Loading Tracks Into The Players /70 - MIXVIBES CROSS DJ User Manual

Using User Beatgrids
Sometimes tracks do not use a strict 4/4 signature throughout the whole track.
let's assume you have a track with a beat length that cannot divided by 4 without a
remainder, or another track with a tempo change where one part of the track has
a different Bpm than the other. for those tracks you can add a user beatgrid. the
number of additional user beatgrids that you can add is unlimited.
When you add a user grid you actually set the position of a new downbeat (the first
beat of a bar) and this downbeat can be set to any position of the track.
to set a user beatgrid, drag the waveform to the desired position and click the
Add Beatgrid button on the Beatgrid editor toolbar. the new user beatgrid serves
as the reference point of the grid from the position of the marker towards the end
of the track. the waveform before the user beatgrid marker is shown in grey indi-
cating that this segment is not affected by the current downbeat marker. the
waveform behind the user beatgrid marker is shown in yellow/red (depending on
the player), indicating that this segment of the track is affected by the current
downbeat marker.
Setting a new user beatgrid also resets the bar and beat counter value to 1. you
can change the tempo of a new segment with the shrink/expand buttons only. each
user beatgrid can have a different tempo.
If you wish to delete a user beatgrid, drag the waveform and make sure, that
the current playback position is behind the user beatgrid downbeat you wish to
delete. then click the Delete Beatgrid button on the Beatgrid editor toolbar.
Section „a closer look at the Beat matcher" auf Seite 82 in this manual will show
you, how the beatgrid of the track will help you, to either manually or automatically
synchronize the tracks in the two players.
