Annoying habit...

Annoying habit…

I wouldn’t necessarily call it a habit, but sometimes when I listen to a track (purchased, free download, etc.), it sounds off. Like not beatgridded. The track isn’t playing through Traktor or any other kind of software. Is it me or do some tracks just sound like this sometimes? If this is a stupid question, don’t judge me! :roll_eyes:

I won’t judge you, but yeah, it’s in your head. How can you hear beatgrids? Can you hear the cue points on normal songs?

For example, it sounds like a single track is two tracks being mixed together, out of beat.

Um, couple ideas:

  1. Stop downloading free tracks
  2. Listen to the track before you get it
  3. Maybe one ear is hearing one part and the other is hearing the other part a bit late
  4. Don’t do drugs

I don’t know dude, want to give up an example? I’m sure there are dudes here that would tell you if you’re nuts or not. Lol

I think this is very much in your head, mate.

But… Some older hip-hop tunes can sound a little like this - it happens when sampled beats/loops arent perfectly cropped.

It’s part of what gave early hip-hop it’s “rawness”. You couldn’t zoom in on the transients on the old MPC’s like you can now with DAW’s.

Guess it’s just me. Weird. Maybe I have two brains.

Haha 2 heads too?or packed in the same skull? :thumbsup:

Good question. I’ll get back to you. Maybe…my brain is in CDJ mode?

Press sync?

Worked like a charm. :thumbsup:

You sure you aren’t just hearing syncopation/shuffle?

I have no idea. I’m listening to the second episode of your podcast right now, btw. You must be telepathic.

Haha… I hope you enjoy :slight_smile:

I think I know what you mean. I hear the same in a track with a lot of drums, snares, claps etc.

check your soundcards software some of them have enhancements where they put delays on everything or your player settings. or dont do drugs is all

Ok, I will check the soundcard on my iPhone. Thank you.

if its for your iphone check your sound settings on the app your playing it on or you could stop doing drugs is all

Ok, I switched out the soundcard in my iphone. Still sounds weird. But I did just eat some mushrooms soooooo.

I think that’s it bro.

You’re in CDJ mode.
