Question about the offset buttons
Posted on: 12.07.2011 by Jacqulyn Cruson
Typically when syncing a track to the master track I will hit both offset buttons to lock the BPM with the master tracks BPM. The problem comes when I mix out the master track thus making the synced track the master track. When I hit the offset buttons again to make it play at its originial unsynced BPM it will often not go to its originial BPM, but to some seemingly random BPM that is often 4-5 off. Any idea why this is happening? What am I doing wrong?

Thanks DJTT!

I didnt even know the offset buttons did that haha.

2 options come to my head:

Use the master clock as master nd adjust bpm from there. That way everything is always at the same bpm when all tracks have sync engaged.

If you hit shift+sync it sets the current track to master. Just switch the master from the mix out to the mix in before you lose the first track.

As for using the offset buttons, I have no idea. I thought they just changed the % of pitch fader and showed if the track being mixed was +/- the master.
