Importing and Mixing your Music
the individual beats, half beats and quarter beats of one bar are symbolized by
shorter vertical lines. the number of shorter vertical lines that are visible depends
on the current zoom factor of the waveform display on the player and the HuD.
the more zoomed in you are, the more shorter lines are visible. the grid that was
analyzed by croSS DJ is called the base grid.
The Beatgrid Toolbar on the Player
the lower right corner of the player a and the lower left corner of player B contains
the button Show/Hide Beatgrid editor. If you click the button to make the beatgrid
editor visible, a toolbar is displayed in the lower area of the waveform. this toolbar
contains all the buttons that you need, to make changes to the beatgrid.
When the Beatgrid toolbar is visible, croSS DJ changes the display of the grid-
lines on the player as well. as you can see in the following image, each beat is now
represented by a vertical gridline with the same height of the waveform. these
longer grid lines make it easier to see, whether the grid fits perfectly to the track
or not.
you can use the following buttons of the toolbar to change the active grid:
The first two buttons of the toolbar can be used to expand or to shrink the
distance between the gridlines. Shrinking the beat intervals increases the Bpm of
the track: the gridlines are now closer to each other and this will lead to an incre-
ase in the tempo. expanding the beat intervals decreases the Bpm of the track: the
gridlines are now further apart from each other and this will lead to a decrease in
the tempo.
