I am having the cue to play button issue where it skips a beat or hiccups for a split second.
I always have played in this fashion where I use the cue button to start my music and if I am
satisfied where I am at I will press the play button while still holding down cue and then let go
of cue. Many CDJ users have started tracks in this fashion also for years
now.
On my nexus decks many times when I do this it will cause the track to skip a beat or hiccup for
a split second. Now I must state that is mostly always when I have "sync" enabled. I haven't
been able to recreate the problem with "sync" not turned on.
If I do not have sync turned on.... sometimes just pressing the sync button itself will cause this same
beat skip or hiccup to happen. It will usually work okay after trying a couple times.
I believe that I have read about other people having this same issue in a few other posts on here.
Is there a simple fix for this?
I can do a video of the problem and post on youtube if need be.
Thanks much,
Danny

This is normal behaviour using sync & quantise. Traktor does it too. Its just the player bringing the tracks in time. Try turning quantise off - this forces your timing back 'on the grid' and will cause a skip if your timing is off.
@Danny, I have seen this issue sometimes as well. But for me it only seems to happen on 1 deck. And it don't happen with all my music. Yes I do have the players synced to the DJM 2000 Nexus. And quantise is on. I was a traktor user Before I purchased the Nexus Prolink setup, and I didn't see this issue using Traktor. I have been working around it. But now that I see your post, maybe Gavin can have the Engineers look into it?

Honestly guys, this is just normal. Turn quantise and sync on in traktor and it behaves exactly the same way. If you quantise during playback anything there will always be a jump as the timing is corrected. Happens in every sequencer too. If you don't want it to skip then you just turn quantise off, it's not a bug.
And when you use quantize be sure your grinds etc are all corect at rekordbox..
The same happens on the MK1,
But this is because the cdj needs to buffer the track...
It will only happen the first times you press cue...
and when you loaded a track fast and immediately want to play it..
@ theone, are you talking about the hot cues?
My problem has nothing to do with hot cues.
I never once encountered this issue on my mk1 cdj-2000's.
I have tried to make sure the track is buffered up and that makes absolutely zero difference.
I will however try turning quantize off to see what happens as I have not tried that yet. I just find it
a bit strange that a function that is supposed to make these tracks snap more properly causes
it to go further out of sync by at least one beat.
I was hoping maybe Gavin or Pulse would have a bit of insite. I found at least two other posts where
people have mentioned this issue.
i know exactly what you're talking about, i think TheOne is talking about something slightly different to your issue.
firstly danny, have you properly checked and manually adjusted your beatgrids for every track as Tasos mentioned? if not then this could be the cause of your problem too - the quantise takes it's timings from the beatgrid and if the grid is off, you'll always encounter timing problems. i'd say roughly 75% of tracks i download from Beatport need a degree of adjustment.
also bear in mind that when using 'cue to play' with quantise switched on, cue is always unquantised and play is quantised so the second you press 'play' its going to jump to the grid and potentially wreck your mix if your grid isn't perfect. let us know how it works for you with quantise switched off.
hi,
I use the cdj 2000 MK1 so it isn't relevant but I thought I mention it anyway.
The "lag" also appears on my cdj while pressing the CUE button.
I use Class 10 sd cards of 32 Gb.
the thing is , when I load a track , and immediately start tapping cue.. the cdj has a "lag"
It's like the cdj doesn't respond on all the times i press cue...
This is only for the first few seconds , afterwards the track seems to be buffered.
I thought you maybe could have the same problem... but i guess you don't
Phil,
Thanks for the pointers! I am going to give this all a second look. I usually pay pretty good attention to my beat grids... But I am gonna
mess around with all of this a bit more before I post any findings. I did not know that cue is not quantized, thanks for that bit of info.
Maybe I am not making sure things are in good enough time before I hit play or sync. Maybe it just syncing it up 1 beat off because my
timing is that far off when I am cueing it up. Its possible as I have gotten rather lazy sinze having the sync button.
I want to play with it all a bit more before I report back. Thanks much, Danny
@TheOne > That's when the track is still loading it's the same on my 1000MK3's and as you say 2000MK1 also does this , usually it's when auto cue is enabled and the CDJ is still putting up the auto cue. (It won't do anything)
@ Sammy > that is correct .... I didn't know that the auto cue caused this.
Again something we learned today :)
