Mixing at 125 BPM

Half-time and double-time: Halve 125 and you get 62.5; double it and you get 250. Both are the same pulse counted differently, which is why a track at 62.5 will drop cleanly under one at 125. In the catalog, we hold 6 tracks stored at 63 BPM — too few for a page of their own and 250 BPM sits outside the range we analyse. Work the octave move out.
