No, there is no grid editing capability on the DDJ-SX.
No, there is currently no way to transfer library information between software programs.

Beat grid adjustments and other issues DDJ SX
I have a DDJ SX and an XDJ RX. I tend to use to sync function when I'm mixing, as it's there, so why the hell not? I can beatmatch before any arseholes come here and tell me to learn how to beatmatch. I've played for years on vinyl and numark cd decks, and have made many flawless mixes on both.
The issue I'm having is that whilst I use the sync function, it is pretty much impossible to get every track lined up perfectly in rekordbox. No matter how spot on you get the grids, you still need to make adjustments to avoid that "TSK-TSK" sound, (which involves the same level of skill as beat matching by ear anyway, as far as I'm concerned).
On the XDJ RX, you can quite easily make slight adjustments to the grid when mixing live. On the DDJ SX, it seems to be way more sensitive. Is it possible to make adjustments like you can on the XDJ RX?
Also, is there any way at all to transfer your rekordbox library to serato, with all the beatgrids lined up and cue points in place? I have the free trial of rekordbox DJ activated just now, but once that runs out, I'll have to activate my copy of serato. I recently moved from PC to Mac, and I had to redo my full library. It took me over a month, working for 6-7 hours a day, every day. There's no way in hell I'm going through that again. If it comes to that, I'll sell the DDJ SX. It seems there are ways to get it from traktor to serato, or serato to rekordbox, but I can't for the life of me find a way to get a library from rekordbox to serato.

Well, the first point you made there isn't true, is it? I'm fairly sure there is a button that says grid adjust, that I have used to adjust the grids when playing. It just wasn't very accurate, making massive changes when I only wanted to adjust it slightly, like on the XDJ RX.

You're right, my mistake. While I read and typed SX, I was thinking of the SR.
The DDJ-SX and XDJ-RX have different hardware methods of adjusting the grid.

Now what are the different hardware methods for the SX??
I just tried every combination whats possible. Nothing works
Please help, already made another thread but seems like noone is caring ^^
Edit:
I found out how it works, hold grid adjust / slide at the controller and then move with jog wheel, sadly no "adjust grid button" only to slide it in, but thats ok i guess.
Thanks Hardware Diagramm of Rekordbox DJ for DDJ-SX!
