Something I like to do is run an acapella on deck three over the top of deck one, and then smoothly crossfade into deck two whilst keeping track three running, so the main track changes, but the acapella stays running over the top. When I'm using a controller, that's not a problem - I can just assign track three to 'thru' on the A/B crossfader settings, so I can fade between decks one and two with deck three unaffected by crossfader position.
When I'm prepping and trying new things out with music, I don't always have my controller attached - it's just easier to just use the laptop and try bits and pieces out sometimes. Is there a way to emulate the above when I don't have a controller plugged in? If I set deck 3 to crossfader position A, I can't see a way to also set it to crossfader B (as clicking the '3' icon on that side disables it from the A side).
I know I could just run the acapella on both tracks 3 & 4, but it would be easier if I could just route a single deck to 'thru' like on a DJM.
Thanks :)

my point is to skip the crossfader and use your channelfaders, problem solved ;)

Difficult to do that with just the laptop though - I can't use both channel faders at once to emulate a crossfade.

Click the numbered button again and ut should turn off

You don't have to do that though. There's no rule that says you have to move two faders at once.
I never use a crossfader when I'm DJing, and not once has anyone noticed/complained/said anything.

Aha! That's the answer I was looking for. I didn't realise that when it was assigned to both sides of the crossfader it wasn't illuminated on either side. Thanks :)

I think you've misunderstood me. I'm not saying you have to do something in a particular way, I just wanted to do it in a way which works for me. I just couldn't get the software to do what I wanted it to. All sorted now though :)

It does actually mention this in the manual...
"If a deck is not assigned as left or right, it will be audible regardless of the crossfader position"
"If a deck is not assigned as left or right, it will be audible regardless of the crossfader position"
