Dynamic / Fluid Beatgrid System

Questions

  • Device: MacBook Pro M1
  • OS: Tahoe 26.2
  • Djay Version: 5.6.2

When using Dynamic BPM I have found, with non-syncopated music, there are errors. This happens fairly often and I’ve been able to find a workaround (as you’ll see in the Example 2 video).

Although, if there is an opportunity to improve how beatgrids are generated, that would be ideal.

In videos 1& 2 you’ll see how Djay calaulates the beatgrids and how they “drift” from the true beats of the music.

In videos 3 & 4 you’ll see how another program with fluid beatgrids keeps the song on-beat, in places where Djay had mistakes.

Example 1 - Djay

Example 2 - Djay w/ workaround

Example 3 - Other DJ Platform

Example 4 - Other DJ Platform

Hi @gizmo, thanks for the clear explanation and comparison videos. This is very helpful. I’ve passed this onto our engineering team for further review. I’ll report back when I have more news.

Hi again @gizmo, can you please share the actual songs from your demos here or send them to me in a DM so our engineering team can review them in more detail? Thanks!
