Rekordbox OneLibrary Misaligned Beatgrids

[Andrea_Gangini]

I am writing to report a consistent issue I am experiencing when importing tracks from my Rekordbox library into djay Pro (using the standard Rekordbox XML/Library integration) from mixed in key pro and then exporting to Djay via OneLibrary.

The Issue: When I load tracks that have been analyzed and prepped in Rekordbox, the Cue Points import correctly and appear in the right positions. However, the Beatgrid is frequently misaligned or incorrectly analyzed in djay Pro, despite being perfectly aligned in Rekordbox.

It seems that djay Pro is respecting the Cue metadata but ignoring or misinterpreting the Grid information from Rekordbox, resulting in grids that drift or start on the wrong phase.

Evidence: I have attached comparative screenshots of two specific tracks to illustrate this issue:

1. Track: Alive (Anyma Remix) - RÜFÜS DU SOL

• In Rekordbox: The grid is perfectly tight and aligned with the transients.
• In djay Pro: The grid is offset/misaligned.

2. Track: Nobody - Mrak

• In Rekordbox: The grid is perfectly aligned.
• In djay Pro: The grid alignment is incorrect.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Analyze and grid a track in Rekordbox.
2. Set Cue Points.
3. Open djay Pro and access the Rekordbox library integration (OneLibrary)
4. Load the track.
5. Result: Cues are correct, but the Grid is shifted/wrong.

Could you please investigate why the grid analysis does not translate 1:1 from Rekordbox, or if there is a setting I am missing to force djay Pro to use the existing Rekordbox grid values?
Re-analyzing the track in DjayPro does not help

My System:

• djay Pro Version: 5.5.2
• macOS Version: Tahoe 26.1
• Rekordbox Version: 7.2.8

Hi @Andrea_Gangini, are you running your songs through Mixed In Key before or after you import them into Rekordbox? If it’s after, please try processing them with MIK first, import into Rekordbox, then export vie OneLibrary.

Hello! It’s been a week since my last reply. I’m going to consider this topic completed for now so I can focus on others. However, please feel free to respond and we can definitely revisit this. Thanks!

I am experiencing an issue with beatgrid alignment when using OneLibrary to sync playlists/music between Rekordbox and DJAY Pro.

Setup

• Rekordbox is used as my primary music management tool (playlist creation, beatgrid analysis, manual grid corrections, cue points etc.).

• DJAY Pro is used for live performance. I use a clean version of DJAY pro, meaning no track analysis done locally and only use OneLibrary via USB

• Playlists are synced from Rekordbox to DJAY Pro using the OneLibrary feature with USB.

Issue
For some tracks, the beatgrids in DJAY Pro do not match the beatgrids as set in Rekordbox:

• The BPM value often matches, but the grid is offset or drifts over time.

• This happens even for tracks where the beatgrid is manually corrected and locked in Rekordbox.

• The issue is more noticeable on certain tracks, but also occurs on tracks with a steady tempo.

With below printscreens you can see that in rekordbox the first beat is at 00:00.4

When loading the same track via OneLibrary in DJAY pro the first beat is at the start of the track.

It would be great if DJAY pro can work with the prepared beat grid from Rekordbox

Device model (e.g. 2020 iPad Air 4th Gen): MacBook Air 13-inch, M4, 2025
Version of operating system (e.g. macOS 14.4.1): 15.6.1 (24G90)
Version of djay (e.g. 5.1.2): 5.6.1
Version of Rekordbox: 7.2.8.0327

Hi, if you go and watch Mojaxx video about one library, he goes into some details about what causes that. It may help give you some clarity around why it’s doing it.

Hi @Casper_Gorter, I’ve merged your new topic with this existing one. Thanks for the details about your setup and the issue - this is very helpful! Can you please confirm if you are also processing your songs through another 3rd party software like Mixed In Key or Platinum Notes? Thanks!
