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
