I don’t have many details, but I was playing using three decks yesterday and after Deck 2 track ended, I loaded up a new track and started a loop. I switched from Deck 2 to Deck 4, pulled down Deck 4 fader just a tad, and introduced Deck 2 pulling the fader up.
When stopping Deck 4 using the Play/Pause button, Deck 1 (which was about halfway through the track) started over completely from the start of the track.
This is not the first time I’ve run into this issue. Though I am fuzzy on the exact details, I am 100% certain that I only pressed buttons and interacted with the right side of the controller (Deck 2 / Deck 4), which should have had zero impact on Deck 1. Also, I’m not aware of any normal way of resetting a track like this to even see this behaviour, save having a CUE at the beginning of the track, which I did not have and I did not press a CUE button or any other button on the left side of the controller.
This happened twice yesterday.
The main track is playing and gets reset to the very beginning in a four bar loop.
Hey, thanks for your suggestion. I was pretty sure I didn’t have either of these enabled, but wanted to confirm before saying anything.
- The two physical switches on the front which control Fader Start are set to OFF.
- Crossfader is disabled for all Decks (Thru)
- There is no “Crossfader Start” option within Engine DJ Profile, nor Engine DJ OS 4.3.0
- I checked like four times but if you’re confident it’s there and can tell me where to look, I’ll double check.
This has happened while both of my hands are off of the decks. I have a video where someone came up next to me and recorded himself dancing nearby, with both me and him in frame, this happens, he says “Oh wow how embarrassing” and then I tell him snarky like “Yeah that’s Denon for you” or “Yeah, I’m working on getting actual professional equipment”.
Happened at almost exactly 2 hours and then 4 hours this previous time.
And yeah, it was embarrassing, but having that documented is pretty priceless.
