When you load a song into mixmeister it calculates what it thinks is the bpm. If you change that then it will alter the song to compensate for the change. Let's say that the 2 songs that you were trying to mix were both at 138, but for some reason mixmeister calculated one of them at 139. If you manually change the one from 139 to 138 mixmeister thinks that you want to slow the track down. Therefore it will stretch the track to what it thinks it needs to be to be at 138. So basically if you know they are at the same bpm from the start, just ignore what mixmeister calculates for the bpm and just go straight into matching the beats. The numbers I used are just an example, I usually find that mixmeister will mis-calculate by a couple tenths(.1-.3), but usually not a full beat. Hope this makes some sense and will help.
