I can’t use Djay until I can disable Fluid Beatgrid

If it works for you, fine. I get it.

But for me, I play mostly drum & bass, and this thing is a joke.

Here are a few examples where the BPM goes completely bonkers in the intros:

Phace - Vitreous
Optiv & BTK - Telepathy
Alix Perez - Stray (Icicle Remix)

I don’t care about beatgrids, I just want to have reliable BPM detection so my beat-based FX don’t go crazy when I’m intro/outro from a mix.

I’ve been using Djay since v1, love it. But since this feature launched, I can’t trust it anymore. I’ve been patiently waiting for it to mature, but nothing so far.

As a seasoned product manager for apps and platforms, the hubris of launching such a disruptive feature without providing an opt out setting is so amateur it’s flabbergasting.

Unfortunately my yearly subscription is already far ahead and I can’t ask for a refund, but I bought my current hardware based on the fact it was Djay compatible. So I’m stuck.

On the Edit BPM section of each track, you already provide options for Dynamic and Straight. Please allow me to set Straight as the default.

If there’s such option already in the Settings, my apologies but I can’t find it.
