Sync Lock will also notice if one of your tracks is double the BPM of another

track with a 70 bpm dubstep track, Sync Lock will make sure they are lined up
properly.

You can create a variable BPM beat grids for single tracks by using the :guilabel:`Analyze`
library context menu and :guilabel:`Reanalyze (variable BPM)` command. Alternatively you may
create variable BPM beat grids for all tracks to be (re)analyzed later on by unchecking :guilabel:`Assume constant tempo`

the actual played tempo wasn't detected correctly.

If a soft leader deck stops or is silenced, Mixxx automatically selects the next best
deck as Leader. By clicking the Leader button, you can toggle between Explicit Leader
and Soft Leader mode. An Explicit leader is sticky, does not automatically move.
If a soft leader deck stops or is silenced, Mixxx automatically selects the next
best deck as Leader. By clicking the Leader button, you can choose between Soft
Leader and Follower mode. A Soft Leader is not sticky, and will automatically
move if the current leader becomes invalid.

By default the "Sync Lock with Dynamic Tempo" feature is enabled and Mixxx picks the
first Sync Lock enabled track as Soft Leader, using the tempo from its outro during
the following transition. If you'd like to use the the tempo from the intro of the next
track instead, click the Leader (Crown) button of its deck.
The deck then becomes the explicit leader. Click again on the Leader button and the
deck becomes Soft-follower and Mixxx is again in charge to move the leader to
the best deck.
The deck then becomes the soft leader, and Mixxx will use that deck's tempo instead.

The only case when a stopped deck can be a Leader is if no other deck is
playing. Once a deck starts playing, Mixxx will pick that as the leader instead.
If another deck starts playing, then you will be able to pick which one you want
to be the leader again.
