I cant get quantize to work, It happened 1 time by mistake, Do u mean I have to press sync 1st then quantize, or do u mean that just quantize and sync both have to be on, or do u mean u have to hold the sync button while u press quantize ? Im confused - Also I realised that once it did work by accident. and the start/play button did quantize exactly to the beat, that pushing or pulling on the jog wheel no longer works, SO If ur beat grid analysis is even 5ms off, there is no way to correct once ur in quantize - is it me, or is this stupid ? I mean i dont mind having to press a quantize and sync, but to have the jog wheel locked off, just because im using quantize for my hot cue's is very silly.
I really really hope there is away around this.
Also, how do I know which firmware im running ? -
PLEASE HELP ME GUYS
It seems that you are confusing Quantize and Sync.

OK so ive worked out that, u can quantize the play button by making sure sync is on, then u can adjust the jog wheel, but then next time u re cue the same track, because u have used the jogwheel, the sync button is now flashing so the play button quantize no longer works,
SO - this means to use cue/play button quantize and the jog wheel to lock the beats, i have re press sync every time I re cue -- This is still stupid.
I need this to work properly for me.

It needs to work.
Is the firm ware still being updated ?
Can this be sorted ?
So we can use cue/play quantize but still correct with the jog wheel. without having to repress sync every time ?
PLEASE ?
Im sure it can be put in the firmware to always have cue/play quantize work after u re cue. Even if u have used the jogwheel in between ?
If its not in the firmware yet, how can i raise the issue ??
Is this the same on CDJ NXS's ?
In fact now ive just realised - in between using cue/play quantize and correcting with the jog wheel, u have to press sync twice, to get cue/play quantize to work again, once to stop it flashing and once to turn it back on full again -
VERY VERY ANNOYING.
PLEASE HELP.
Ok,
i just double check it. --> Everything is running well !!! There is no issue....
1. to declare what is "Quantize" : You are everytime ON Beat. LOOPs / Cuepoints were set exactly at the Gridmarker. If you press a Hotcue Button the Track will jump to this Point exactly IN Beat.
Example : Beat is 1,2,3,4 , 1,2,3,4 , .... you like to press at 1.0 --> pressing the Hotcue exactly at 1.0 or just a little bit before --> jumping in Quant to the HotCuepoint.
Pressing a little bit too late at 1.2 --> Quant is waiting until Beat 2 and then jump to the HotCuepoint.
In this Case Rekordbox / XDJ / CDJ is not jumping 0.8 before the Hotcue like Traktor did !
This is QUANTIZING !
2. Sync :
Deck A is running as Master with 126 BPM. Deck B is a 122 BPM Track. So activate SYNC at DECK B. Deck B BPM is now jumping to 126. Just press PLAY and the GRIDS are SYNC !! Not the BARs / Beats 1,2,3,4 !
So if you press Play when Deck A is at BEAT 3 --> Deck B will start with the actual Start BEAT 1.
So SYNC ONLY means that the BPM and BeatGRID is SYNC ! NOT THE BARs !
It is not necessary to activate QUANT for this SYNC !
IN SYNC Mode you are able to use the JOG for nudging and compensate wrong beat Grids. As soon as you nudge the Track the SYNC will blink and shows you a non SYNC Grid ! Press Sync for deactivating and Press again for re-Sync the Grid.
WHERE IS YOUR Problem with that workflow ? It is the same as on every DJ System or Traktor...
My problem with this work flow is that, if i want sync to work with the play/cue buttons but still be able to use the jogwheel to slightly correct. Then i have to press the sync button twice between every single re-cue of a track - this is quite annoying.
We need to be able to have synced cue/play, hot cue's and loops, And for that to always work even if we have moved the jogwheel slightly to completely lock the beats.
WHY do we have to press sync button at all (let alone twice) to reactivate sync on the cue/play, hot cue's and loops every single time we want to re-cue or mix the next track ?
We need sync for the cue/play, hot cue's and loops to auto work in beat with the opposite side deck every time we re-cue the same track or the next track, regardless if we use the jog wheel slightly.
Or is this impossible to implement ?
I am very careful with setting my beat grids, its just that in different tracks the transients of the different elements stack up differently, So regardless of how tight ur beat grids are, 50% of tracks still need slight adjustment to totally lock the transients.
Just because i have moved the jog wheel a tiny fraction, why should that stop the sync of the re-cuing ?
OK, So maybe i did miss understand. Its Sync that syncs the cue play buttons when u press them to SYNC them to the beat, not quantize.
Ok so quantize has nothing to do with the cue and play.
So my question is why does moving the jogwheel make u have to press the sync button again twice when i want to re-cue.
Is there anyway to implement a way where the cue/play hotcue and loops are always synced to the beat. So we can adjust the jogwheel to lock beats, but then still have sync enabled for the cue/play hotcue and loops without having to re-press sync again - once - let alone twice??
@Paul > "Is there anyway to implement a way where the cue/play hotcue and loops are always synced to the beat."
If you already have both tracks synced, then what you're asking for is quantize - snapping to the grid.
