Random Things Happening

1

Happy holidays…A couple of weird things have been happening lately…

  1. I couldn’t log into my original user name to even make this post (LOL).
  2. Randomly, the entire program freezes and I have to force quit and restart to continue working (OSX).
  3. Random songs don’t give a beatgrid after I analyze.
  4. I think I mentioned in my last post, but I’ll mention it again…After analyzing, about half of the songs have the right tempo, but I have to reset beat 1 to be accurate.

These are all fairly recent occurences.

Maybe you are analyzing, with key? That takes a lot of memory and can freeze Lexicon sometimes.

If songs don’t get a grid it could be they have a very subtle beat, working on improving that.

If tempo isn’t accurate, then it’s probably just the analyzer not getting it right

  1. Could be…I think I do analyze with key. I already use MIK, so that I could do without it here. I’ll give that a shot.

  2. Here’s a screenshot of the first few bars. I would think that would be enough for a grid, but I could be wrong.

  1. The tempo is usually right, it’s just beat 1 that’s all over the place.

@miha985 Can you upload that song? I can check why that is. You can upload with this link: http://upload.lexicondj.com

@miha985 That song doesn’t contain any beats. Even if you set a beatgrid, it won’t be useful

What about in my instance? This is a random occurrence so I wouldn’t call it a ‘problem’. But it’s a song with a fairly pronounced beat. Any ideas?

It does work here and gets a beatgrid. Did you try analyzing it with the right click menu?

Maybe wait for the beta version to hit stable, will be a while but it has big improvements everywhere so perhaps that will fix it.

I did. It gave me a bpm of 70, but still didn’t write a beatgrid. shrug

Not sure what it is then, but you can try the beta just to see if that will help: Download | Lexicon - DJ Library Management
You can switch back to normal Lexicon after trying it, it won’t break anything.
