Exiting loop randomly

  • Device model MACBOOK AIR
  • Version of operating system SONOMA 14.5
  • Version of djay 5.2.5
  • Hardware/controllers used PIONEER DDJ-FLX4

Summary of the issue:

If I set a loop on the inactive deck, sometimes (3 or 4 times a session) by the time I come to mix it in the track has carried on playing past the loop, even though the loop is still set if I look back on the WAV.

Obviously this is fairly annoying as exiting a loop at the right time is an important part of mixing tracks.

Hi @John_Copley1,

Thanks for sharing this issue with us!

We haven’t been able to reproduce this issue and would appreciate a video recording of the issue in action if possible.

You can send one to us by uploading the video to a cloud storage service like Dropbox or Google Drive and then sending us that private link.

Talk soon!

Here is a video! So the loop on the left does it after I speed the track on the right up. I’ve added a link to the video, I’m not sure how to upload it here straight off my line.

I’m also having this issue.

Hello, have we got anywhere with this? Still happening all the time for me and others.

Same here. Still randomly exiting loops every once in a while.

That sounds pretty annoying.

Just to check… how is your setting “Deactivate looping when jumping outside the loop”?

This is under Advanced > Cue Points & Loops

My setting is on. I was using it as a possible workaround another issue, but not sure if it’s actually helping.

Try to de-activated it and see if your problem still exists.

I checked, it does not fix the issue after all.

Hi again John Copley (@John_Copley1),

Thanks for sharing your experience! You mentioned that the track is a WAV file—do you think this issue might be related to the file format? That detail caught my attention, which is why I’m curious if it could be a factor in how loops are handled.

Looking forward to your thoughts!

Could you also share (or send) this video again?

Happened twice to me yesterday during a gig. When you are ready to come in with a new track which is beatmatched and ready to go, playing on a starting loop, you suddenly realize it is already already going forward on it’s own. I started to pay close attention to that, but I have no Idea how I am supposed to record a video of it, cause it appears to be absolutely random.
