Q. How do I pre-analyze my music collection?
Pre-analysing all your songs at home prior to a gig is strongly recommended. This will insure that all songs have the correct gain, BPM, key, song length and that the ID3 tags have been read. In particular, this will avoid the sudden change in volume that can occur when loading an unanalyzed song and starting to play it before loading is complete. This is due to the fact that the correct gain setting is not known until the song has been loaded in full.
It will also allow you to see the BPM, song length and key of all your songs in the browser (If you have these columns enabled). This information is not known to VirtualDJ until the song has been scanned.
If your Music library lies in a specific Drive or folder simply right-click on that folder and choose Batch then Analyze for BPM etc. VirtualDJ will then analyze all the tracks contained in that folder including all it's sub-folders. This process can also be applied to individual tracks in the File List or groups of tracks by selecting them all (CTRL+A on PC or CMD+A on Mac).

If the files have already been Analyzed but some songs are missing BPM's or they have the wrong BPM's we will need to force build the overviews again. This time there are a few other things to do before we start Analyzing the files.
To do this, first disconnect the Scratch Live hardware. You should now see the 'Analyze Files' tab above the crate section along the left hand side of the screen.
Next to the Analyze files tab, you see 'Set Auto BPM', put a check mark in that.
To the right of it, there is 'Range'. You need to select a range that the majority of your music will fall in between. You don't want to leave it blank or on none, that will not BPM all of your music.
Once you have those two things set, click the word ALL in the crate section. This should display all of the music in your library. Click a song so it is highlighted. Press ctrl + A and that will highlight everything in the library.
Now drag and drop that onto the Analyze files tab. It will rebuild all of your overviews and also BPM the music. This process may take some time depending on the size of the library and the specs on the computer.
Once it has finished Analyzing, make sure you look through the library and remove any files that were marked as bad / corrupt. They will have an icon next to them that looks like a cd with a crack or lightning bolt through it.
