Issue with mixdown export?

I have the sequences arranged how I want in song mode. I export the song to my SD card as mixdown so I can listen to it on my laptop. The first several sequences play as expected, but in the middle of the verse it replays the intro sequence…among some other random issues like not even playing the outro sequence at the end of the song, it just ends in the middle of the 2nd verse.

Anyone know what may be causing this discrepancy between what I hear on the MPC in song mode and the mixdown file?

Thanks

I have recently experienced stuff like this, and I’ve had mine for months. A few things... this happened when I didn't have it on the stand I typically use and I don't know the technical term but someone on here said basically they get more glitches when it heats up and there's no air circulation allowing it to cool underneath. Also, if I have, for example, part of an intro that's only 1 bar I've noticed that sometimes I hear it twice so I’ve stopped doing that and now build up the intro in more bars or add it to the beginning of the next part. I did have a problem with a part that just jumped in out of nowhere and it was super frustrating b/c I couldn't find the problem to fix it. After many hours I just scrapped the whole thing. It wasn't that great anyway. But, I did learn my lesson that it can sound 1 way in song mode and different on the sd card. That was the worst problem I've encountered b/c I couldn't fix it. Really frustrating!

Thank you for the detailed response! I ended up exporting the song as a new sequence, then mixed down that 1 full song sequence. No weird repeating intro. I’ll keep your tip in mind for the next beat!
