Beat Griding

for some of the newer reggae and dancehall traktor often get the first beat maker wrong so I usually have to correct it myself, however it is fairly easy with time and practice. As for the old stuff I will use grid makers at my selected mix points in order to keep the beat-grid accurate (Somewhat). I think you know as when is I do that mixing with reggae/dancehall is in most cases impossible, thus I have chosen to starting crafting my own intro edits (where possible) to make the job a little more seamless. below is one way of doing it

You would probably enjoy Tarrus Riley, Lutan Fyah, Chuck Fenda, Anthony B, Niyorah… Upbeat tunes with positive vibes.

23

I’m with you 100%, but a proper grid would be nicer to have correct tempos in your lists, and I figure would make it easier to play around with the remix decks.

Definitely not impossible–just better done manually, like said above. (Maybe you’re implying EDM style beat-matching with sync.) Match the guitar/piano riff, cue up, blend. Insert some samples, pauses, other tricks, for added effect. The guy I-Trees linked to earlier in the thread did a nice job. Check Jah Warrior’s mix tapes, too.

Yeah, last.fm plays you a lot of those guys when you listen to similar artists radio for Fantan Mojah. Actually Richie Spice radio played me Chuck Fenda “Gash Dem” and I went looking for other people on the Confessions riddim, that’s when I found Fantan Mojah… :smiley:
