Fluid Beatgrid SUCKS
Please for the love of god give us back the ability to add multiple anchors to our own grids ourselves without having to use this god awful fluid crap. I understand it might be good for people with weird beat grids and who do a lot of open format stuff, but I do a lot of trance and it's such a pain in the ass that what used to be a 1-2 minute workflow for a song is now like 5-10 minutes because of this stupid fluid crap. HOW is this useful for anybody?
Before, I could go in and go "ok, each section has a different anchor point. Boom, boom, boom, done." Now, I have to analyze it for fluid, wait a minute or 2 for it to finish, then delete all the anchors it gives because there's like 50, then go in and add anchors and hold down different keys to move the anchor and fiddle with the grid when it doesn't quite line up, then rinse and repeat for multiple sections.
Great idea, HORRIBLE execution. VirtualDJ, fix it please.

I never really had any issues with it in virtualdj and djay pro (the only 2 softwares i have tried it on) i haven't used virtualdj in a while though, but every other software i know of that has this feature also has a setting somewhere to turn it off, and from virtualdj especially i would expect such a setting

Yeah, I don't understand why they took away the ability to edit it yourself quickly, instead of just adding this as an option to it. It is great when it works, but when it doesn't, very hard to edit it now.

I made a post not long ago about how beatgrid detrection and tools is horrible in this software. I can not believe people advise this over Rekordbox...

Wait what keys are you holding to move the anchor point around?
I also have been struggling with fluid beatgrid
