![]() Most of the time it will get that right, but sometimes, especially if a track has a weird intro or a drop at the start, it will be off. Whereas Traktor’s grids are simply about beats, and care not for bar structure, the grids in SDJ rely on the first red downbeat marker being set on the first beat of a four-beat bar in order to be correct. You don’t have to actually turn sync on, but that will ensure your grids are displayed, and you can edit incorrect ones, either in prep or on the fly, while playing. And, again, even if you’re not planning to use it, have Simple Sync and Snap To Beatgrid enabled. So whether you intend to use sync or not, I wholeheartedly recommend you check Set Beatgrid when analyzing files in offline mode. While that automatic detection is largely reliable, it’s not 100% accurate, and using beatgrids allows you to correct any mistakes manually. Without beatgrids present, SDJ will default to its own transient detection for autoloops, quantizing, and synced visual effects in Serato Video (and Inklen’s Mi圎mergency plug-in). LOOKING FOR THE PERFECT BEATGRIDīeatgrids aren’t just about sync. But whether you’re new to sync altogether, or coming from a different platform, this is the stuff you need to know. As is often the case in the software world, it wins out in some areas, and loses in others. SDJ’s sync implementation is very different from, say, Traktor’s. Serato have had a sync option in their software ever since Itch launched back in 2008, but that has been kept out of their DVS software, Scratch Live (SL), until now with SL being retired in favor of Serato DJ (SDJ), a platform that combines DVS and controller support in one program, sync has come along with it. In this piece, you’ll learn how to set beatgrids and use Simple and Smart Sync in Serato DJ. Sure, plenty of DJs eschew it, but for those who don’t, it’s important to have the resources and knowledge to use it properly. In fact, while it may be new to some people (Scratch Live users), the technology has been around for years. ![]() Some DJs would prefer to not hear this, but sync exists.
