We need more information to help you. Try playing it at home and record a video. If necessary, replicate the session to use the same tracks. You should have it in your history.
2.- We assume the tracks are correctly analyzed in Engine Desktop and exported with Sync Manager.
What analysis range are you using in your options?
Were you using the Ableton Link? It’s possible that the delay in the configuration (just below the option to connect Ableton) was out of date.
This could simply be a problem with aging grease that has become hard over time, slowing the rotation of the motor’s central shaft. The grease may need to be replaced. The update may be just a coincidence.
Two tests to perform:
Do an instant double on the same player (in dual-layer mode) with the latest firmware version and see if there is any drift between the two layers. Do this on each players.
Downgrade to version 4.2.0 and repeat the same test with that version.
If the drift occurs regardless of the firmware version —> you should replace the grease on the player where you notice the drift. If the drift only appears on 4.3.2 and not on 4.2.0, then it’s most likely a bug in the latest version.
You might not think so, but you came here for help and we’re asking for good reason.
It could be that one or more of the problem tracks has an unsteady tempo, but if you refuse to tell us at least two of the tracks that you’ve tried to mix, we can’t possibly know, and we can’t try the same mix ourselves to replicate the issue and test.
I understand the reason for the question and appreciate your help. I’ll find the tracks and list them when I’m back home. It would be very strange if it was the tracks as these are tracks I’ve played many time before.
Why are you ignoring the people who are telling you the obvious first step? Instant doubles of one track on both units will tell you whether it’s a grease/spindle issue. If it’s not, you move to the next phase of testing.
Yes… it’s the simplest and quickest, two identical songs, with the engine on and off, to see if it’s a grease problem or a software problem or something else.
