    What software / hardware are you using what is the RANGE set to on your pitch fader?

    Thats a pretty common issue with sync that can be quite irritating. The track is resetting to where its pitch fader is set as opposed to being sync’d with the other track. For a workaround you will have to keep the other deck playing (fader off) and reduce this down/up to where you want the track to be.

    Thanks guys yes i’m using traktor 2.5 with a kontrol s2…..the tempo range is on 8% but i put it up to 25% made no difference as soon as you touch the tempo fader the track jumps to where it should be which doesn’t sound great……i tried turning synch off once the track starts but it still does the same thing….any ideas? I did try what you said Steelo but can’t quite fig out what you mean….

    Thanks again

    There is nothing to change, it is just the normal way it works.
    Look at the slider next to the track in your Traktor deck – once you press sync, you will recognize the bar will dim a bit and jump a minor or major part above or under the center (center = original tempo of the track!) of the slider.

    If you turn of sync now, you will see the slider does NOT move, it stays the “synced” tempo.
    Logically, if you move your (hardware) slider fader now, it will move the tempo slider the distance you moved it plus (!) the distance traktor has corrected when it synced the track (spoken in visual terms 😉 ).

    Only solution I could imagine would be to move the (hardware) fader to the approximate position it has in sync, turn off sync, and move from there.

    Other question: If you can beatmatch, why use snyc? You could also decline or increase the master tempo and all decks will act accordingly.

    Hope I could help!

    Cheers!

    Yeh got it cheers papa bear….makes sense yep you can just move the tempo fader anyway…..still learning to beatmatch not too bad getting better…..just for some mixes i use synch when the bpms are close together for speed…..i only mess around at home at the moment never played out and wouldn’t mind if i didn’t just love the music!!

    Cheers for the advice n cool logo!
