Well, ok then. Let's say your program features three different ranges:
0-79
80-109
110-150
And let's say the track your calculating has an actual BPM of 128.
Had you checked the 0-79 range the program would calculate the track to 64 BPM (it can't show 128, so it shows half that, not because it really knows it's 128 but because it really sees it as 64).
If you on the other hand had chosen 80-109, the algorithm would most likely fail, and you would get some weird number, in mixmeisters BPM Analyzer it show 250.01 or something BPMs when the algorithm fails.
The correct range would obviously be the 110-150 range.
You should set the range appropriate to what kind of music you have. If you only have hiphop in my example, you would set it to 80-109, because that's where hiphop usually lies. For House, you wouldn't even need a range these days it seems, just set all your tracks to 128 and you're done. In all seriousness though, you would set it to 110-150.
On the other hand some people mix both house and hiphop, which is why most programs include multiple cross-over range option, and you would probably use something similar to 80-150.
So, in essense, think about what your lowest and highest BPMs are, and find a range that encapsulate those BPMs. For the most precise calculation you should also set an as narrow range as possible. If you're only mixing House, 110-140 is a far better option than 0-250.
Make sense?
