"Work correctly?" You mean, it's best initial guess doesn't work well?

I think it's worked perfectly like...twice. Neither of those were trance songs.

You have to play it by ear. When it asks you to define the first bar, make sure it's as close as you can get to perfect. Then when you check loop accuracy, go towards the end of the song, and see if the bars match up. If they don't, go back to the first bar definition stage, and try again, because you didn't do it right.

ACID beatmatch is one of the more annoying things on the face of the planet, and it just takes time to get it right.

or, just use recycle, make it into a .rex file and sequence it in reason, i like that much better....

unless its a song, in which case, do what u wanna do.

The best beat detector is your ears.

mixmeister 5 pro allows you to set key frames within your intro/outro sprockets that will ensure that the beats line up.
