Move beat grid half beat #10811
Comments
I wanted to work on this issue, but I don't understand how to test that the beat is a half bar off |
The request is about adding a ControlObject (for push buttons) to trigger the action manually, not about improving the (external) beat detection algorithms. This requires some discussion how and where to expose this control in the GUI. |
I meant I wanted to test the issue to understand it more efficiently. I know that he has mentioned to add a ControlObject like beatjump. |
Just analyze a track and manually set the detected beat grid 1/2 beat off? |
yeah I understood thank you very much. Where should I open the discussion for where and how to setup the ControlObject? |
This is the place. |
I wanna work on this issue. Please assign this to me and since I'm new to this repo so I request you to please guide me through. |
We do not use the issue assign feature. What do you like to know? |
Slightly different use case: in my usage Mixxx detects beatgrid off by half a beat 20–30% of the time and it would be more precise (and more convenient) if there was a GUI way to move the grid half a beat than trying to align by hand. 90% of the time I use the (manual) adjust beatgrid functionality is for shifting half a beat. |
@neopostmodern Which beat analyzer do you use? Is just a certain genre affected? |
fyi, my music is also affected from this, mostly house music since the offbeat high-pitch percussion throws of the qm analyzer. As such, I'm very much in favor of including a bandaid feature for this. |
This happens to me on half of the songs indeed |
Just throwing in my two cents here, as i don't remember which other sw combo used to cause the beat to be off by half in my mixxx usage/experience, maybe it was MIK, maybe it was RB... but, either way: If anyone does implement this: not sure what a 'Rclick' ControlObject implies, but i would assume a copy of the BeatGrid Adjust Left/Right CO's could be copied, and simply edited so as multiplied by 50, where the trigger is able to determine a left or right click? side-thought: Regards Edit: The OP appears to be using the Rclick of the 'Adjust BeatGrid' button (which a Lclick sets the beatgrid instantly to where it's currently at, Rclick does it while both are playing) In understanding that, My interpretation is that the OP has a track playing, and By EAR, has manually made a second track to play in sync with the first, where he then Rclicks the Adjust BeatGrid button so that it sets the beatgrid to the same point as where the other tracks beatgrid is flowing/scrolling) DJ's Another possible solution to this: (Right Click would typically indicate a Shift+buttonpush for midi map devices, etc.) |

Sometimes, the beat is detected exactly a half bar off. To correct this (while another track is playing), at the moment you have to disable sync lock (if enabled), beatshift a half beat and right click the beatgrid adjust button.
This also won't work when a loop is active as the beatjump control will move the loop boundaries instead, so you have to exit the loop before, making the procedure even more complicated.
There is already an option to move the grid itself, but this is not helpful as it is only intended for small corrections, no big, exact offsets.
It would be very helpful to have an option to offset the grid with a single click/tap (similar to doubling/halving BPM or using beatjump).
