Well, I've spent the last few days preparing some sets, and I got so frustrated with having to realign the beat grids on all my tracks that I just re-analysed all the tracks I wanted to play and had a go a letting Serato DJ just do it's thing and... well, the beat grids do seem to work!
The problem here is that when one track is significantly out, in other words it's just not the start point thats wrong but the BPM across the whole track, I've been adjusting the beat grids manually.
The issue (and I mentioned this in an earlier post) is that the initial offset if wrong. When you try to align the track so that the vertical bar on the grid lines up with the actual beat it it's different to the default grid on all the other tracks. Serato generally positions the beat grid 2 minor clicks to the left of the actual beat.
I've now been leaving the default grids in place and mixing (albeit with the odd minor adjustment which is to be expected) and it works well. So my issue is, for example, where I accidentally delete the grid and I want to set it manually, if I line it up with the beat (the high point in the wave form) then it's out.
So, my solution, as I said before, would be to allow users to set a default offset for the first grid setting when doing the standard analysis.
Incidentally, I'm using a Mac.. is anyone experiencing these issues using Windows?

We may not be able to do much for the general case of a song that has gone totally arrhythmic but we see lots of patterns of tempo-shifts in songs (breakdowns or dubstep-interludes are the most common I can think of).
Aug 08, 2018 How to beat grid Rekordbox? The beatgrid is a visual representation of what Rekordbox thinks a song looks like. You can make changes to the beat grid in order to fix mistakes that Rekordbox made. You can see in these pics that the tempo changes from 128 to 120 after the set (Red) beat grid marker has past the playhead, Before playhead. After playhead. As the track slows down in tempo the beat grid will have to be set at every change. Set the beat grid markers as often as needed until the track stabilizes or ends (Whichever comes first). Sweet child o mine garageband download. So one of the main things with the beat grid there is another very recent post about, marking the downbeats. Personally I'd quite like to see a beats-per-measure option but many other mixing programs assume a four beats, and as loop set/half/doubling, beat jumps etc usually work on this assumption it's not too bad a one to make.

Still at werks, not infront my set now but i try to remember it:P what i do is open the settings then at the edit grid.(first pick the song n let it play )manual tapping then listen n set beat anchor distance.
Traktor Beat Grid
I think if we can accurately detect cases like these we could do something reasonable with the master sync. For example, if we know there is a distinct tempo shift (i.e. before point X it is 100bpm and after it shifts to 110) then we can simply adjust decks that are following that track to match the new BPM.

If there is a breakdown or interlude, if the beat 'goes away' then we could look ahead to when it comes back and make sure that following decks are on-track to be in sync when the beat comes back. Izotope de reverb.
Syncing phase alignment is already done locally -- i.e. we only look at the previous and next beats from both tracks. Syncing the tempo is done globally (looking at the global BPM) but we could switch to syncing that locally as well. For a fixed-tempo-assumption user this will have no effect as the local BPM is the same as the global.
