I'm trying to do a middle ground while I'm continuing to learn. Either DJ yourself live, or use Automix and let the computer get on with it. It seems to me that you're trying to use Automix at the same time as DJing yourself. The idea is to let the computer do the work. Posted Sun 19 Jun 16 11:55 Automix does what the name implies. It kinda feels like the whole point of it. If I'm using a two deck mode, I should have a bit more control over the mix than single deck mode. It puts music control in our hands, helps newer DJs transition to a higher level, and it makes sense. especially those who want to strictly use automix. So, as a halfway measure while I am practicing and improving, I thought this would be a great feature for myself and many other DJs using this software. However, I can't do that yet at live gigs without sounding horrible and unprofessional. I've been automixing for years and am trying to up my game and improve. In addition, it would be nice to start the transition when I choose from wherever the current song is. Use my headphones, spin the jog wheel to find the point I want to start at, and wait. Or, Use my controller and the existing waveforms. on a laptop screen, and try to have it done before the current song finishes. Open the editor, resize the window, resize the waveform, zoom in, try to find the mix point with a touchpad. Using the automix editor or the POI editor requires me to operate in software and away from the controls at my fingertips. I'm sorry, but that response seems dismissive. To do a manual mix, the easiest would be to disable automix, mix however you like and then re-enable automix. To change the start point, similar as you would do in v7, you can edit the automix points in the POI editor. Note that the automix editor saves mix-points for a pair of songs, so your custom start point will only be used when that song is played after that specific previous song. Adding insult to injury, it starts at the beginning instead of where I had set the cue. Automix decides that I'm stupid, mixes the next song it had, throws the crossfader back over, and transitions to the beginning! of the next track. I press play and cut the crossfader to the new song. If I decide to do a cut to the next song, automix wrecks it. In VDJ7, you could slide the little marker in the waveform. Sometimes I like to pick a good spot to start the next song. In addition, it would be nice to have the option of pushing play on the new song to initiate the crossfade. If I have a controller, I should be able to set the entry point of the incoming song. My request is for a way to accomplish what I said above. However, when your screen and keyboard are 1ft in front of your controller, it's difficult to use. Seems the only solution is to use the automix editor. Automix starts at the beginning of the new song again. So, I repeat the process except that this time, I press the cue button. Automix starts at the beginning of the new song anyway. I use my jog wheel and headphones to set the incoming tracks start point. I enabled automix, both songs show up in the decks. So, I just started using a controller and thought it would be easy using dual-deck automix to set the start point of my next song.
