2020-09-24 22:45:04 Milkii Brewster description So far, it appears to me that if Mixxx gets the tempo incorrect, it gets it incorrect at some fraction of the actual bpm. This is why the 'Change BPM' submenu has entries to adjust the number by some fraction. But I would suggest that many cannot think in these terms and could compound the problem, something stressful whilst trying to mix. My suggestion would be an option in the 'Change BPM' submenu for 'Tap to detect fraction change' or something; because whilst a tap tempo might (probably won't imho) give the correct tempo, it will (most likely) give a tempo near the resultant tempo fraction change options available, thus alleviating that choice from the user.
