Beat grid problems.
I just adquired a pair of Xdj 1000 so I'm new with the Rekordbox. Before doing anything I watched some tutorials after that I imported my music from iTunes to Rekordbox with the Sync and after complete the analysis I realises that many of the beat grids was wrong and had to do them manually... Is this normal or am I doing something wrong?
I do the dynamic analysis btw.
note: sorry for my english but there is not spanish forum right? :(

@Aaron > Congrats on the new XDJs!
The analysis mode should be set to Dynamic only for music with a varying tempo, eg. a live drummer. Use Normal mode for anything with a consistent tempo, typically most modern pop and electronic music, which has a perfect beat throughout the song.
Yes, it's a good idea to manually scan through your songs to see how the beatgrid has been applied - it's usually pretty accurate, but it's worth verifying.
I have the same problem with my new DDJ-RX. I analysed all tracks with dynamic mode. But I'm a wedding Dj. So I play House, pop, rock , rnb.. practically every genre. I understand that normal mode is better for modern electronic music, but I come from Traktor and a DDJ-T2 and I never had this problem! Also the beatgridding isn't really accurate. How can I fix this?
@Gaetan > As noted above, only consistent tempo music should be analysed with NORMAL mode. Rock music, disco, (which typically have a live drummer and a varying tempo) should be analysed in DYNAMIC mode.
If, after analysis, you find the grid is not on-point, you can easily adjust it - just follow the instructions as per my video here.
