    Default DO you let TP auto grid your tunes?

    I have yet to really play a set with Traktor Pro, having only used Traktor 3.something to play at a party on NYE, but I am worried that auto grid might let me down on the sync front and that I should be setting beat grids manually.

    Is the auto grid pretty tight in most cases?


    I did a search but all the threads seem to be about earlier incarnations of pro, I am using 1.2.1

    depends on the genre you are spinning.. most EDM should be good.

    I spin mostly electro/progressive and probabaly only about 3% of the time the grid may be off. Once I start to grid more complex beats such as in breaks, it sometimes needs tweaking. Pro is light years ahead of Traktor 3 in the audo grid department tho!

    I play mostly 4x4 genres and I would say is perfect 90% of the time, just let Traktor do it's job then you always can fix the tracks that are wrong, it will save you a lot of time.

    I always have to move the grid a few milliseconds back because where traktor puts the beginning of the beat it eats the peak of the kick drum....

    I turned off autogridding. There weren't many where it was off by a lot, but there were enough to get annoying. At this point it takes me about 20 seconds to grid a track myself, so I just do them when I load them into Traktor
    It's the FAQ. Read it.

    Even though some songs are off, it's cool to have a sort of start made, I find it easier

    The autogrid is fine, except when it's too far to the right, not on the downbeat, not on a beat, or thinks a measure only has three beats.

    I let it autogrid new tracks, then check them.

    I always have the grid marker on a place of significance (usually the first beat), so it doubles as a hotcue.

    So if the grid fine and on the first beat, then I'll leave it.

    If the grid is fine, but the marker is 2 beats of silence or something before the first beat, then I'll cue to the grid marker, beatjump ahead to the first beat, set another grid marker, then delete the first one.

    So yeah, the autogrid saves me some time.
