Beat Sync slips slightly

QUESTION:

I am using DJPro with no midi, hardware. just messing around in the UI. (The keyboard shortcuts are super nice :slight_smile:

I have now noticed on more than a dozen plus tracks, the sync slips mixing tracks.

I have purchased tunes from beatport or Bandcamp. Mostly electronic music. I find it is particularly noticeable when there is no bass line.

From what i can tell, navigating the UI, I have the tracks set as Direct in the BPM settings. Sync is on. I have tried both 4 and 1 beat. no difference.

Is this a thing? Like it is a tiny fraction off but with a 4 x4 it is noticeable and annoying. Putting this out there as i don’t know what i don’t know and am happy to be told otherwise. Is there a setting I am missing? Or this is how it works?

Not sure that image helps but figured if it is in sync the bars would be tidier.

FWIW may have been a memory thing? Not sure … I have been playing with it all day lol, so kudos on an awesome app. But I restarted it and issue went away.
