Using negative beatjump desynchronizes the song

  • Device model: Macbook Air M3 2024
  • Version of operating system: 15.1
  • Version of djay: 5.2.5
  • Hardware/controllers used (e.g. Reloop Mixon 8 Pro): None

Your question:

When I use negative beatjumps that go beyond the beginning of the song, even though both songs have the same bpm, the beat grid gets out of sync. This only happens when beatjumping on a song that is already playing.

In the image, deck B is playing in loop. Deck A is playing and jumping backwards with beatjump. Both decks with same BPM. Both decks with the same song.


Thanks for the detailed information and screenshots @Manuel_Alejandro. I have forwarded this to the engineering team to see if they can reproduce the issue and offer any suggestions. I’ll report back here when I have news. Thanks!

Hi @Manuel_Alejandro, can you please confirm if SYNC is enabled when you experience this issue? 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? If you could also upload the songs you are experiencing this issue with that would be very helpful. Thanks!

key U = Skip 16 beats Backward
key J = Skip 4 beats Backward

Perfect. Thanks @Manuel_Alejandro
