I found a beatgrid tutorial on djtechtools, but its for traktor. Are the itch beatgrids the same concept or would that tutorial not apply here?

There's a Beatgrid entry in the Xone:DX manual. If you didn't get one with the DX, then you can download it from here: www.serato.com

Otherwise there are 2 articles here:
Introduction to Beatgrids: www.serato.com
How to Create and Edit Beatgrids (DX): www.serato.com

If you don't have the DX, but are looking at using another ITCH device, after the above Introduction article, have a look at the ITCH 1.7 beta area for more information on Beatgrids for ITCH.

Cheers.

alright im taking a look at those right now thanks!

Cool - things have changed somewhat between the Xone:DX and ITCH 1.6 version and the new ITCH 1.7 - so until 1.7 is officially released the online articles will be Xone:DX focused (and somewhat wrong in some areas).

im using the vci-300 i downloaded the 1.7 beta the other day and am trying to learn how the beatgrids work. I appreciate the links i was searching for them but couldnt find them.

Cool, hope they'll explain everything. If not, just ask a question here.
:D

I don't see where the button is to load the beat grid?

In the Setup > Playback tab.

Will there ever be a video tutorial for this Itch version 1.7?

Yes, when it is released :D
