XDJ-RX quantize problem

But why should it be snapped to the next beat if you only hit the hotcue e.g. 1ms late?
With the current behaviour the quantize function corrects hitting a hotcue only if you hit it earlier than it should be and makes you lose your timing if you hit it later than it should be. I feel like i did not had that kind of behaviour in other dj software like Mixvibes or Traktor.

I 100% agree with you one this one.!!! "that's how quantization works" is a dumb lazy answer if you ask me.

It should snap to whatever is closest but will sound proper!! not make things worse.... maybe right now this can not be done but I think quantize should be a little smarter. its obvious the if the DJ is using quantize for hot cues he/ she may be a little bit early or a little bit late Quantize is supposed to fix that. period. not only if your early, if your late then your whole mix is screwed. thats stupid.

That is what I mean. I wonder if the quantize works the same on other Pioneer units and I have not heard anything about that. We cannot be the only ones issuing about that.

@Anthony > It's neither dumb nor lazy to provide a straight answer when dealing with several hundred posts as all these users jump aboard the new rekordbox.

Pulse, I don't think the comment is about you personally, but more about the feature design (despite the use of the word 'answer', folks feel you are simply a conduit from the verbage used in engineering).

This behavior has always annoyed me. Snap-to beat (the closest) should be the behavior, even if late. I've just become complacent with hitting it early, which does not help promoting accuracy... Production music software uses a snap-to grid approach with quantize that corrects for slop (both rushing and dragging). Akin to the simple math rounding algorithm of i=int(var+.5), anything that is within the half-step is aligned to the closest step.

This has annoyed me since the 2000mk-1, FWIW...

Within the software you're able to adjust it to as little as 1/16th.

Okay, now I'm confused... you mean I can set the quantize interval for RX (or any Nexus deck) in Rekordbox? Is drag compensation provided there as well?

Sorry, upon further investigation it's for the rekordbox DJ mode only, not an export feature.

Thanks for the clarification

Does the qunatize function work the same on the cdjs? I am losing my timing so often in the mix due to hot cues that do not snap to the nearest but to the next beat. This is really frustrating...

i have a pioneer xdj rx and i have analyzed all my tracks on to my usb (500gb) when i go to the play lists on the controller the tracks are there but when i select a track "rekordbox track analysis required for QUANTIZE feature" comes up on the screen, it doesn't show a waveform and isn't quatized, can anyone help with this?

@kevin > Did you EXPORT them to that drive or is that the source drive?

i put them onto my usb drive the same way i usually did through rekordbox, but beginning to wonder if it is because the usb is 500 gb?

I have almost the same problem as Kevin. Sometimes the track analysis does work and sometimes not, with the same tracks. I used the export function.

@kevin > Nothing to do with the capacity.

@JJS  & @kevin > Are you guys running the latest version of the firmware (2.2.0), and have you tried exporting with rekordbox 4.2.5?

Yes
