My theory is that you are so used to quantised beats, that when you hear a late or early snare you believe its off the grid.

This makes me kind of sad. All the sex and beauty of funk and dance music comes from swing and shuffle.

I prescribe spending your entire weekend listening to every Fela Kuti track on Youtube.

2 days of hammering interplaying swinging polyrhythms will cure your affliction.

If I'm listening with a good set of speakers or headphones I find little bits of a track that piss me off sometimes like a bit of distortion after a vocal sample or a hi hat where the rest of the mix is really tight.. I believe its one down fall of being a music nut/dj haha

This is either funny or sad.

Im guessing you are so used to quantised beats that when you come across a beat with a late or early snare, you believe the beat is off.

Swing and funk come from this place. Late kicks, early kicks, pushing and pulling the snare. These are good things.

Everytime someone puts a funk or early disco song in Ableton and quantises the timing, Bootsy gets a ulcer.

Now this is entirely hypothetical, but theoretically it is possible for your left and right ears to be un-synchronized, meaning that you could have some level of cerebral degeneration in your auditory cortex. Go see a specialist and let us know what he tells you.

Does this happen with every media on every device you play it with?

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

I believe 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.
Yong Aptekar

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
Marcelina Hanaway

For example, it sounds like a single track is two tracks being mixed together, out of beat.
Yong Aptekar
19.09.2013
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?
