Dynamic beatgrid like DjayPro & AI tools for EngineDj

It would be really cool and useful to have a fluid dynamic beatgrid like DjayPro, instead of manually placing markers, we are in 2025 Engine should integrate some kind of AI tools! :roll_eyes:

What do you think? Do you agree? Have you ever tried DjayPro? How advanced is it?…

DjayPro has the most advanced grid creation method and a similar implementation would be a nice thing to have in every dj software: probably in the future we will see this everywhere

I had raised this also i think it will become the standard going forward i can’t see why engine would not develop their own version of this. I use Dj Pro sometimes and forget when using RB or Engine the beatgrids do not auto adjust🤣

Denon with EngineDj is falling behind in this aspect and they should get a move on!

I’m still waiting for a bug regarding beatgrids that was acknowledged a year ago to get fixed, and the implementation of stems was the most basic possible. Be nice if it ever happens but I would seriously doubt it.

Well it’s not as if every other DJ software/firmware has implemented fluid beatgrids, and Engine is the only one left… :thinking:

IMO there’s still only one vendor that’s done it properly, and that’s Algoriddim. The Rekordbox version is apparently not on the same level, and the other companies haven’t done anything - although Atomix have said (quite a while ago) that they’re working on it.

It’s exactly a year today since VDJ 2025 dropped so this could be the day for it being in the 2026 release :tada:

Lack of realtime stems like DJay has had since 2022 is keeping me from using my Prime Go+ in standalone mode. Beatgrid is better too but not as important to me as stems. I get that you can download tracks and prep them but it doesn’t work with streaming like it does in DJay. Otherwise, I love the Denon and Engine DJ.

I have successfully DJ’d events for 30 years before ever using stems in my set. I have been utilizing stems since Algoriddim dropped the first version, I think 2019. But I DJ on gear without stems all the time, and I feel my sets do not suffer. The beatgrids though, the accuracy of DJay’s grids I feel is more of a game changer. I can hit sync and do a 30BPM transition and it sounds perfect.

@PKtheDJ I’ve just seen the “leaked” VDJ 2026 YouTube video and it looks like fluid beatgrid is not featured in the update at all. Ah well maybe next year…..

I know, right? Some are saying there’s probably more to come, but I’m not so sure.
