Hotkey to readapt beat detection

[Tuggummi]

Hmm... i think it says it all.

I mean with the beat detection not being so good & sometimes detecting 100 000 something beats, it would be nice to have a keyboard shortcut to readapt the beat detection, instead of going all the way to the editor > settings > beat detection & pressing "readapt". It would just be more convienient with a single/combination button push.

And while were at it... The editor displays the fps , size & the name of the preset in the bottom line, why not also the current bpm? It would help the tuning of presets as well as the readapt hotkey thing.

And may an edit window to give the beat detector a hint what the bpm is like. Besides, did they fixed the beat detector in avs 2.6?

[dirkdeftly]

good idea tug

and something to double/triple/halve the detected bpm would be nice too.

Atero you actually can do use double framerate.
Code:

On Beat:
counter=framecount/2; framecount=0;

Per Frame:
framecount=framecount+1; newbeat=bor(b,equal(counter,framecount));

Per Point:
use newbeat instead of b, or maybe both.

But i agree that direct setting would be nice.

Yeah, I've made a next beat predictor before, so I could make a drum stick hit the drum nearly perfectly on beat with some good techno songs. It was alright, but it was to simple to post here, IMO, and I think I deleted it, but I could easily make it again.

and while the topic about beat detection has started, can AVS when it detects bpm of a song, save the bpm in the directory of the song and when that song is loaded again, load the bpm which is already present in the folder.

[Magic.X]

Even better: the bpm could be written to the mp3 tag into the comment area. But those thinks would cause bullshit on large mix files. Anyway, AVS should readapt the BPM if it tends to get incorrect automatically

[anubis2003]

Yeah, we have had discussion on the beat detection before, and if it saves it to the mp3 file and then improves upon it each time you play the song, that would be the best way to do it.
