I am testing out Rekordbox DJ. I have my laptop connected to a DJM-900 Nexus and two Technics turntables. I am using the Serato Control Vinyl and I notice that there is a slight variation in the BPM speed. It is slight but there and noticeable when a song has a straight tone. I have seen other post about this but no resolution. Does anybody else have this problem? Has anybody seen an answer for this issue?

I had an old direct drive deck that started doing this - a noticeable change in pitch as the record revolved. Made mixing impossible.
Does it happen with a standard vinyl record or just the control vinyl?
I have only ever noticed it with control vinyl. I played some older records on there and there is no variation in the sound during long notes.
Yes same here. While my Technics are rock solid on Serato (about +/-0.1% drift when calibrated), there is a significant bpm drift in the rekordbox. The bpm is drifting for +/-0.4% all the time, making almost impossible to do a clean mix.
not sure if this is caused bu the serato vinyl (can't get the rb one in my country yet) but this should be somehow addressed...
