Been trying to get this sorted for a hot minute now. I think my biggest issue was clearing the beatgrid and setting it on the 1 which left the intro as a negative beat grid and crapped all my bars up too. Looks like I will be busy remapping a ton of songs this week while resetting queue points. On a bright now homie I FINALLY GET MY REV 7!!!! only took 4 months of wait. Lookin forward to the next video. Thanks
YOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm glad this helped bro! Placing the "1" on the downbeat, is the absolutely number 1 skill. For beatmatching, beat gridding, everything, If that isn't dropped correctly, EVERYTHING will be off for sure and no way of fixing it AND HELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL YAAAAAAAAAAAAAA BROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooOOOOOOoOO It's the one for sure, A couple annoyances, but honestly the best controller that exists, you're gonna love it!!!
Youre honestly a life saver. Im learning how to DJ right now and i could beat match properly because of the misaligned grids and thought I just didnt have the ears to keep the beat. Thanks again!
No worries bro !!! Watch my new video on 5 tips for DJs hahahaha Back in my day there was no such thing as a beat grid, If you rely on them, You're in for a world of pain 1 issue with he beat grid and your whole career can be over Learn to beat match by ear first, Worry about beat grids later My only advice to you
Thank you, I searched for a solution to this problem You are the only person who explained the solution to the problem step by step I think Serato is the only program that suffers from this problem We hope that this problem will be resolved in the next updates The rest of the programs have this problem, but to a small extent
Ya man ! Honestly the best solution is to learn how to work by ear I know it has more functions than that, But due to this, it is what it is I actually worked with an algorithm creator who wanted to sell to serato to fix the issue, Not sure if it ever went thru, But it worked
Thanks been trying to do beat grid on some of my recorded records which drift a bit. New the first bit but was bit stumped on how to aling the rest had just found out how to do it on recordbox so thought must be able to in Serato I had got round it by using off grid loops , great clear explanation Thanks
You just gotta keep going What kind of music are you gridding ? If it's old stuff that isn't quantized, use the set button on each 1 instead of slipping it
@@DW.Strangeman yes this will definitely happen if the bpm isn't consistent I would ASSUME DnB would always keep a consistent BPM due to it being electronic, But if you're ever beat gridding some rock and roll or live music, The bpm will always jump around and change because it's not conistent Either the track itself was made that way, Or somethign was done wrong But yes, this is the case, The BPM will change and jump around based on how you grid the track!!!
@@TheDJConnect hi, got frustrated and spent the night trying to figure it and kinda worked around it. Obviously, in the early 90s, Manuel editing on something like an Akai or Amiga 2k wasn't always spot on so quantizing would try to perfect it just making it worse! I think Serato is trying to recorrect it and getting confused. The BPM displays jump around but (without sync) it still stays pretty much on beat, just need to do it old school. I don't use sync, got (old) ears for that, just like to keep everything tight with options there when needed.
@@DW.Strangeman yes ! so than honestly this sounds correct Unless you go thru and build this out in a DAW and re-quantize everyhting, This is normal just make sure the beat grids are all correct to ear, and the bpm will definitely change around unless its a perfectly built quantized track, this is normal! and this is also why sync is not a crutch :) should only be used as a tool, def not an end all be all!
That's the best way man I wouldn't even bother Apart from this one video, I've never spent 1 minutes fixing beatgrids They're always fucked up Anything you get from a reputable record pool is normally done tho 100% Just a waste of time lol Especially if you can beat match by ear
Thank you - fingers crossed this explainer will work. I've tried to just figure this out myself over the years and gave up because it seems to fix it in one spot then knock it all out of time in the 2nd half of a track. Because I don't use sync it hasn't bothered me too much - but I've got a lot of broken grids now, and what's the point of the software if these are incorrect, right!. Also they're helpful for phrasing and looping. Plus it's reassuring to have a fallback (Sync included) when punters / friends / venue managers come over to the booth to chat and distract you during a gig.
