CFX syncs to 1 Beat instead of 4 Beats

  • MacBook Air M3, iPad 11
  • Djay 5.3.2

when having the CROSFADER FX active, when using HOTCUE it should drop by 1 beat when moving the crossfader, but it goes in time… this is uncomfortable since djay doesn’t always interpret the beat rhythm of the songs… is there some setting I’m missing???

It happens since the new update 5.3.2


Hi @LuisCervants, what Beat sync internal are you using in the djay Settings>General>Sync Mode? Try setting it to 1 Beat.

It’s on 1 beat activated… it shows at the end of the video… I think it’s a mistake… have you tried doing it like in the video?

please help!

How do I go back to version 5.3.1, it was working without any problems

Hi @LuisCervants, thanks for the clarification. Sorry I missed that at the end of your video. I was able to replicate this on my setup and have passed this onto our engineering team for further review.

The only way to rollback to a previous version of djay is if you have a full system backup made to your laptop via the iTunes/Music app.

Hi again @LuisCervants, I checked with the dev team and this is actually expected behavior in the latest version of djay. This change was requested users. However, the team is going to review this further and see if there are some options we can offer to satisfy to both use cases. I’ll report back here when I have more news. Thanks!

Thanks for the feedback @Dysfunk_DJ

Do you only mix electronic music? Well, I’m a crossover DJ, so the time signature won’t always be in 1/16… sometimes it will be 4/16… professional DJs will understand.

How very unprofessional of me. FYI I dj at events of all kinds.

Hello again, but I don’t understand the users who were asking for that option… weren’t 1 BEAT and 4 BEAT already in the “BEAT Sync Interval” configuration?

Why the change? I used to mix with Serato and didn’t use the SYNC options because this option bothered me a lot in other software, because I couldn’t enter exactly the “time”, “beat”, “rhythm”, “bar”, “measure”, It’s one thing to see that the BEAT matches on the screen, but another very different and real thing is that, by ear, the BEAT falls somewhere else.

so I switched to Djay, a versatile software… it would be my second year with this magnificent software… I trust their work a lot, but they should give the option to keep both options. Thank you for your time.

Hi again @LuisCervants, I’m not sure of the specific details behind the change, but the team is already looking into making some further adjustments here. I will also pass on your additional comments. Thanks!
