Finally someone who explains this properly! I think if the beat grid is a real mess its definitely better to just clear it and do what you did. I've had some real nightmares with adjusting, put one bit correct only to pull another bit out and have to go along the whole track, ahhhhhh. Thanks man.
You are 100% correct Steve. If the beat grids is a real mess, it's better to clear it and start afresh. Thanks for your feedback and I'm glad you found my video useful. Cheers, 𝘾𝙡𝙞𝙘𝙠 𝙩𝙤 𝙖𝙘𝙘𝙚𝙨𝙨 𝙖𝙡𝙡 𝙢𝙮 𝘿𝙅 𝙢𝙞𝙭𝙚𝙨 👉www.djblinkblink.com/music-downloads 𝙁𝙤𝙡𝙡𝙤𝙬 𝙢𝙚 𝙤𝙣 𝙄𝙣𝙨𝙩𝙖𝙜𝙧𝙖𝙢 👉 instagram.com/djblinkblink/
@@DjBlinkBlink Thanks for the help dude! Peace. I had asked our support here in New Zealand about some beat grid stuff and they were friggen hopeless!!! No surprise there, think I've nutted it out now though. Thanks again!
You welcome mate. I'm happy you found it useful.....I need to find time to make some more tutorials lolzzzzz. Don't forget to subscribe to my UA-cam channel and also share this video so others can watch it also. If you have any questions about Serato or Dj'ing, feel free to ask in the comments section. One love DJ Blink-Blink
Always great to see DJ’s taking time to help each other out. Best Practice: you will notice at minute 4:16 in vid the BPM is displayed at 96. So simply edit 1 bar of the song correctly which will display correct BPM. Then Type that BPM into BPM field of song info and now the entire track is adjusted correctly without needing to set additional markers.
Thanks for your feedback. Also as per editing the beatgrids, if you set one marker and then just type the BPM as you explained, this won't set the BPM correctly for the whole song. Remember some songs have more than one BPM within the track which means the marker would move as the song plays.
DJ Blink-Blink agreed certain tracks will change or drift bpm at some point but most current music today is quantized to 1 bpm and will stay consistent beginning to end. Editing beat grids is a major key but alot of DJ’s are unaware because they don’t want to enable simple sync. Good Job.
Excellent and concise explanation on how to set beat grids in Serato Dj. The explanation was very easy to follow, nothing was left out. I have Serato Dj Pro and I'm using a Macbook Pro. I would like to know how to tap a bpm manually. I can tap a beat bpm manually in Serato Dj but with the mac and Serato Dj Pro, I'm having some problems. Thanks.
Damn, never realised it was this easy. I notice the off-grid daily, especially when mixing Psytrance (most tracks are off-grid). This helps a lot. Major thanks. Cheers from the Netherlands, Youri - Indominex
Lolzzzzz.... knowledge is power my friend. I am glad it was useful for you too, and hopefully others would be able to make use of this tutorial. Much appreciation from me also all the way from the UK to you in the Netherlands my friend. One love 🙌🏿 DJ Blink-Blink
Thanks for the feedback about the Tutorial Varun. I really appreciate you taking the time to let me know you enjoyed it. I also have some more tutorials within the playlists, so enjoy. Much blessings, DJ Blink-Blink
You are welcome mate. Take a look at this link also to watch more about Serato DJ layout and hidden menus ua-cam.com/video/S48z2wOksxU/v-deo.html One love, DJ Blink-Blink
Thank you bro for your feedback about my tutorial. Yes, the grids on Serato were part of an update that was added later. It does throw people off sometimes but it can be learnt easily as I explained in the tutorial 👍🏾😎 Much blessings, DJ Blink-Blink
@@DjBlinkBlink do you have a way I can get vocals and instrumentals from various artists,maybe you have a Telegram channel for such content,let me know....I have been searching of a proper channel to get these things tho
SPCBRAWLERZ thanks mate 😎. Glad you enjoyed it...don't forget to subscribe to show your support (you would also get notifications when I upload any new tutorial). Cheers DJ Blink-Blink 🙌🏿
Hello Lara, you can either follow my instructions from [1:56] or just wipe the grids and then put down the first grid with "the first down beat". Cheers, DJ Blink-Blink
Hello Mr Kennedy, Personally I check the beatgrid of every song I download. If it is not set correctly, then I edit it. This makes it easy for me when I'm mixing cos the beatgrids are then set as required. Remember though you don't need to edit all the songs you download cos most of the time the beatgrids are set correctly already. Cheers, DJ Blink-Blink
@@DjBlinkBlink I been trying to get bpm down pact counting beats to improve my mixes in serato dj . my question is when I have two tracks loaded and set to 125 bpm when looking at the waveform should the numbers be aligned on deck a and deck b if beat grid is set correctly or how do i tell by looking on lap top at the waveform if both tracks are aligned correctly ? If you could break it down I would appreciate it
@@dywanecrandell2739 To answer your question, the numbers and the grids have to be aligned when you have BEATMATCHED the track. This means when you look at the waveform itself, the bars and the numbers on top of the bars would be in sequence and aligned (note it does not have to be the same number for both waveforms). So if your beatgrids are properly set, you would be able to align this easily. However if your beatgrids are NOT properly set, you would be able to listen by ear and you would make any necessary adjustments. I would make a tutorial about this hopefully soon which should explain this visually. If you do have any more questions, feel free to ask here. Cheers mate, DJ Blink-Blink
@@DjBlinkBlink Thanks alot you cleared it up some for me im going to keep working on it definitely can't wait for that video . one other question I have is - Will the down beat always start on red in wave form or will it start on yellow or any other color for instance on Chris Brown back to sleep sounds like it start in yellow to me . Also How can i tell if the bpm is not correct on a song I.e. I had tone loc - wild thing analyze in serato dj first it was 63bpm then I analyze two more times and it was 126 bpm . only reason made me check was i saw someone else had the same song but there's where set at 126 bpm and when i look it up online it showed the key and that it was 126bpm .
I have made an 8 bar sample on ableton and want to play it on serato but it does nothing when i push to set beatgrid, nothing happens, can someone help?
Do you mean "clear"? As "reset" is not available when setting the grid. When you select "clear" it will clear the last marker you made. Continuous selection or pressing of clear will delete all the grids
@@DjBlinkBlink I maybe saying it wrong what I'm saying is suppose you load a song and the software sarato picks it up as starting in one place but you know that is wrong what I'm asking is to correct that I could select clear and reset it correct
Hello mate, If you don't have a dedicated button for "Echo" on your controller, then you would have to buy the "FX expansion pack" from Serato DJ. Cheers, DJ Blink-Blink 𝙑𝙞𝙨𝙞𝙩 𝙢𝙮 𝙬𝙚𝙗𝙨𝙞𝙩𝙚 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙁𝙍𝙀𝙀 𝘿𝙅 𝙢𝙞𝙭𝙚𝙨: www.djblinkblink.com/music-downloads 𝑴𝒀 𝑰𝑵𝑺𝑻𝑨𝑮𝑹𝑨𝑴 𝑷𝑨𝑮𝑬: instagram.com/djblinkblink/
Yes, it would. However you need to analyze your library. I made a video explaining how you can get this done. Click this link to watch it ua-cam.com/video/g24i0OxY-1A/v-deo.html
Hello mate. Yes, you would have to do them individually. Best way to get this done is to start with the songs you use a lot, then you can progress to other tracks that their grids are not properly set.
Yes, the last option to wipe out the grids and set them manually was faster, however I had to explain all the options you can use to edit the beatgrids to ensure the viewers of my channel know how to edit the beatgrids no matter the problem they have with their grids.
