Request: Rekordbox DJ BPM more detailed
Hi! I've been using Rekordbox DJ since day one and alot of times the BPM shifts even when I set the tempo exactly the same according to RBDJ
For example: When I analyse 2 track on normal OR dynamic, and one is 121 and the other is 122 bpm. After beatmatching, within a while the two tracks just go out of sync.
I think this is due to the fact that the BPM counter only goes until a tenth (so 121.0 for example). On the CDJ's XDJ's the BPM counter goes until 121.00. It's way more specific.
Somehow I feel RBDJ round it up since sometimes 1 beat slower shows as 0.7% while I it probably should be 0.8%
It it possible just to get that extra number on the meter?

The RZ has a pitch accuracy of approximately 0.035%, not 0.1%.
The software may only show one decimal place in horizontal mode, but it is calculating a much more precise value and rounding the display.
There is no problem in using the sync button, it will provide a much more accurate pitch accuracy.
I have noticed this issue too and it's really annoying. I'm using ddj-rx controller. Please fix it!

I have the same controller, but I don't think it's controller-dependant. And I would say it's a quite easy "fix" although I think Pio does this to make the CDJ's a bit more superior.
EDIT: And I know it makes sense atm but it won't if there are DJ's who use the CDJ's as a controller.
I know one more person (my friend) who has ddj-rx and also has this beat shift problem. So yeah. It shouldn't be controlled-dependant problem but who knows. :)
I will wait comments from pioneer supporters.
ive got a ddj-rb does the same thing, its the software nothing to do with the units
Chris, maybe you tried serato software with your controller? Is there also songs are shifting even with the same bpm?
And message for pioneer: maybe you could make an additional option to choose 1% tempo range (near 6%/10%/16%/wide)?
You can get the BPM Info with two decimasl on vertical view mode on Rekordbox. Also when you switch view modes, the BPM will change for example a track that is showing 124bpm on horizontal will show 123.98 on vertical? Whats up with that?
The thing with Rekordbox is the precision on the Pitch Control is not good. I use DDJ-RZ and I can only get increments of 0.10% on the 6% range. On any CDJ you get 0.02%. That five times more precision. So when you try to beat match by ear on the RZ, you gonna have a hard time. I can only guess thats even worst on smaller controllers like RX-RR-RB. Only solution is to use SYNC button I guezz thats what they want anyway.
Yep, situation with small controllers is not good. Anyway, I paid for a product a lot money and it would be very good to have some new modifications or fixes in this part. #Pioneer, please hear us.
There's a magic button you can press that can instantaneously synchronize multiple tracks together with ease...
