**BeatGrids all gone!** hi all, Running Traktor Pro 2, and its recently lost all of the beatgrids on my tunes. They’re still physically there, but every single one of my songs is now ‘off’ slightly. Quite annoying having to manually reset them. ---

yeah that happens. you need to lock the grids before upgrading to avoid that. ---

just a quick question on this as i’m new to traktor myself, if I want to back-up all my traktor info, such as beatgrids and cues etc, am I right in thinking I just copy the traktor folder in ‘documents’. My plan is to back up to my external hard drive but wasn’t too sure which folder I need to copy over? ---
