It just occurred to me that beatgridding (while much simpler) is still a form of beatmatching.
Grids don't always conveniently set themselves perfectly and often times when I'm at a gig, I have to manually shift the grid of a song to make the mix sound "tight".
It's the same fundamental as traditional beatmatching in the sense that you have to hear how tight the mix is, but it's (obviously) more convenient because you don't have to do it on the fly, and once you have it synced it stays locked.
Before I get any pompous "I learned on vinyl" type responses, I should distinguish that I learned on vinyl over 14 years ago, but it just occurred to me now that beatgridding is the same fundamental as the traditional beatmatching.
Thoughts?
