Hello, thanks! I followed the picture and just tried that but it didn’t make a difference.

Thanks @adamhain Does your project happen to start before the first downbeat? As in the screenshot below. [Screen Shot 2023-10-23 at 3.49.15 pm] DAW Sync doesn’t grab a hold until the first downbeat so projects that have their project start marker before bar 1 will find that Scaler DAW sync won…

Thank you. Yes, I have the session starting at bar 1. I did try a blank session in logic with just one track and the problem went away! However all my projects begin with a template and it appears to be happening in all of these. This is odd though because I did not ever have this problem before wi…
