Déjà-vu

From what i know, either you propose a "matching" view or you don't!
But a matching view without matching is "stupid"...
Look, i just got an idea that might fit most of your needs.
What about having the possibility to restrict the zooming range?
For instance, ok i never play songs pitched more than 8%, please do not zoom to more than +/- 8%.
pros: This would let you use the matching view for beatmatching without being disturbed by the extreme zooming cases (vinyl start/stop for instance).
cons: Adding some new tricky options is never a good thing for complexity and global undestanding...
Let me know what you think!
PS: in the next major version, there'll be the possibility to hide this view, for those who really hate it
