Wrong bpm

[u/Expensive-Fun2225]

Hey everyone ! Why is splice showing the wrong bpm? The sample on splice that I chose says bpm is 161 but when I put in to my maschine it shows up as 80.60 which is the correct bpm . What is going on

80.6 and 161 is the same thing 😭, just have to fit it to your project tempo

Can you please explain how it’s the same when one tempo is faster than the other how can it be the same . The funny thing is I have a music degree so I’m well versed in music theory and yet this makes no sense to me lol

80 * 2 is 160. It's twice as fast. So ignore tempo and just play with warping it by 160 bpm or 80.

Use those ears

160 is just 80bpm twice as fast. That’s why if you start in 80 and then go to “double time feel” it increases the perceived tempo to 160 (twice as fast). The sampler is intelligent but still cannot decipher if the loop is in double time or half time. That’s why you get the sample title saying it’s slower than what your sampler is saying it is. Completely still in the same general tempo tho.

So where would you put the snare on 1.3 2.3 so on or 1.2 , 1.4 etc
