Hi
I was wondering if anyone is aware of any problems that might result from adding lots of beatgrid anchors to tracks. When preparing old songs with lots of tempo variations, synchronising lights is a nightmare as my lighting software needs an accurate grid, which it can obtain from the VDJ beatgrid. The simplest way to achieve this seems to be by adding a beat anchor at the start of every bar but I don't want to go down this road if it will be problematic...
Has anyone come across any issues doing this or know of any reasons not to?
TIA

Depends on which lighting software you are using and how you control it (Audio OS2L Midi ArtNet ...)
but it's not very accurate either
you may try to recreate a beat detection :
using audio, you may use a LP filter or beat detection in your software (if any)
using OS2L may need a rsi loop with the help of get_spectrum_band
using DMXArtNet you can use get_spectrum_band maybe in combination with get_beat_bar for some channels
but it's not very accurate either

Thanks for your input Nicotux. I'm using Soundswitch & either manually or auto scripting light shows for each song. The issue is that SS uses the VDJ beatgrid when scripting the lights. If the grid isn't accurately aligned with the beat the lights will be out of sync with the music which looks really bad hence the need to create an accurate grid in VDJ using lots of markers. It is possible to manually override the beatgrid within SS but it's a pretty painful exercise & having a good grid initially is the best option.
