Traktor Not Analyzing Bpm
As big proponents of harmonic mixing, the DJ TechTools staff started out with a simple question: which program that analyzes a song’s key gives the most accurate results? To find out, we looked up the keys using sheet music for a selection of 50 pop/rock songs and then analyzed those songs using four key-detecting apps: BeaTunes 2, Mixed In Key 4, MixMeister Fusion and Rapid Evolution 2. Read on to find out the results.
THE KEY MAKERS
Jan 04, 2013 This is a tutorial about using Traktor (only) to get BPM for your tracks. (There's many people that think the only options are to use third party software such as beaTunes, which is also not a bad. Jul 10, 2019 If you’re a DJ who likes to mix in key, then Native Instruments’ latest update to TRAKTOR PRO 3 is for you. Version 3.2, the “harmonic mixing update,” adds a set of features and tools designed to help DJs mix in key, as well as improvements to make your tracks sound better. Currently, DJs can analyze a track in TRAKTOR PRO 3 to set its BPM and musical key. Oct 21, 2011 Itch does not analyze bpm correctly. Traktor or Virtual DJ analyze perfectly well. I hope that helps fix this problem once and for all in the next version.
For our 50 test songs comprising recent hits and vintage classics (in MP3 and AAC formats), I took the keys from the digital sheet music site MusicNotes.com and compared those keys with each software program’s results. The Camelot System wheel was used to determine if an analyzed key was not correct but compatible with the actual key. The Camelot System assigns all keys an alpha-numeric value; and for example, keys compatible with 4A are 3A, 5A and 4B: plus or minus one number or the same number with a different letter. Scroll all the way down for tables with all the specific results.
Correct: 14 (28%)
Compatible: 18 (36%)
Incorrect: 18 (36%)
What else it does: BeaTunes 2 is an excellent complimentary program for iTunes. It helps you clean up your iTune Library by finding and correcting errors in the artist, album, title and other tags; searching for and adding other metadata such as album artwork, organizes songs with a color-coding system; determines BPM automatically or manually; and more. All of its changes are reflected in iTunes as well.
Price: $31.95 US for Mac or Windows
Correct: 15 (30%)
Compatible: 18 (36%)
Incorrect: 17 (34%)
What else it does: Not much besides tempo and key analysis. Its preference options for adding BPM/key to the file name, as well as different ID3 tags, are great.
Price: $58 US for Mac or Windows
Correct: 7 (14%)
Compatible: 14 (28%)
Incorrect: 29 (58%)
What else it does: MixMeister Fusion is a full-feautred, professional-level DJ software for creating and editing DJ mixes or DJing live with a digital audio workstation-style, timeline-based interface. A couple of the many notable features include mixing up to 8 tracks as once and support for VST effects.
Price: $329.95 for Mac or Windows (key detection also available in Mixmeister Studio for $199.95)
Correct: 15 (30%)
Compatible: 14 (28%)
Incorrect: 21 (42%)
What else it does: RE2 is an intelligently designed DJ utility made to use both and preparation for and during your sets. Besides tempo and key detection, it includes tap tempo and a software MIDI keyboard for you to work out BPM and key yourself, normalizing,time/pitch shift processing, live audio input analysis, key lock and more. You can save Mixouts, where you comment on mixes between particular songs. In addition, the MixShare website hosts a large harmonic mixing forum and a database of track information for hundreds of thousands of songs shared by RE2 users.

IMPERFECT HARMONY
It should be said that this test can only provide a look at the accuracy of each of these programs relative to each other, rather than an assessment of the overall accuracy. I was surprised at the number of incorrect readings for each program. I’ve seen some other similar tests with higher percentages for Correct and Compatible readings, so there may some particularly difficult songs in my test batch.
However, we can tell that that Mixed In Key 4 has the better numbers by a razor thin margin. MixMeister only gave out minor key results for some reason, which really hurt its stats.
Because Mixed In Key, BeaTunes and Rapid Evolution were statistically comparable, it comes down to which of those programs’ other features you want, as well as perhaps price.
My personal favorite is Mixed In Key, because it gives your results in the alpha-numeric Camelot System values — which is easier for mixing — processes files quickly and gives you some good options for how you want the key and BPM information to be added to the file name and to the file’s tags. However, it doesn’t do much more than key and BPM analysis, and it costs the most of the top-performing three.
As a free download, Rapid Evolution 2 gives you many interesting features besides key and tempo detection. and it makes up for not giving you the Camelot System numbers (User error: you CAN get the Camelot Sytem numbers in RE2 in the Keycode field.) You can look at only songs that are in a compatible key range, as well as similar in style and tempo.

Traktor Not Analyzing Bpm Lyrics
It looks like it is already analysed….
Traktor and iTunes don’t play ball with each other when it comes to MP3 tags so don’t be surprised if they don’t read each others info (or if they overwrite each other too!)
Oh I see the problem. Having Avicci – Levels in your playlist isn’t supported by any reputable software…
Virtual dj 8 spotify plugin download. Just joking…kind of. Unfortunately as Rob stated above, Traktor and iTunes don’t play too well together but I’m really not sure what the problem is as you could just use the track collection list to find tracks.After analysing the tunes in Traktor did you go back in to iTunes and update the tag information? I’m not home ATM but I’ll double check the info when I get there.
There’s no re-analyse option but you can re-scan your music, this should update the tag information in ITunes.
The same thing happens to me, remember itunes is noT dj software. Ä° do understand you because i find it annoying that Ä° have to import everything into my traktor collection in order to see the bpm. However Ä° havnt tried this yet but i will analyse everything in Mixed in Key then re-import all my files back into itunes. Ä° will also re-import the files into traktor if Ä° have too. Or as previously stated you can re-scan your music in itunes after you have analysed them in traktor.

Yes, if you re-scan your itunes collection it will update the tag information with the BPM and any other information you’ve entered. Just reload the music from your hard drive, anytime you update the tag information out side of itunes, say with Traktor,MixedinKey, Beatunes etc that’s all you need to do.
If your songs have the BMP in your TRACK COLLECTION (in Traktor)
then simply go back in iTunes software and select the songs and press: COMMAND + i (on a Mac).
It will automatically add the BMP that was analyzed in Traktor in iTunes.
