Found out my 'noize' project used the wrong BPM for 3 years

I been making these glitchy ambient tracks under a fake alias since 2019. Kept wondering why every remix I tried to collab on sounded like a train wreck. Last week I pulled up Ableton and realized my default template was set to 88 BPM instead of the usual 120-130. I made like 40 songs at half speed on accident. Has anyone else mixed up a basic setting for that long?

Man that's rough, I feel for you because I once spent a year mixing everything in mono without noticing.

88 BPM glitch ambient actually has its own vibe though, I knew a guy who accidentally made an entire EP at 70 BPM and ended up leaning into it for a whole new sound. Just run your tracks through a tempo analyzer and you might find some cool happy accidents in there.
