doing all that yourself is half the fun ;)
it is also half the pain...
No. There are people that charge for a "gridding service" although I aint gonna promote them.Quote:

Jus' sayin'
Beat gridding is a chore. It provides a benefit but realistically if there was a way to NOT have to do it, I wouldn't. To me it is a painful neccessity, sort of like cleaning the dishes after cooking dinner.
I would prefer to spend the time I beat grid tracks to simply playing with them and mixing them, trying out loops, slices and stuff.
thanks everyone. I guess I have to tough it out get to work.
cheers.....
Have you tried BPM tap? What about mapping grid functions to your controller or keyboard?
I'd have to look for it but I think photojojo had a nice X1 mapping dedicated to beatgridding. It should speed things up a tad bit.
Setting the beat grid itself is only half of the job. The other half is setting cue points, loop points etc throughout your tracks - to note important parts, places where the beats drop out, good places to loop. No service is going to know where you want those set - so you are short changing yourself if you dont put in the time on your own.
count me in just the beat grid with no loops
Just let traktor grid the track automatically. If the grids seems off, tap it into place. You'd be wasting your money when traktor already does half the work.
If you can't take the thirty seconds it takes to skip through a track and set a few markers, you probably shouldn't be playing it out. If you're having problems gridding, there's tons of great tutorials; I recommend mine (heh); just search youtube for "traktor beatgrids revisited".
