[QUOTE="U31, post: 825963, member: 8996"] When you rip your tunes digitaly, the dj software creates a visible waveform, which you can learn to read ( Waveriding ) On the waves are "peaks" or "transients" where a certain thing is happening in the music at that time, a kick drum, a snare or whatever, but its how you can tell where the beat starts, like when you run a record backwards and forwards to find the beat. Most DJ software drops a marker at each of these transients and a "Beatgrid" is formed along the length of the wave Now the algorythm aint very bright, especially on BPMs which is what the software uses to work out where these beatmarkers will go, the human ear is connected to the best computer in the world, so nine times out of ten, even though the software generated beatgrid will just about do, you will find yourself wanting to correct it to get it absolutely perfect. Its easy to do and you can quickly get a beatgrid near enough right, mid set in under 60 seconds if you drop a new track, just go back later and tweak and lock it when its perfect. Once its perfect you can then use something that will have vinyl purist whining for ever more :P The Synch button. When used on properly beatgrided tracks, two, three, four, five or up 99 tracks or samples will run perfectly in time from start to finish without drifting. But this is only if using the digital decks, the SL12's will still need a nudge every now and again as the pitch controls are never spot on. But im a lazy git, i dont beatgrid on DVS so i just use a system of hitting synch to get them where the computer thinks is somewhere near, i waveride to see where the beats are on the track and use the headphones to confirm the tunes are in beat, if i can see and hear the tracks run out i'll nudge the deck and tweak the pitch so its not unlike what you'd normally do on vinyl with the added benefit of a visual aid. I'd think strongly about Serato products too, and try before you buy, this is the stuff that only runs with its own hardware and controllers, so swapping and changing if you don't get on with it is a pain in the butt. Traktor, VDJ, Numark DJ, Gemini and a few others are all interchangeable with the controllers and hardware, and i run Traktor Scratch, Virtual DJ and a limited amount of Ableton's massive features list on the same soundcard and MIDI controller [/QUOTE]
