Traktor - Beatgridding by Metronome Question
Traktor - Beatgridding by Metronome Question Posted on: 25.07.2012 by Ethan Pugliesi Hi - I recently bought Traktor & and S2. I'm preparing myself for diving into beatgridding my tracks but haven't been able to get an answer to the following question at the NI community
s. Perhaps someone here could be kind enough ...... In the following video the guy has the metronome tick on 118 but his track is 122. He clicks Sync ... isn't he beatgridding a 122 BPM track to a 118 metronome tick ... and if this is the case how on earth can this be correct? I would have thought he should change the tick to 122 before he beatgrids? Or, put another way, when using the metronome tick, how do I know what value to set the master clock (tick) to? | |

| Nannette Doniger 30.07.2012 | i'll give this a try next time i buy some tunes, but i'm sure when i did it before it was slightly off so i settled into the routine above. |
| Leeanna Ayla 28.07.2012 | My first step is just to listen to it with the tick. |
| Latoria Kavulich 28.07.2012 | down with the 1% ! (fixed the title OZA was kinda bugging me ) |
| Roseanna Signorini 27.07.2012 | I also very rarely have to manually beat grid anything. Most of the time if something is wrong, its because the tempo was wrong or the first beat grid marker was wrong so I just delete the first marker and put a new marker on the first beat and everything falls into place. |
| Nannette Doniger 27.07.2012 | really? i nearly always have to adjust mine and its mainly house and techno stuff. I am new to beatgridding nut my routine is to zoom in, have a look at a few grid markers, adjust it to on the beat, check its consistent through the track, then check against the metronome. i have to adjust pretty much every track a little. Could be i'm been too precise happen, i dont know. |

| Nannette Doniger 25.07.2012 | as the post above says, Traktor will analyse when u first load it to a deck (if u havent run analysis already) then it will sync either , in this case, the track to the master clock or the clock, and hence the metronome, to the track u then jus adjust the grid manually. |
| Roseanna Signorini 25.07.2012 | It doesn't really matter because the track is synced to the master clock, its changing the tempo of the track to 118, so whether the track is at 118, 122, 130, 140, it doesn't matter, the beat grid will always be the same. The actual beats in the track don't change, just the tempo. |
