Hello, of course smartplay must be disabled!
and autobpmmatch must also be disabled! Mallmuzik/settings/VDJ options Disable smartplay=NO then start playing the intro and the first track, then press Ctrl+o you will get a menu that you have to recognize OCR and there enter on the smartplay position. This enables for the left deck, and for the right there is a shortcut Alt+o. Of course OCR will not tell if the option is checked or unchecked so you have to know this from experience.
Finally for the appropriate deck you have to disable smartplay and play the recorded mix.
The autoPitchlock function will only work when the BPM are identical so it can remain enabled.
When the BPM are equal and the track is playing then pitchlock will automatically turn on.
If you disable autopitchlock you can turn it on temporarily with the shortcut Shift+F9, but you have to do the right order of actions.
You align the BPM, then play the track and then turn on the pitchlock.
