Kick drums sound distorted when changing BPM of a track

And also to add that not only does the kick drum sound distorted, every other kick sounds like its out of sync even if it is synced perfectly.

Hi, i have a similiar problem with rekordboxdj. I wrote this issue some months ago. Here it is :

Hi Pulse, thanks for your answer. But normaly i use HID mode mostly. I mean, there is a audible difference on my setup with the soundquality when i use HID in performance mode. Or link in export mode(usb stick analyzed in rekordbox, )or cd. When i mix 2 tracks together with the mastertempo engaged on the players (hardware mastertempo processing) it sounds perfect while mixing. But in performance hid mode with mastertempo engaged on the software, 2 tracks together, it sounds , that it is tiny offbeat... not exactly pitcht together. maybe its a difference in the processing. Kind regards

Hope they fix this soon! Its not possible to use rekordboxdj with this issue!

I have a same problem with rekordbox Performance mode and DDJ-RB! Please fix this Pioneer or help!

This issue makes my mixes sound like shit. The kicks sound distorted. Its like not even convenient to be able to move BPM's up and down because it changes the quality of the track. I wish pioneer would fix this along with SYNC button not beat matching tracks even if the beat grids are set perfectly. Rekorbox is garbage

@Miguel > Are you using it with the Master Tempo on or off?

@pulse, master tempo is on. I have sent samples via email so they can forward to engineers. Basically when changing the bpm from a track whether it be up or down, it changes the sound of the kick and the quality sound of the track as well. When lets say theres a track at 138 and the other one is originally at 132 then moved to 138, when playing the tracks together the tracks sound of of sync every other kick and the sound of the kick changes a lot as well. You can test this out yourself and hear it. 

I thought im the only person with that problem :-) good im not :-D hope they will fix this in the next update :-) when i mix trance with straight beats its much more than in house etc...

I dont think its the software, it seems to be the unit itself. When i turn off the master tempo button the issue goes away. Pulse hasnt chimed in again on this issue and pioneer hasnt responded to my emails. Great customer service.

Hi, Its definitely not the unit, because if i use usb stick or export link mode it works fine. Its only in performance mode when the software prcessing the mastertempo. I test it without the players, just by push the play buttens and sync. Without mastertempo it sounds fine, but with mastertempo on, there is the issue.
