Hi @Tebri_Geperzo, welcome to the Community! Thanks for the details about your setup and this issue. Since this sounds quite repeatable, can you please try to capture a short video of the issue, upload it to your Google Drive/Dropbox, enable sharing permissions, then share a link to the video here? This will help to communicate this unusual issue so we can try to replicate it and offer a solution. Thanks!

You’re welcome @Tebri_Geperzo. Maybe you shared the wrong video, but I don’t see any looping happening in that one.

But you can hear a loop going on in the video, don’t you?

I don’t know that track so I just thought it was part of the song. So it’s an “invisible loop” and happens with different songs or always the same song?

@Tebri_Geperzo, can you please confirm if this only happens with SoundCloud streaming songs? Or does it also happen with local mp3s stored on device or with streaming songs from other services?

Hi again! :slight_smile:
Yes, it`s an «invisible loop», happens with different tacks, also on local mp3s stored on the device.

Edit: Can also add that this first started on the 18th of January 2025. Been using Djay for years without any issues.

Hi @Tebri_Geperzo, thanks for confirming.

  1. Can you please confirm your exact iPad model since there are multiple iPad 3rd Gens?
  2. Also, are you using Neural Mix?

Hi,
Model: iPad Pro (12.9-inch) (3rd generation)
Model Number: MTHV2KN/A

Yes, I often use the Neural Mix EQ.
I just tried playing through the same song shown in the video after restarting the app and without applying any of the neural functions. Seems like the Neural Mix is the culprit here. If you have applied Neural Mix in some form to a track, the bug seems to be persistent (happening at random times) until you completely reload the song.

Thanks for the additional info @Tebri_Geperzo. That’s very helpful!
