tempo detect and the BPM meter give different readings

Tempo Detect and the BPM meter give very different readings

 

in one case Tempo Detect gave me 133 bpm while the BPM meter varied between 115-118

 

any explanation welcomed

 

thanks

Why don't you just try both tempi in Logic, turn on the Click and listen which matches more closely. Note: SMPTE-lock your region first, with the very first transient of the first beat on position 1 1 1 1.

 

SMPTE-locking:

To lock an object to its current SMPTE position

 

1. Select the object.

2. Do one of the following:

* In the Event List, Hyper Editor, and Piano Roll Editor: Choose Functions > Lock SMPTE Position.

* In the Arrange window: Choose Region > Lock SMPTE Position.

* Use the Lock SMPTE Position key command.

 

Listen some more, fine tune until it matches.

I never use BPM metering thingies, so I can't explain the difference you encountered.
