    Does anyone know how you beatgrid house/techno?

    I've been trying to beatgrid this song named "Welcome to Ibiza- Al Cappucino ft. Dj Teo," but I fail every time and the beatgrid seems to be way off.

    Is there a difference when beatgridding hip hop and techno music?

    Thanks for reading!

    What do you mean by fail every time?

    Try to use search engine to find a movie about beat gridding.

    Check what BPM is displayed in traktor. Should be about 125 - isch.
    Try to use search engine and if you still can't find the answer try to put more details or just take a picture of the screen and I am sure somebody would guide you.

    When I beatgrid the first section of the song, it seems to be perfect and during the middle and last section of the song, the beatgrid is off the kickdrum.

    I'll look into beatgridding some more thanks!

    sounds like the song has two bpms which is possible.
    I have found a few like that. my suggestion would be to split the song at the point that it changes using a song editor like audacity or even just a simple mp3 splitter used mainly for creating cd tracks, most of these programs are free.
    if it is definately different bpms.
    You could then mix the song back together synced.
    If it is that important to use the whole track. if not cue another track after and use the part you want.
    Also if it is a popular mix.
    search for a remix and buy a different version add own flavor and problem solved.
    I did this with a disco track that was off. just found another remix and used it. same words different flow.
    point is why spend hours trying to fix something especially if it is only used for a couple of small samples?

    Yeah, I figured it had two bpm's after I talked to one of my friends about it lol. You do have a good point there about splitting the song or just cueing up the other part. I didn't really think of that before but thank you so much!
