If your CPU is powerful enough maybe the time stretching option is on ECO rather than HiQ in the preferences- that might potentially make a difference to the sound if you haven’t checked that, just a thought in case you haven’t checked it yet

Find the existing mapping commands that control the tempo bend from the jog wheel & set them for modifier 7 or 8 =0. That should disable the tempo bend for when you have the loop adjust mode on with the modifiers.

If you’re using an external mixer then you can connect the record out (or master 2) from the mixer to the “main in” on the Audio 6. Set the mix recorder setting to External, check your input settings are correct (it’s the bottom one in the list on the inputs page in settings I think – send/return, something like that) and that should do the trick. You only need to worry about the direct thru stuff if you’re using the internal mixer with a controller.

If you’re sure you’ve got the correct audio device set and you’re only seeing 2 stereo outputs (I’m guessing front left/right and back left/right) then you would need to select internal mixer mode and the outputs as Output master and output monitor(for the headphones). Also check the mapping is correct and working because it sounds to me like this could be your problem – check that the correct mapping is active in the controller manager and that the in port and out port are showing as the correct device. If it still doesn’t work the mapping might be at fault – I would suggest you download the mapping again if this is the case.

I hope you find this helpful.

If the faders were left up the last time the software was closed they’ve probably stayed that way after you’ve reopened the software again. If you have the faders visible in the user interface you will see this. When you move each fader the new position will be picked up by the software and it will move accordingly. If the Midi control for the fader is set to soft takeover it will only pick up when you move the physical fader to the same position as it is on the screen. The same applies if you move the on screen fader with the mouse on the screen. Hope that helps!

Additional beat markers can be placed in a track to adjust the phase of the grid if for example a breakdown (as mentioned above) drifts a bit before the beat comes back in. However the Bpm cannot be adjusted halfway through. This process of having more than one beat marker will be less likely to cause problems if tempo sync is used instead of beat sync…

In the controller manager You need to use Deck Common> Move menu and use “Move”, “mode selector” and “size selector” all mapped to the same button on the controller. These will allow you to set the move mode as “loop” which allows the loop to be moved, the actual move to be backwards or forwards and the size can be set as “loop” which will allow the amount of movement to be the same number of beats as the current loop length.

If this doesn’t make much sense yet I would suggest you open up the move mode in the advanced deck panel & have a play with the various settings to see what happens; this will give a better idea of how these parameters work.

Some interesting reading on this thread, and opinions that I am in agreement with. However, getting back to the original question about beat jumps: I own a pair of XDJ1000s that have the beat jump buttons on the touch screen performance part, but if you’re wanting to jump further through the track (albeit in a non-quantised fashion)you can use the needle drop feature: in pause mode or in vinyl mode while pressing on the jog wheel you should be able to touch and drag along the waveform on the touch screen, just like on the touch strip on the older 2000 versions. This should work on the new Nexus 2 versions I think. Hope that helps.
