Beatgrids not transferring to Serato now

Hi Christiaan,

All of a sudden the grid from Lexicon is not being transferred to Serato after syncing.

I am gridding in Serato, sending back to Lexicon, the markers are good inside Lexicon but they are completely off in Serato after sycing back.
Any ideas?

How much is completely off?

It’s just not following any of my markers. One track in particular that I was trying to grid correctly is is Eric Prydz - Opus. As you may know, it starts off sounding slow but it is still 126bpm if you double it multiple times but speeds up gradually to a proper 126BPM for the drop so I had to mark it every 8 or 16 beats or something like that from the beginning till the drop and then do the opposite at the end when it slows back down. It’s not a drift and my markers show up still but they are not in the right place as they are inside Lexicon. I’m not in a hurry for this now, I have gridded that particular track separately inside Serato on my DJ laptop for tomorrow but next week when I prep again and sync back to Serato, it will be off again.






Did this track sync normally in the past? I don’t think anything changed here recently

I don’t know about this one actually but the way it has been working is anything that has the grid set properly in LXN syncs to Serato the same way as it is gridded in Lexicon. This doesn’t seem to be working now for me.

Try a track that you’ve gridded before and that you know will work in Serato properly.

This sounds like it could be a false positive for the beatshift problem

Hi Christiaan,
I hope you have been keeping well. It certainly seems like you’ve been busy.

Just wanted to say thank you thank you thank you for the beatgrid skip issue fix for Serato.
This must have been what was happening to me.

Remember I was trying to grid the Eric Prydz track a year and a half ago? lol

Anyway, after seeing the 1.8 update, I thought I would revisit it. I didn’t even need to go through gridding it again because I didn’t bring it back in to Lexicon after it not showing up correct in Serato after sending it from lexicon over a year ago. Didn’t want to lose the grid in lexicon.
After my sync this week, boom!, all good. Thank you so much for this. It works with other transition tracks also.

I love being able to see what playlist I’m dragging into more easily, and the harmonic match music icon you added. I wish Serato would add something like that.

I’ve noticed a couple of bugs.

First, most of the time, not always, when I right-click to select a hot cue, the colors don’t show up on the numbers and names of my cue points like they should.

Second, when I click on a folder that contains multiple other folders and playlists, I used to be able to search for an artist or song title directly in the playlist headers, delete an item, and have it removed from all playlists within that folder. That no longer works. I need to delete from each playlist under the folder. Something that used to take 2 minutes, took me half an hour today.

I use this because I have template folders set up for weddings, and when a client gives me a “Do Not Play” list, I need to click on their top folder, search, and delete songs or artists across all playlists under that folder structure.
Do you want me to list these under bugs?

Anyway, great job with 1.8, keep up the awesome work you are doing.

Glad that fix helped you! :slight_smile:

I haven’t noticed any issue with the cues. Is there any pattern to it that helps you reproduce it?

I’ll look into that folder issue. What I can see now is that it deletes it from the list but then it re-appears so that’s not right.

I’ll update when I know more!

Thanks

Folder issue is fixed in 1.8.2 :+1:

I saw that, awesome and thank you.

The cue number colour issue could be something on my end. I just took a screen recording and it seems to be when I click to change one that is already set that has a yellow colour.

Yeah that does look strange. Can you upload your Lexicon database & logs? From the Help menu.

Lexicon Database & Logs uploaded

Fixed in next update :ok_hand:

Sorry for the delay.
Thank you!
