Hello
Is there any setting for the BPM detection range?
I mainly have drum an bass tracks in the range of 172 to 176 BPM and the detection algorithm always detects half the tempo so I manually have to double it for every single track. Other dj tools have a detection limit settings with which you can avoid mistaken half tempos.
Many thanks.

No, there's not such a setting. However you can double the BPM by mass instead of one-by-one.
Just select the tracks you want, open them on TAG Editor, and click the x2 button next to BPM.

I do find it strange that tracks which to our ears are clearly slow get detected as fast, and tracks that are clearly fast get detected as slow.
I find here in the UK with the charts being full of very slow autotuned trap stuff, most of it gets detected as over 130bpm.

I think you can combine this mass editing with a filter folder where songs below say 150BPM are displayed. Might make it easy enough for you.

True.
However technically the most trust-worthy sound for BPM detection is snare, not bass or kick. That's why sometimes on specific genres BPM detection algorithms detect half/double BPM. Now that stems separation is more easy, perhaps the BPM algorithm can be improved more in order to use kick to decide between half/double BPM's when in doubt...
PS: Trap tunes are indeed produced with high BPM values on corresponding DAWs, despite that for the human ear they are "slow" tunes...
On a DAW producers usually prefer to produce a trap song with 150 BPM instead of 75 (better quantize, and tighter effects manipulation)

Indeed some AI that could be taught how different genres sound would help. Even if VDJ just read the genre tag to check if it was analysing drum & bass or (t)rap.
My main wish though is for the BPM analysis to know when the tempo varies, and vary the beat grid accordingly. In 2020 this should be possible :-)
