Questions & AnswersHey everybody my name is Matt and I am speaking to you on behalf of Expert Village. As I said before virtual DJ is usually pretty good about sensing the beat of a song but if you have a song that doesn't have a lot of base or any indication really of where the beat might be you may have to go in manually and adjust the BPM. To do this you need to click the BPM button above your mixer. I am just going to bring up this screen. Easiest way to fix the BPM is to click edit BPM and if you know what it is what the beat per minute are just inputted it here and then you can go in adjust the phase which is where the first beat lays. But in a lot of cases you are not going to know exactly what the BPM is so you?re going to want to click edit grid and if you click play it can set your beats by clicking said beat so there I just clicked said beat for anchor one and now I just set the second one on another beat and down here you can manually tap out the beat also by tapping this button along with the song and you can adjust the distance between the anchors by you can either manually input it here or you can click the arrows here and hopefully you'd be able to figure out the beats per minute of your songs.
