What's "AutoMix"??

I'm not saying it (automix) isn't important, just that Timecode is the issue being fixed now and shouldn't be dropped until it's right.
I don't use timecode but still want to see put to bed.

Sure. let's argue which problem is more important... and then we have someone that says "what is automix". Obviously has never done a wedding, cocktail or played dinner music.

automix is like auto dj or in my case is used for song automation which is used first on a gig to free up time for the dj to socialize with the crowd etc for me its used to keep the music going 24/7 on my internet radio station so I don't have to be babysit it only when im on air to manually play songs automation is a big fancy word for automix

No arguing about what should get fixed and when cause it's all gonna get looked at sooner or later......
But just to clear the air for "Magic", yes I've done those things plenty of times and those are the times I roll with a partner.
I get more satisfaction out of mixing things myself. Not saying I'm better or anything like that so don't get it twisted but it's obvious I do things a little different then you.
As for doing a 24/7 radio show yeah I get that.
I just don't think it's reLly that big of a deal right when you still can use 7...............

7 doesn't offer time clock in automix where u know when a song I going to play that new in 7 also the tagging is a lot better in 8 and if u need to get a song from content unlimited u don't have to download the tag first its there already I have to report info on every song I play for royalty purposes the sound engine is better too

Automix editor was one of the most important reasons why I bought vdj. To prepare and finetune many playlist fast. But it is not working at all. Not fair to use it as sales argument. Please handle with priority.

Unfortunately, now that we don't what is causing the random problem, it will most likely be put on the back burner.
Oh well, thought I had the reason why it was stopping guys...
Also, most, if not ALL never MIX during dinner or cocktails. Most use autoplay... but if you mix during cocktail hour or dinner... great.
Locodog, it says your a home user? How are you able to use timecode? Isn't that an Infinity feature?

While I agree there are some features in automix that need attention namely the drag and drop feature and removal of tracks as it was in V7, these were great when using that side of the browser for taking requests and shuffling about tracks, but what really needs "love and attention" is the use of the video sampler.
The video sampler was given high profile status on the features side of the new V8 press releases, unfortunately while I love the new video sampler it still can't be used to it's full potential, we have been waiting months since the official release of V8 for it to be fixed. The problems that it has detract from the many pluses that it could have and I mean could have.
Namely, you can't use video samples unless you have a music video in one of the decks, which means the use of milkdrop loses half of it's "value", you have two empty/blank deck monitors when playing audio only files, yes I know it doesn't affect the output source, but it does look damn weird and unsettling when you and clients are looking at two thirds of empty display monitors on your screen. I'm sure in the early releases it would work even with just milkdrop running, in fact I mentioned in a post that the loss of clipbank would be negated by the new features the video sampler brought, but it appears this has been lost in updates to the official release and the current beta versions as well.
Hey, if I'm using this wrong would someone please let me know how to correct these problems and I apologise for my dumbness, remember I'm not bashing V8 here just pointing out what I think needs looking at first.

Agreed 100% - get AutoMix fixed as priority - Would love to run v8 but still using v7.4.1 as it is more stable and does some intelligent mixes..

In all honesty VDJ8 should not be out in the wild in such an incomplete state. There was very little internal beta testing and now we're doing it.

Seriously. I really think all the beta testers just hit play and nothing else. I haven't turned on vdj 8 in almost 2 months, nor do I intend to in the next few. I guarantee I will find problems after all the problems are fixed. I still find bugs in 7.4 to this day.
