Sorry if i was not clear.
Basically if you have a 4/4 beat, Mixxx draws 4 beats (ticks) per bar. In my example above (with QUANTIZE enabled), you`ll will only be able to set hotcues and start loops to/from 4 positions per bar:
Tick 1.4
Tick 2.4
Tick 3.4
Tick 4.4

If you have a good timing , and try to set a quantized 4/4 loop on a playing track, the loop-in point is not where you expected it (and pressed the button). It jumped to the next full tick instead. Clearly audible with vocals.

The proposal is to allow smaller distances for ticks. E.g with Pioneers Recordbox you can set the QUANTIZE BEAT VALUE (1/16, 1/8, 1/4, 1/2, 1/1=default like Mixxx).

Now having a QUANTIZE BEAT VALUE of lets say 1/2, i can have additional 4 ticks in between the main ticks until the next bar begins.
Tick 1.0/4
Tick 1.5/4
Tick 2.0/4
Tick 2.5/4
Tick 3.0/4
Tick 3.5/4
Tick 4.0/4
Tick 4.5/4
