Song analysis with very mixed genres

Hi there,

I have a very mixed song database from german folk music over pop music, rock and hip hop to dance tunes. I dont know how to analyze the songs to get best results. I tried with normal and different ranges and also dynamic but there a lot of mismatches in the beat grid. I dont want to correct them all manually. I need an easy way get my songs working so I can use loops and so an as well. Any suggestions?

Regards, Christian

Don't know how many tracks you have with wrong beatgrids,but i have 80's track,dance tracks,hip hop tracks ecc and some songs of different genres are analyzed with incorrect grids..i think it's almos impossible to have every song with right grids..so you have to adjust manually..

I play a lot of hip hop, funk, soul, jazz, etc. Analysis has gotten better, but it misses the mark 95% of the time. 

Unfortunately, RB doesn't do a good job with analyzing anything else but simple 4/4 dance music. It can't even find the first down beat (bass drum) on a funk song, even if the song begins with it... :D

I've even tried to give a simple feature suggestion to have the ability to turn off beat grids altogether (like in serato, if you have sync disabled) or the ability to tone down the visual appearance (like in Traktor) if you have no need for grid information, like when playing jazz songs. Oddly enough, I got hostile response from the mods saying "you can ignore the grids by not looking at them" lol.

Obviously we know that we can ignore the beet grids That's not the point your side stepping what your customer needs because you're too fucking lazy!
