Beat Detection Style
Torq attempts to determine the tempo and phase of a song when you load it into a Deck. Coaxing a computer to “hear”
the tempo of a song is partially art and science—this preference is here to assist when the science fails.
In the Beat Detection Style menu, you will find a list of various musical styles/genres. Choosing one of the styles will tell
Torq to alter its analysis algorithm for all future file analysis. Choosing a matching style will greatly improve the accuracy
of Torq’s beat detection.
For example, if you have “House” selected here and attempt to analyze a group of Drum & Bass tracks, the analysis will
return the incorrect tempo (it will be too slow). Set this preference to “Drum & Bass” then re-analyze the affected files.
Those files will now be analyzed with the proper tempo.
Beat Detection Limits
You can further fine-tune the beat-detection by setting your own upper and lower limits for the BPM. Once set, Torq will
ensure that all analyzed BPMs return within the specified tempo range.
✓ Note: Whenever you set your own upper and lower BPM limits, the Beat Detection Style will automatically be changed to
“Custom”.