@@michelmarcotte oh for sure It'll continually trail if it's not quantized It doesn't change different bpms tho ? Just will automatically fix it Watch the bpm after you do it and you'll see it continually changing
I bought some songs and they're old, as I want to be a mobile wedding DJ. Most of them are very lose and go out of time. Is there anything I can do?Thanks
Ya you need to be a part of a good record pool If you want to be a mobile dj, You're gonna need a ton of music And you're not gonna wanna buy every song Shoot me an email andrew@thedjconnect.com I can point you in the right direction
Seriously, it shouldn’t take 10 minutes just to explain how to adjust the grid. It’s frustrating when content drags unnecessarily. Next time, maybe keep it concise and to the point. Or are we getting a 10-minute tutorial on pressing a sync button next? I hate these kind of cheap people...
@@TheDJConnect Yeah... It's no secret that videos longer than 8 - 10 minutes can help maximize ad revenue and algorithm reach on TH-cam. Everyone knows what you're doing here.
@piterisparkeris4770 whats funny is this is one of my original TH-cam videos where I HAD NO CLUE, what I was doing 😂😂 Even still I don't know very much But thanks for your support homie
I thinnnnnk so but maybe not Can you see the grid ? I thought u could do it all but sometimes no You can definitely get serato pro tho, you do the work offline so it doesn't matter
Hey I'll have to look again, I literally NEVER do anything with beatgrids So useless But one is for each point, one slips the entire thing Are you hitting the right button ?
If it won't work you would have to mix it with an effect or slam it in on the beat. Assuming you can't try to mix it in the headphones. The other way is turn off sync and do it visually. Use nudge (+&-) and pitch until the moving wave formations align and don't slip away from each other. I start with the 1st beat from a bar. Then once a new bar starts on the track that is playing i release in time with that. If you set the layout to vertical 2 channels the wafeforms are next to each other and you can visualize to confirm timing that you are listen to in the headphones.
I'm doing a lot of adjusting, back and forth, and noticing I'm stretching too far and too soon on the 1. Should we include more markers to avoid that from happening?
Yes definitely! You can literally turn on quantize And as you go thru the track just hit a marker That will solidify it as well This video might be pretty old but I found some new tricks (I RARELY ever beatgrid anything because it's always done from record pools)
I find 70s disco and early 80s the worst for drifting BPM, becausedrums were largely done by human hands. While tgat can improve the natural-sounding nature of the song, it makes beatmatching a nightmare. I tend to hit extra markers every few bars just to keep everything aligned. What still throws everything off, however, is when part of a song has an irregular timing, such as going 4/4 most of the time and then they include an extra beat or three, derailing the nicely aligned beat grid.
May have sounded like a silly question, but I ask because when i was mucking around with this yesterday, whenever i hit save the grid would jump back to its original, out of sync place. But thanks for the comprehensive answer.....@@TheDJConnect
@@TheDJConnect got it I appreciate it. Wanted to make sure it’s okay if the BPM changes when I edit the grid. The new bpm is a bit off from the original but that should be fine ?
@@zachrussell6175 well is it a legit song ? When was it made ? If it's quantized music it probably shouldn't trail But as long as it beat matches it prob fine And ya you can do with acapellas
what if its like funk music where the bpm change constantly? by fixing the bpm and adjusting grid only wont fix it, is there any more advanced way to manually put the grid?
OK so I can't get this to work, after working my way down the track and stretching/shrinking when I go back to the very beginning it's out again?! So I get the beginning right and and then the end is out. This is with modern edm music that should have regular beats. I'm getting this with a lot of tracks so I must be doing something wrong?
@@TheDJConnectthanks, yes I was marking every beat as I figured that would kind of lock it in but the damn thing keeps changing 😂 I'll spend some more time on it.
There must be another way! Doing this every track would take forever...recently moved to serato from Rekordbox and struggling as Rekordbox is much more on point grid wise
Unfortunately I do believe this is the only option Where do you get your music from ? Record pools normally come down already But it's also best to not have to rely on the grid at all
@@TheDJConnect if I have beat grid checked in sarato and when I load the track up and there is no beat grid I then have to do the beat grid manually correct

@@hottitos4176 love it man!!! you got this Just keep working at it...... (or join the course and learn in a day 😁😁) The program shouldn't matter at all when it comes to beatmatching, same process no matter what program/cdj/turntable you use!
3:04 to actually get to the point...Under the song name, click "Edit Grid", that's it... Drag song to beat start, then click Set easy... not sure why this video is 11min... at least i found the solution here. But the rest was unnecessary.

