Flexible Beat grid not syncing

Lexicon version: …
Operating system (remove one): Windows / Mac

Bug description:

Export Disco/funk/multi-tempo tracks to Engine DJ and realised they don’t contain the grids.

Original tracks flexible gridded in Serato DJ

Do I need to lock grids in the Engine DJ export step. I don’t have them locked because engine does not have mass unlock.

Step by step to reproduce:

  1. Tracks with Flexible grids added to lexicon from serato

Synced the tracks to Engine DJ

  1. Grids not available in Engine as flexible grids

Screenshot:

You do need to lock the beatgrids or Engine will overwrite them. If you sync with locked grids, are you flex grids there?

Thanks.

I can try that.

I’m thinking of a work flow

  1. export lexicon library without lock

  2. create a smartcrate in lexicon for flexigrid

  3. export smartcrate only to engine dj

Will that work, as I don’t want to lock all my tracks in engine dj.

Yeah you can just export a smartlist to Engine without the lock. So just step 2 and 3. Don’t think you need step 1.

Reposting here - posted in the wrong section before

Just to follow up

  1. This worked fine.
  2. Got the usual shift which is a pain especially since they are tracks manually gridded.
  3. Kinda notice it’s more apparent in m4a files.
  4. I’m sure if there was a perfect solution you would have done it!
  5. I’m considering converting all the m4a to mp3.
  6. I have almost half of my library as m4as - 30k odd files.

So question

How is the shift in mp3 compared to m4a?

@Christiaan sent a folder of 10 m4a tracks your way.

Did notice the shift are on my m4as that are compressed ie AAC compared to ALAC.

Not seeing a shift for those files.
I added them to LXC, then sync to Engine desktop.

How did you add them to LXC? Dragged them in or imported from a DJ app?

Serato to Lexicon

Lexicon to Engine DJ

Okay, appears to happen when importing from Serato. I’ll make a small change in beatshift there in the next beta
