4.2.5 EDIT Button
Pressing the EDIT button lets you adjust a track's Beat Grid. The TRAKTOR software can ana-
lyze your music and apply a Beat Grid which allows automatic beat-matching and synchroniza-
tion.
EDIT Button
In most cases (through its Analyze function), TRAKTOR recognizes a track's BPM precisely and
sets the Beat Grid. Some tracks, however, need manual correction (e.g. a track with a complex
rhythm or with uneven timing, coming from a tape machine or warped LP), and the S8 pro-
vides you with the controls to do this. Please read chapter

to Track Decks.
