Don't Ever Rely on the Beat Grid if Thats What You Use All of the Time DJ

All right, ladies and gentlemen, sort of a beginner stroke intermediate lesson, mainly beginner. We're using some drum and bass and I'm going to name this Don't Trust the Beat Grid. OK, so if we have a look at the beat grid, if we just extend that a little bit so it's a little bit easier to see, we can sort of see from this point that, you know, the red line is practically on the white line and sort of similar to here. It looks okay. So if you have the beat grid set like that, you'd think, oh, you're in time. But watch this. If we bring it out a bit further, we can now see we're not in the beat grid. Also, have a listen. So there is the one in the beat. One, two, four. One, two, three, four. So if I say I didn't...

Understand that I couldn't really work out where the first beat was and I just thought well it's software it's got to be right let's set it to the beat grid there so now that's it on the beat grid one two three you can hear it it's out of sync similarly with the other track okay so again if I bring it to the beat grid there which is about there

It's out of time. All right, so a little bit of advice here, short video, but please do not rely on the beat grid. Now again, if you're going to put your files through rekordbox, these have been, you can set the beat grid in rekordbox so it's bang on the money. But really looking at this, this is another reason why I say time and time again, try to use your ears. Please, for God's sake, don't rely on the information given to you on the screen because it's not always right. Okay? I hope that's a help. Don't forget like, subscribe and all that sort of stuff. But thank you for watching. Practice and enjoy.
