Hot Cue for different versions of the same Beatsource song conflicting.

  • Device model (e.g. 2020 iPad Air 4th Gen):
  • Version of operating system (e.g. macOS 14.4.1):
  • Version of djay (e.g. 5.1.2):
  • Hardware/controllers used (e.g. Reloop Mixon 8 Pro):

Your question:
*5.1.2
*Macbook Pro
*beatsource

I notice if I have different versions of the same song, e.g. I wanna dance with somebody (intro edit) and I wanna dance with somebody (album version) that when I set cue points to one song, say the intro version, it tries to mirror them in the album version. This would be amazing if they lined up properly (they’re 1/2 to a full beat off). It doesn’t seem like the end of the world, but when you fix one of the tracks, the other track is altered and thus off. Therefore I’m unable to set cue points for both tracks. ATM I’m only noticing this in my Beatsource folders, which is my source of dj music.

Thanks for sharing the details about your setup and the issue @jmoak311. Can you please try to capture a video of the issue, upload it to your Google Drive/Dropbox, enable sharing permissions, then share a link to the video here? Thanks!

The version on the left is the intro edit and the version on the right is the album edit. Notice the cue points have copied, but they are out of beat. If I try to adjust them, the other track is affected. These are beatsource folders but I noticed it in other folders too.

You’ll notice I’ve gone ahead to try and reset the first cue point of the radio edit on the right and it reset the cue point of the intro edit on the left.

It’s looks as if I don’t actually name the cue point, (see track on left deck) I do so by beats not bars (long story) it seems to work.

Thanks for the additional info and screenshots @jmoak311. This is super helpful. I’ve passed this onto our engineering team to see if they can replicate this and offer any suggestions. I’ll report back when I have news. Thanks!
