Mixing at 106 BPM
Direct mixing: tracks at 106 BPM blend smoothly with anything between 103 and 109 BPM using pitch adjustment.
Half-time and double-time: Halve 106 and you get 53; double it and you get 212. Both are the same pulse counted differently, which is why a track at 53 will drop cleanly under one at 106. In the catalog, 53 BPM sits outside the range we analyse and we hold 8 tracks stored at 212 BPM — too few for a page of their own. Work the octave move out.
