I’m quite new to using a controller, I have Prime Go and a Prime 4 and I really just want to stick them on an SD Card and not spend all this time beat gridding.
I find when I do this with Hardhouse the engine prime software in the actual unit beat grids 99% of all my tracks perfectly and sync works like a dream. There is one track is doesn’t beat grid properly and that’s because it has some breakbeat in the drop down.
I’ve started getting to Drum & Bass recently but this seems to be a complete nightmare when it come to analysing, the beat grid is often off but also the bpm will either show as 87 or 174 and when this happens the sync either doubles it’s speed of halves it making it impossible to mix.
Is there any way around fixing this easily on the Prime unit itself on the fly or do I have to open it up in the Prime software and fix the beat grids and bmp? If I do have to do it on the software what’s the best way of fixing it so that it all comes out when i load it in he Prime as the same bpm type e.g all around 88 or all around 174 ?
Thanks @mufasa I’ve changed the bpm settings but how to I select all he DnB tracks in the folder and right click? How do you right click as it’s only a touch screen?
Yes, can this only be done in the Engine Prime software? If I then move that same folder afterwards to an SD card will it copy with it all the analysis on the tracks?
So I tried right click but that option isn’t available. It only has the option to select ‘add tracks to collection’
So i clicked the F that just brings up random tracks across all random generes and when I click drum and bass it shows me just two tarcks. Also right clicking makes no difference.
|No. This is the first time of using Engine Prime, up until now all I do is name the music file, I’ve not needed to do any of this with normal house music
The only thing is I need rename the files, firstly because when you buy them from sites like Beatport the file name has a long numbered code at the begging which I remove. I also put it in a format where the track name is first and the artist is last (most of the time it comes round the other way). I replace that code with other useful info such as the time that i need to drop the following track. Up until now I’ve been adding letters at the beginning as that’s been my way to keep them in order when I view the folder in the Prime Go as it shows it in alphabetical order.
So what you are saying is using the method above I can order them how I like in an Engine playlist regardless of the file name and it will show them in this same order when they open in Prime?
