Some tracks just don't fit a beat grid
Why do some songs just not fit into a beat grid, no matter how much you try and get them to fit? An example is a techno track called This Raw Feeling, by Route 8. I have been trying for ages to get the beat grid to match up over the beats, and it always drifts off. I have shortened and lengthened the intervals, moved the grid around, but had no luck with it. Why is that? Is it just the producer of the song being a bit arsey, in making it impossible to use in Rekordbox, and I dare say Serato and Traktor too? It's not a vinyl rip, it's the proper, digital file. It's a pain in the arse, as it means I can't set any loops or anything on the track as one will be ok, but the next one further along in the track will be out of sync.

<EDIT> My previous post wasn't clear as to how to actually use the beat grid adjustments, so I've posted an article with a video walking users through the process.
@Ryan Reid : Hi there! The track's are analyzed normal or dynamic??? Have you tried to warp your tracks in ableton live???? see this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5q3AABPmNxU . I've done this way for most af my 90's track's and it work ;)
They were analysed in normal mode, as they are techno tracks. I thought dynamic was meant for live tracks, no?
@Ryan Reid : Yes.In that case try to warp the track's with beat grid problems see if that work for you.
Pulse made a movie of it - see above.
Thanks @JP, I've edited your post to link to the article page here on the forum, it helps to know how many users are visiting the article pages vs. the videos directly.
