SC LIVE 4 - Waveforms drifting apart

Engine DJ Hardware Media Players

Hi everyone!

I’m having a very annoying issue on my SC Live 4 (running the latest firmware, but it has also happened on previous versions).

Sometimes when I’m mixing two tracks with the same BPM, the waveforms show a strange visual offset. It looks like one track is displayed at a slightly different scale, so even though they are actually in sync, the waveforms appear to drift or slide apart. It’s hard to capture on video because it happens randomly, but the display becomes almost useless for checking sync when it occurs.

When the issue starts to manifest, then it happens on every song until I restart.

I also tested grids by using the same track on both decks.

Has anyone else experienced this?

It doesn’t happen often, but when it shows up during a gig it’s quite distracting. Restarting the unit temporarily fixes the issue.

Try using your ears

Audio is in sync but the waveforms move at different speeds. I had this bug. Are you on the latest os version?

Try a factory reset

Most curious thing is that I had this behaviour on the Prime Go +, on Rekordbox for Windows, and also Rekordbox for Android. This happens totally randomly, Rekordbox for Android is the one that does it most times, very rare on Rekorbox for win and just twice on Engine OS.

Ok last night i playing at an event and it happened again randomly after one hour of gig and it kept going till the end. I couldn’t stop the music to reset.

I’ll try with a factory reset.

I have a video of this

This looks like the old form of wave display creation. At the playhead marker it’s on time and on beat. I think VDJ or Serato did the same.

In the new form the wave display should stretch or compact to show all beatmarkers on time.

Have you set tracktime to dynamic in prefs?

Exactly like it did on my Prime Go +, Rekordbox for Win, and Rekordbox for Android!
