Hi @Carlos_Gama , welcome to the Community! Thanks for the details about your setup and the issue. Can you please share a short video to clarify this? Thanks!
Hello,
In this video, when I move the right fader the sync stop, when I move the left fader the sync works and both move fader move.
It doesn’t happen all the time, sometimes the tempo range adjusts automatically and the sync keeps on.
Thanks
Thanks for the video @Carlos_Gama , I could be wrong, but I think this might be a Master Tempo issue. When in Sync, you need to move the Tempo Fader of the Master Deck. If you move the non-Master deck fader, Sync is automatically disabled. Please review the links below and let me know if this helps explain how the Master Deck is determined.
@Adi_Grecu
I suspect what is happening, is that you are attempting to change the tempo of the Slave Deck instead of the Master Deck.
In this situation, Sync will turn OFF because the system assumes you want a different tempo for your incoming song.
For example, if are playing on Deck 1 with the Crossfader to the Left and the Channel Fader open, this will be considered the Master Deck because this is the one with audio going to the sound system.
If Sync is ON for both decks, but you try to use …

If Sync is ON for both decks, but you try to use the Tempo Fader for Deck 2 (which is the slave), Sync will turn OFF. Instead trying using the Tempo Fader of Deck 1 (which is the master).
Just remember, the easiest way to determine which deck is the master is by which one the audience can hear.
Please try this and let me know if that works.

Here’s the other section:
Hopefully this doesn’t confuse the situation, but here are some more details to explain how djay determines which deck is the Master Tempo Deck in various situations. However, like stated above, the easiest way to remember is that the Master Tempo Deck is the one that the audience can hear through the sound system.
SCENARIO 1: No Decks Playing
With Sync OFF and 2 new tracks loaded into Deck 1 and Deck 2.
The Deck that you press the Sync button ON becomes the Slave and the other becomes the Master.
For example, if you press Sync on Deck 1, Deck 2 becomes the Master Deck.
SCENARIO 2: Two Decks Playing
This is basically the same a Scenario 1, but with both Decks already playing.
With Sync OFF and 2 new tracks loaded and Playing on Deck 1 and Deck 2.
The Deck that you press the Sync button ON becomes the Slave and the other becomes the Master.
This is assuming the Crossfader is in the Middle and both Channel Faders are up so that you can hear both songs through the sound system/master output.
SCENARIO 3: One Deck Playing
By default, the actively playing Deck is the Master. So the Deck that is Playing through the master output and the audience can hear (ie. Channel Fader and Crossfader Open ).
Pressing Play and the Sync Button on either Deck 1 or Deck 2 will Sync it to the one that was Playing first. For example, Deck 1 is playing through the main speakers and Deck 2 is paused with a new track. If you press Sync on Deck 1 or on Deck 2, Deck 2 will Sync to Deck 1 because it’s already playing and is considered the Master Deck.
The first Deck remains the Master Deck until you stop playback and load another track onto that Deck.
In this case, the other Deck that is now actively Playing with the Channel Fader Open and Crossfader side Open becomes the new Master Deck.
Hopefully that helps clarify things
