beatgridding entire collection
beatgridding entire collection Posted on: 28.07.2012 by Roseanne Torstenson Who here has gone through and set a beatgrid for all their music. If so, have you set cue points through out as well? I am wanting to do my entire music collection of 1600 songs but feel like its going to be hell working through them all. | |

| Nannette Doniger 30.07.2012 | ive got laods to do too but putting it off for now, jus keep doing a few at a time. I've got a far worse problem than that tho, until a few years ago when i got an IDJ2 i just ripped cds into itunes without ever believeing bout it as they were just for my ipod So got a shit load of tracks @ crappy quality and in itunes default format aac rather than mp3. Got a whole load of old and classic tunes that are no good for playing out and gotta find cds and re-import them, the cds I still have that is! Wish I had the knowledge i do now about audio qaulity 8 - 10 years ago! |
| Glennis Bischoff 30.07.2012 | has anyone ever done a midi tap tempo button? that sounds like it would give pretty tight grids on the fly, or an easy solution to someone who doesn't need things perfect, just close opinions? |
| Latoria Kavulich 29.07.2012 | two weeks .. twoooo weeeekkkkss |
| Leeanna Ayla 29.07.2012 | If you do 12 a day you'll be done in two weeks. |
| Freida Leash 29.07.2012 | I'm in the same boat... wish there was a tool to make it work as expected. |
| Nita Eviston 28.07.2012 | I have very basically, however i find it pretty easy to adjust on the fly, however i play mostly electronic stuff, and anytime i play band or older stuff i am a lot looser with my mixing. |
| Roseanne Torstenson 28.07.2012 | Impressive Jester. I am going to break it up and do a handfull daily and should knock them out soon enough. |
| Latoria Kavulich 28.07.2012 | I have over 6000 tunes in my collection, all manually gridded .. its part of the fun mate |
| Glennis Bischoff 28.07.2012 | thanks for the "your own pace method" Djproben, that's an idea i believe ill try. ive never really gridded any tracks, as i only had traktor for weddings and stuff, where its song after song, no mixing :/ now im starting to do my own thing, so this will really help |

Then make another playlist (or add another 20 songs or so to your playlist) and grid some more. Lock each track after you are done prepping it, then you know it's done without loading it to check. That way you can grid at your own pace, whenever you feel like it, and do as little or as many as you want and not waste time. Also don't be afraid to play a non-gridded track. Depending on your style the autogrid might be fine or easily corrected live. Or just beatmatch it like the old days... |
