DO you let TP auto grid your tunes?
I have yet to really play a set with Traktor Pro, having only used Traktor 3.something to play at a party on NYE, but I am worried that auto grid might let me down on the sync front and that I should be setting beat grids manually.
Is the auto grid pretty tight in most cases?
I did a search but all the threads seem to be about earlier incarnations of pro, I am using 1.2.1
depends on the genre you are spinning.. most EDM should be good.
Some tunes need some tweaking but mostly its dead on
I spin mostly electro/progressive and probabaly only about 3% of the time the grid may be off. Once I start to grid more complex beats such as in breaks, it sometimes needs tweaking. Pro is light years ahead of Traktor 3 in the audo grid department tho!
I play mostly 4x4 genres and I would say is perfect 90% of the time, just let Traktor do it’s job then you always can fix the tracks that are wrong, it will save you a lot of time.
I always have to move the grid a few milliseconds back because where traktor puts the beginning of the beat it eats the peak of the kick drum…
I turned off autogridding. There weren’t many where it was off by a lot, but there were enough to get annoying. At this point it takes me about 20 seconds to grid a track myself, so I just do them when I load them into Traktor
Even though some songs are off, it’s cool to have a sort of start made, I find it easier
The autogrid is fine, except when it’s too far to the right, not on the downbeat, not on a beat, or thinks a measure only has three beats.
I let it autogrid new tracks, then check them.
I always have the grid marker on a place of significance (usually the first beat), so it doubles as a hotcue.
So if the grid fine and on the first beat, then I’ll leave it.
If the grid is fine, but the marker is 2 beats of silence or something before the first beat, then I’ll cue to the grid marker, beatjump ahead to the first beat, set another grid marker, then delete the first one.
So yeah, the autogrid saves me some time.

nah not on first beat, well i guess it depends. If track starts instantly with a beat then i will drop the grid marker on the kick in/mix in of the track as i like to have the first beat or beginning of intros as load markers. Shows we all different init 
Autogrid with fine tuning works the best for me. The autogrid gives you a head start and only takes seconds to correct if its off.

I found this the easiest way to beatgrid EDM and still cue your starting point of music.
This way, if you open an old grided music that you like and the grid dont start at the first beat, you will know that the track has a nice intro that you could use to some mix.
I never relly on my memory, I need to take notes on everything, I lack in musical memory 
I have it autogrid everything and then I fine tune it. I like to have the grid marker either at the part where it hits or at the pre-hit breakdown (so I have an idea of where I want to be done mixing the track in), and I like to have a load marker on the first beat (or later if I know I’ll want to start mixing the track later. If you don’t have a load marker on the first beat, then when you load the track it’ll usually start a bit before the first beat, which is annoying obviously.
Ok, 4 months later, having got myself a permanent set up, I now manually beat grid ALL of my tunes myself, it takes me 30 seconds at most (99pct of the time) and I feel much more confident about my sets.
on a side note, upgrade to 1.2.7. It’s more stable.
That was a while ago, I’m fully up to date now 
Haha, didn’t look at the date on this one!
I pretty much do it this way as well.
