Hi I made a backing track file in Ableton and exported at 103 bpm. For some reason GP thinks this file is at 138. When I try to sync the file to the transport and metronome
it starts playing the file at the wrong tempo. IS there a way to manually adjust the bpm tempo of the audio file in SAFP? I see the wrong number but can’t change it.

That value (138) is calculated automatically and cannot be changed.
@lostin70s
Any ideas how to address this issue?
I made some tests and always the correct BPM of 103 was shown in SAFP.
I will
Do more tests. For now I’m using Ableton. Can I share the file that imported incorrectly? To maybe see why this happened?
I noticed that Ableton warp makers also got confused with my file although it is in 4/4. I was able to correct them. I still think it would be handy to be able to tell gig performer the tempo of your sound file in case there is a mistake figuring out the tempo using SAFP
Like a manual override?
That may be a good idea.
yes manual override!
+1 Manual Override – I’m trying to use tracks that do not have a strong pulse for detecting the BPM and it’s frequently getting it wrong… this makes the Sync feature useless.
Is there a reason that GP doesn’t allow us to use the BPM metadata that’s coming from the audio file?
Having said all that, when the BPM is correct, the sync feature is amazing! Thanks for adding it!
FYI: I did just figure out a work around. I prefixed my audio with a measure with a 1/4 note count in (like a cowbell), then GP was able to figure out the correct tempo. Then, in the Streaming Audio Player I created a marker on the downbeat just past the count in and configured it to start there when triggered.
Hi,
Sorry to resurrect this old thread, but I’ve run into the same issue. The track I added is 95 bpm, contains only a synth that plays almost only quarter notes throughout. On its own it is detected as 138 bpm. I tried adding two bars of quarter note kicks to the front, but no succes, that track is detected as 117 bpm.
I’d love to be able to manually correct the detected bpm. Or are there other tricks to this?
I’m on GP Pro 5.1.6, on a M series Mac running macOS 15.5
Same issue here. I got a reply from GP a couple of weeks ago that they have this issue on the to-do-list. Currently I use audio files with Ableton Live only as you have a “Follow” function and can warp your audios to sync it to the given tempo. The tempo is set by the input of the drums. I would love to see this function also in GP with Ableton Live giving the beat per “Link”. I do not understand why the beat detection is that wrong in GP. That’s one of the core function of any app for live performances.
As I understand you want that the audio is timestreched in Gig Performer when the tempo changes?
Yes. Same as in Ableton Live. in AL I have the drums linked via a microphone. AL measures the beats coming in and updates the bpm set in the main view instantly. The warped audio file is then synched to the “live” beat.