@@TheDJConnect yep i just saw a comment you told somebody else that record pools already had them pre made… looks like I’ll need to reorganize and download all my songs i already from record pool 🙃
@@loloishere97 hahahahah def
Well hopefully om not lying,
But at least with djcity and HMC they come complete for sure,
Can't speak on any other pools,
But I would assume that's what some of our payments go towards hahahaha,
If not, the DJs will strike 🤣
@@TheDJConnect that’s good to know! I’ve used beatsource and I’m going to start getting my songs from BPM supreme so fingers crossed because I’m having a tough time switching over to serato from virtual DJ 🤦🏽♂️
hahahah hope so!!!
is there a reason that you need the beat grids? @@loloishere97
Get to the point bud.
No
Dislike.
Noone cares good bye 👋
If this is the leading program for a top DJ, why are there so many complexities?
Complexities in what ? A beat grid ?
All programs have this same issue
It's a non issue as well if you use legit music
@@TheDJConnect am just a rookie starting off on serato, but boy oh boy am having a difficulty time trying to beat match on this program, but am not going to give up I must conquer it. Keep up the good job doe.
@@hottitos4176 love it man!!! you got this
Just keep working at it...... (or join the course and learn in a day 😁😁)
The program shouldn't matter at all when it comes to beatmatching, same process no matter what program/cdj/turntable you use!
@@TheDJConnect how much for the course?
3:04 to actually get to the point...Under the song name, click "Edit Grid", that's it... Drag song to beat start, then click Set easy... not sure why this video is 11min... at least i found the solution here. But the rest was unnecessary.
You're gonna go far if the only thing you care about is how to sync and not learning anything else
Good luck
So we have to do this to every track?
If you get music from a reputable source like record pools, it's already done for you
Serato does it during analyze, sometimes it's wrong🤷♂️
Not something I worry about tho
@@TheDJConnect Thank you for this reply. I’m mainly using tidal.
Would be nice if they were already done.
That would be much easier, remembering what you’ve done already when adding new songs on top could get tedious!
@@lukeosborne1983 Ya that's actually really weird, and somethign i don't understand
if you're getting off tidal, no clue why they wouldn't come done?
As much as streaming will be the future, right now just doesn't seem viable.
I've nver used it, but I've heard from countless people having glitches and issues with their crates, moving back and forth
I dont know,
I still build my own library for now
@@TheDJConnect what record pool do you use mate?
@@lukeosborne1983 dj city
Headliner music club
Club killers
BPM supreme
Not something to do on the fly then. Quite a mission for thousands of tracks. jeeeeeeeeeeeeez
Lol ya man
But if you have legit music, they're done for you
Nothing to actually do
Don't download shit music and everything is good 👍
it's so funny that this is about Sync..and your voice is not in sync with the video :)
Oh wow really ?
Didn't even notice and you're the first to say !
But I was pretty new at video editing
Either way, good work bud
wowwwwwwwwwww it is way out of sync
crazy you're the first person to say this LOOOOOOOOOOOOOLLL HAGAGAGGAHAHAHAH
damn yo my bad lol
@@TheDJConnect hahah no worries it kinda was worse at the start then kinda corrects. :) I meant to say as well.. excellent demonstration with the Beat Grid!! :) I just saw your 2nd reply.. certainly wasn't clowning on ya.. just thought it was funny.. in the most 'light' manner. :)
@@TheDJConnect when I look at it.. it looks like you may have been 'live' capturing the the screen..that could explain the smearing effect like dropped video frames . Certainly not trying to bust your balls my friend :)
@@SPINNINGMYWHEELS777 hahahaha it's all good man
I love people busting my balls
Only helps me get better 🔥
But there's been like 1.5k views and noone said anything 🤣🤣🤣
I'm slowllllly starting to learn editing
I didn't wanna do anything cause premiere was going slow as fuck,
But learned I have to manually clean a bunch of temp files and now it's working again
So much to think about lol
serato is the worst DJ program in adjusting beat grid field in the industry
But the best program period
Get to the point my guy for real....
Got u
Why my colored beatgrid from my laptop turns gray when I insert the connector to my pioneer ddj sx
I dunno man
