Using Beatmatching Beatmatching automatically adjusts the tempo and synchronizes the beats between tracks to create professional sounding audio CDs. You can create high-energy transitions between tracks and export your entire track list to an audio CD, or as a single file to your portable device. Note Beatmatching is only available if Audio CD is selected as the project type. It is not recommended for tracks that have drastically different beats per minute. For example, using beatmatching for two tracks that are 110 BPM and 140BPM, respectively, will result in a rough transition. To use Beatmatching for an entire track list: 1 Click the Beatmatch button located on the toolbar. 2 Click OK to continue. Music Disc Creator then scans your track list and analyzes the BPM. When the scan is complete, the BPM for each track appears in the BPM column. 3 Click any speaker icon in the Transition column to hear how the transition between the selected track and the previous track will sound. In some cases, Music Disc Creator might be unable to determine the correct location of the beat within a particular song. In these cases, you can manually adjust the BPM for a track using the BPM Editor.
