With most House/Techno/Electro the beat grid will be spot on 95% of the time! This is because its a common feature within these genres to have a straight hit on each beat of the bar, often a kick drum, meaning the peaks in the waveform are very obvious. When you open a track inside Rekordbox it will automatically attempt to set a beat grid by recognising the peaks in the audio.

Here are some top tips from one of our DJ tutor's Noah Don't rely on the Rekordbox auto grid! Quantize does not relate to the audio just the beat grid! If you are using Quantize to keep everything in sync (Cues, Loops etc) but your beat grids are incorrect Quantize wont appear to be doing its job correctly. The setting inside your CDJ's and Rekordbox that works closest to the beat grid is Quantize. Setting your beat grids in Rekordbox is essential! Without your beat grids being set accurately the BPM for your tracks may be being displayed incorrectly making beat matching much harder, you may be bringing in loops that cut off half way through short transients in your waveform such as snares and kick drums sometimes creating a pop or just sounding 'awkward' and setting cue's and hot cues becomes a further laborious task. Setting your beat grid in Rekordbox can be tedious, frustrating and extremely time consuming!
