Topic: Songs are on beat...but can't get drums to hit

Ok, so I normally use the Acid Beatmapper to get my songs at 132 BPM, and play them on top of each other to make sure they're perfect. The problem is when I play a song in Virtual DJ, the BPM's show up the exact same, but I can't get the bass drums to line up, even if it cue it perfectly, it's like one is hitting about a half second later than the other, no matter what.

This only happens with some songs, I was wondering if it had something to do with the settings. I know the songs are at the exact same BPM, so maybe I am doing something wrong, or need to change a setting.

Also, if I manually raise the pitch then hit the "magic button" I can usually get it to work, but it takes longer and I shouldn't have to do it if the songs are at the same BPM.

Are there any specific settings I should be using if I have the songs BPM pre-set?

Thanks, any help would be appreciated.

Also I have a question, before I make a beatmix, I cue up the songs, and usually the CBG's aren't aligned up so i just set a cue point anyway, i press play on both cued up songs and the beatmix is absolutely perfect, but the CBG's aren't aligned, but when I go to align them by phasing and the Squares and Rectangles and perfectly aligned, but now when i press play on both, theres a delay between the songs, like its not on key ??
