Beatgridding rock… !?
Holly hell, I’ve been trying for almost 30 minutes now to get a correct beat to “Don’t stop believin’” by Journey. I don’t think the drummer keeps a solid beat for more than 4 bars!
How do you guys do this? Tons of beatmarkers?? 
set up a gridded loop at the start and also one near the end. thats pretty much ur only option with live drumming mate.
Ableton Live is your solution.
Warp it using an appropriate settings (Complex Pro is a nice start), and re-align the phases yourself in proper timings using its native BPM value. Export as a wav file, import into Traktor.
Problem solved.
i discovered today that the offsprings drummer is/was pretty tight, original prankster only has 1 beat marker, and stays in for the whole track (just about, wanders a fraction but nothing noticable)
It may be that he was playing along with a tick track.
nother thing about the offspring is that they use the same drum pattern in half their songs, so he’s pretty damn good at it.
^^^Lol. good ideas, I’m still learning Ableton, but it is super good at warping. Maybe I’ll look up a tutorial and learn something new 
possibly yeah, but that’s a good thing.
Punkrock like Offspring, Bad Religion, Pennywise, NOFX have really solid drummers who use the same patterns a lot and can hold tempo better than most. Don’t Stop Believing has a steadily increasing tempo, so trying to beatmatch it to anything will be near impossible for more than four bars at a time.
tried gridding a local band yesterday (vanilla pod, check them out) out they were gridding around 200-220 bpm, and as i play house/breaks, it wasn’t happening. dnb on the other would’ve been fine.
When I was a resident at a Top40 bar my goto mix was a looped Planet Rock break and Journey’s DSB… rode that mix for the entire song, manual warping at its best! I may have to check out mmauve’s workflow since I no longer use decks.

Nice mix! And nice paint job on the vci.
paint starting to look a bit battered now
