bluesdancing Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 After installing the new version 3.32, I realize that the new edit bpm window has a validator that won't allow me to input a bpm under 70. Why? Many of my songs are below 70 BPM.. Am I missing something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BeerFist Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 I think they want to focus more on dance music in regards to BPM as I don't know any dance tracks that are not generally in this range. What are you using the calculated BPM for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluesdancing Posted September 16, 2014 Author Share Posted September 16, 2014 I need to input the correct BPM using the tap feature, I worked great before... Because I need to know the bpm of my songs since I am a dance instructor. Is that a way around it? Why is there a min max anyways? Kinda stupid no?

bluesdancing Posted September 16, 2014 Author Share Posted September 16, 2014 I mostly play Blues songs which are easily under that 70 min. The calculated BPM is always off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BeerFist Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 So you don't use Zulu for any beat matching? You just use it to store the BPM value and song playing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluesdancing Posted September 16, 2014 Author Share Posted September 16, 2014 Yes, I could'nt find another software that could do these simple tasks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BeerFist Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 Fair enough. It is a bit of a hack but you could directly access the the library file Zulu uses to store the library list. Assuming Windows 7, the file is called library.xml and is located in "C:\Users\{username}\AppData\Roaming\NCH Software\Zulu\Library" where {username} is the name of the account you are using Zulu under. Once the library file is found, open it up and find your desired track. The simplest way would be to search for "<title>Buddy Guy" using the search function based on the track in the image you attached. Near the title there is a set of tags called bpm where you can set the value which is stored by Zulu. Zulu saves the BPM values when it closes so when you make a manual change make sure Zulu is closed when you make the change otherwise your hard work will be overwritten.

Guest BeerFist Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 I suppose the other option would be to multiply the actual BPM by 2 and just do the division as needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
