# Auto vs. Manual BPM

By default, djay’s highly accurate tempo and beat detection automatically determines a song’s BPM and beat-grid for you. In certain cases, depending on the genre of the song, the BPM value can be interpreted as half or double of the actual tempo. In these cases, you can half or double the calculated BPM value, or choose to manually tap the value yourself.
To half/double the Auto-BPM

- Select BPM > Half or BPM > Double from the Table-1 or Table-2 menu

To manually tap the BPM

- Use the keyboard shortcut shown in BPM > BPM Tap in the Table-1 or Table-2 menu to manually tap the BPM for a song.

Note: Manually changed BPM values are automatically saved for the song.
To restore the analyzed BPM value

- Select BPM > Restore Analyzed from the Table-1 or Table-2 menu
