Rekordbox analyses a file and termines what is the first beat of a bar, what is the BPM.
Sometimes it’s wrong, you need to adjust that by adjusting the beatgrid

Rekordbox reacts to certain frequencies to determine the beatcound. probably a lot of hip hop songs don't follow the standard frequency spectrum to determine the grid.

Have you used Dynamic mode for analysing tunes recorded from vinyl where the bpm won't be 100% perfect?
Recordbox offers camelot notation as well. Simply change it in preferences (default is classic notation)
it's a shame that we can't move the first bar of the sound to a further place. someone know how to do it ? I really prefer the interface of Serato for organise my library.
I appreciate this video so thanks. it took 6 mins to explain how to set the beat grid surely this video could have been shorter.
I'm confused what the difference is between expand/ shrink beat intervals compared to shift the whole beat grid left/ right and when you would want to use one or the other?
Thanks mate i was getting pissed :)

How can you remove key information if you have already analyzed and placed cues etc in your track if you then want to use mixed in key? So for instance I analyzed 60 some odd tracks with key checked, placed all of my memory and hot cues and then I want to now add mixed in key.
how can someone dislike this ? cheers man

I can't tell you how much your videos have helped me these last days. I was used mixing with Numark/serato so it's quite daunting to let go of old habits learning to work with Pioneer/rekordbox. One question though. I have been buying my tracks with I-tunes(yep, yikes) since i sarted DJ-ing a couple of years ago. Could it be that these MP3's are often analyzed by rekorbox with beat grids that are completely of the mark? and where should i buy my tracks from to avoid all this? Thank you so much for your channel. Jeroen.
@DexxterClarkMusic
2 жыл бұрын
Hi Jeroen, I don't think that has anything to do with where you buy your music. It is Rekordbox that is THAT bad at detecting beatgrids.
Mine move gradually into a song
I'm facing situations in which I adjust the grid to the first beat of the track, but at the drop the grid does not stick to the beat, although the bpm is correct. Any idea of what is happening? I know that producers usally dont stack the kick with other percussion element, even if both are meant to sound together (just a slight difference between the kick and the other percussion, pretty much unnoticeable when the track is being played alone). So usually the drop's transient for each track differs, and by using the SYNC button the tracks do not sound syncronized. I have ajusted the beatgrid of my tracks more than once: taking the transient of the drop beat as a reference, or using the peak of the drop's kick. Anyway, the problem insists: or the beatgrid is adjusted to the drop's kick, and the it's off the intro's kick, or the beatgrid is adjusted to the intro's kick and get's off in the drop's kick. Of course, that issue is perceived when mixing and trying to beatmatch. (I know that this is a great opportunity of refining the by ear beatmatching, and this issue can make this debate arise). Any clue on what it's happening? Anyone would like to share how they approach this? Thanks!

rekordbox suck in that regard when the beat is not consistent throughout the song. You can set BPM detect to dynamic instead of manual, otherwise you have to adjust the grid by hand (that's a lot of work)
how do I change the overall bpm of the song, I may have missed it. I have some garage with 2 step beats and the temp is wrong

Hi Dexxter, have you got a Serato version of this? I've tried and made a disaster of it; the bpm now changes a gazillion times in the track after I try to set my own beatgrids and can't mix a thing now lololol! Will have to go back to Serato default analyse which was slightly off.

het enige probleem wat ik heb met bepaalde tracks, is dat de bpm constant hetzelfde is door de hele track heen, de eerste beat marker (de rode) bij de eerste beat in de track staat, maar uiteindelijk niet meer bij een drop. Komt dit door de breaks in de track (dat de grid niet synchroon staat) ?

@@DexxterClarkMusic wat ik bedoel is, met extended of original mixes, heb je (vaak) een intro om mee in te mixxen, de allereerste kick van zo'n intro moet een rode beat marker krijgen omdat het de eerste kick in een track is, dat lukt zonder problemen. Het probleem wat ik heb met bepaalde tracks, is dat de rode beat marker niet op de drop staat, maar een witte beat marker. en ik kan het niet voor elkaar krijgen om een rode beat marker op zowel de eerste kick van een intro te plaatsen, als op een drop te plaatsen. (terwijl de track constant dezelfde bpm heeft). Ik heb ook geprobeerd de optie om geen veranderingen toe te passen in eerdere delen in tracks, dit echter werkt niet, want het moment dat je de rode beat marker wilt instellen op de drop wordt het door de hele track heen gewijzigt. Mijn vraag is dus hoe kan ik het voor elkaar krijgen om op beide plekken in een track (op de eerste intro kick en de drop) een rode beat marker te krijgen? (terwijl de bpm constant is) Ik hoop dat dit wat duidelijker is :) kan het denk ik niet anders omschrijven dan dit.
Its not sometimes most of the time it shows wrong BPM
