Do you beatmatch manually or sync?

[drewjonn]

Yeah....that's why it's a good skill to have.

That being said, there's no reason a beatgrid should fail. I don't think I've ever had it happen.

but doesn't every tune sound different? i sometimes find weird beatgrids and the tempo can't be matched with pitch slider.

If you are playing electronic music with a constant 4/4 beat then the beatgrid works every time. If you are playing old 70's type soul or anything with a live drummer that can't keep a constant beat then they won't work and sync isn't for you.

still, if your beats are off, nudge is to fix the sync like http://youtu.be/s_PJdLNptsA?t=15m10s

if you using vinyl, you can just give the vinyl a little push to skip the motors pickup time which you can`t do with a controllers latency

that is true, i should have probably used a different word other then fix. but forgetting to cue up the next track could be considered one. oh well lol

they are constant 4beats each bar but some of them drop before 1 phrase, and its confusing me where to put the intro. i usually have troubles mixing outros though. i was saying that some particular songs have different tempo than the others.

OK, then this is an issue with your ability to phrase tracks and has nothing to do with your beatgrids. Being able to beatmatch isn't going to help this either.

You just dont have the skill required. Any tune can be matched with the pitch slider if its in range.

Yeah....especially with the way you're talking about intros and outros that makes no sense, I'm sure there's at least a terminology gap here. Sounds like a pretty big knowledge/skill gap as well. Which is cool....we all started knowing basically nothing. But I'm not sure of this discussion is actually helping.

Some of the old school "electronic music" didn't have very good sequencers either. Just sayin...
