    If the file can't store the beat grid after being locked, doesn't traktor store the beat grid info in another file in this case? I thought that was the case.

    Agreed. I use many wav files in Traktor with stored beatgrids that work perfectly without re-analyzing. Any remixes I do in a DAW I export as a wav, then import that wav into Traktor (auto analyze) for mixing into my set. Then I confirm/set the grid/bpm, add start/cue points, etc. Only need to do it once. Works like a charm.

    Hey OP could it possibly be that you're accessing your iTunes collection through Traktor? If this is the case, it's a known glitch where bpm and grid info won't save even after it's been analyzed. All you have to do is make actual Traktor playlists and then copy your iTunes playlists into the Traktor playlists so they're permanently in the collection.

    EDIT: Yeah I just reread your post and it sounds like this is definitely the problem. Just create actual Traktor playlists and the problem will be solved.

    I have been using iTunes playlists with Traktor for 3 years and never has any problems. I analyze and grid my tracks on first play, lock the grid and it's all good from there.

    That's what I do. I always play from the iTunes node, and Traktor always remembers my beatgrids and cuepoints.

    Once you've played a track in Traktor (from the iTunes, or Explorer nodes), the track is automagically added to teh Traktor Collection - where beatgrid and cue point info is stored...

    I just open the Explorer in Traktor > Desktop > Music (which is the file where I keep my music). What I like about NOT using iTunes is that the import date in my music folder is accurate and I'm a freak about when I got each track in my collection. If I add my collection into iTunes now, every track would have the same import date. But maybe there's a workaround for this where I don't have to create playlists by dates.

    You need to use Traktor's Track Collection node instead of the Explorer or Itunes nodes if you want Traktor's track info to work fully.

    I've never done it, I do all beat matching manually so this has never came up for me either.

    Do you use any Traktor beat-based effects?
