Setting for Beatmatch Compatibility for Double vs. Half BPM Tracks
Request: I would like to suggest the introduction of a setting that enables beatmatching between tracks where one track has a BPM that is double or half that of the other. This feature would facilitate creative transitions between vastly different music genres, such as from Rock & Roll (e.g. 84 bpm) to Happy Hardcore (e.g. 168 bpm) (or vice versa) without the need to adjust the speed of either track to match.
Justification: This capability would expand the creative toolkit available to DJs by allowing them to seamlessly blend genres and tempos that traditionally may not have been considered compatible. It would be particularly useful for creating high-energy transitions, such as moving from Rock & Roll (typically around 84 BPM) to Happy Hardcore (often around 168 BPM), without doubling or slowing the playback speed of either track.
Implementation Suggestion: A toggleable option within the DJ.Studio interface that, when enabled, allows for beatmatching between tracks at double or half BPM speeds.
For clarity the labels should still display the original speed of a track and some kind where some kind of picto can show that it is a special double/half transition.
This setting should ensure that beat synchronization is maintained without requiring the adjustment of track speeds, thus preserving the original tempo and energy level of both tracks.
Thank you for considering this addition to DJ.Studio to enhance its versatility and creative potential.

It is coming. Today, it was already released in the interface. Later this week, the functionality.
We change the beat grid in the mix of that track. We need to do that since we align beats, and it is a lot of work to put two beats in one visually. But with this, you have the solution you are looking for.

Alright. I had already noted these new buttons and was hopeful that this was a first sign of this new feature. :-)
