hey man no worries bro i see your putting the effort so i'll help. You need to understand there are 2 things BEAT MATCHING and BEAT GRIDING.
1. Beat Matching - match the BPM(beats per minute) of the incoming song to the current playing song.
EXAMPLE: the track that is playing is 128bpm the incoming track is at 132bpm. you lower the 132 to 128 by slowing the song down by 4 bpm to get them to match.
2. Beat Griding - Set your Grid marker in Traktor to the first down Beat and it will grid that track for you to the correct bpm.
the reason you grid is so that if you use the sync button the software has a reference point to line up the beats.
or if you don't use the sync button then you can line up the waves correctly. or even better just use your ears but that defeats the question about the beat grid they wouldn't be needed
