the limit the analyzer accepts. A reload tags fixes it. Not sure why the duration is wrong though, where did the track originally come from? Imported from a DJ app?
I tried importing it from Traktor but duration is correct
It was imported directly into Lexicon. Some of the other tracks were imported from existing collections in traktor, RB, or Engine
You can reload tags on your entire library with everything unchecked, that will still reload file info like size, duration, samplerate so after that I don’t think you should see the problem anymore.
I reloaded tags and then reanalyzed the library. This seems to have resolved the issue, thank you!
