Master your DJ software with Rekordbox Made Easy: djtips.co/rekordbox
If you're using Rekordbox and your auto-loops aren't lining up properly, you're not alone. We've discovered an issue with auto loops - specifically when working with tracks that have variable tempo (like live drumming), auto loops can fail to line up properly, even when the beat grid is perfect.
In this "quick DJ tip", I'll show you exactly what's happening and the simple fix that solves it immediately. If you've experienced loops that sound off-beat or drift out of time, this is for you.
We've reported this to the Rekordbox team, so we'll update you if we hear back about whether it's a bug or intended behaviour.
