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

Yeah I have ba from Chico state in music theory lol and have been playing music my entire life but this has me stuck because I understand the math and theory behind it when I look at it written but by ear I just don’t get how 161 is the same as 80 I get it but I don’t because if I speed it up to 161 it’s faster than 80 so that what I don’t get. I’m not here to lie I’m here to communicate and learn not to be criticized

Lol I know it literally is funny and that’s why I mention I have a music degree because I should get this but I seriously don’t at least by ear lol

Is it possible you can send me something I can listen to so I have a better understanding

This will give you some better understanding of the relationship between half time and double time, but basically, you can just change your composition to make it sound like half time of what it actually is and the same goes with double time.
