hi guys i’m having a really annoying issue when scratching in tracks at the start they will randomly pause and appear to be re analysing the track, am also using neural mix I have tried using smaller playlists and the problem still persists. I am using flacs also. I have attached a link to google drive which has a video demonstration of this issue, thank you

Hi @thebigmakconspiracy, thanks for the video and explanation of the issue - this is very helpful. You mentioned that you are using FLAC files.

  1. Are these stored on your Mac internal drive or on an external drive or in iCloud?
  2. Have the songs been fully analyzed before you start playing them?
  3. Are you running any other applications in the background other than djay? Thanks!

I noticed this issue occurs when a track has not fully loaded from a streaming service (Tidal in my case) and the software allows the track to partially start. The effect is more pronounced depended on the internet speed (track loading time). It may also happen if track is analysing. I find this acceptable if you need to start the track quickly.
