Could it be done to have VDJ to output 5 stereo channels with the separated stems for each deck? (Ending up with 10 stereo channels or 20 mono channels for 2 decks :-o) That would be incredible to make awesome cool Dub sessions where you can add the reverb, echo and other FX on the exact vocals and/or instruments when the output is routed to another software.
And also, can a MiK Energy level field be added in the tags and sorting in playlist so I do not need to use the comment area?

sure it's just a question of a big skin, a lot of mapping and a powerful machine.
Somebody bugged me about it a while back I made a skin but they got kind of disappointed when they asked "how do you HW control it?"
I replied "you need to map it" I guess they didn't understand a 10 deck setup wasn't going to be easy.

Yes, one can change the name, "User1" (or User2), by modifying user1FieldName (or user2FieldName) to "Energy" in Options.
And maybe also modify the favoriteTags1 for the values of Energy (you wish to have suggested to you in the Browser Info window's dropdown.)
PS
I wish that the suggested fields would NOT prepend the "#".
(is there a way to eliminate the "#" ?)

Really! I was thinking to route the outputs to my DAW to be able to "dub master" it via my midi controllers, but if there already are a skin it is even better! Can I try that skin? Do you have a link for it? :-D

Thank you man, that suggestion will do until we get a real field for energy :-)

I can't find the skin, I can't remember spending much time on it, I think it was bare minimum after he kept bugging me, he didn't seem to get the mapping was the bigger part of the project.
I just bodged a m$ paint mock up if I was going to make it seriously
red will be level dials
yellow will be color filters
green will be deck eqs
white would be some buttons to snap deck back to follow another deck
looks a bit cramped, I'd cut it to 2 fx slots
probably have something shared between the 4 sub decks for song position.
plus there's a lot in this picture that is just part of my [forever] WIP skin that wouldn't come across, like no rhythm wave, the extra custom dials, custom buttons on the top etc
I honestly don't have much appetite to really make it, but if numbers wanted it with beers as encouragement then maybe.
the real bit is having the HW to control it, you're talking like a launchpad and a bank of dials like FF EC4 or DJTT MFT
Honestly it [the concept] seems a bit much for 1 person live, maybe as a short routine, maybe as a duo trio. Really feels more like a not live venture

Oh, I was more thinking like using the default skin but having an option to have audio output for 10 stereo stem channels so I can route the audio to any DAW through my Presonus mixer. I think I need one monitor and my dj controller for the beatmatching and one monitor and controls for doing the Dub effects, with for example a DAW that I control with my Akai Midimix and maybe the Push2 or preferably if I get everything to work as a concept, I build a custom Dub Master controller.
I am now using the Amp Freqq as a dub controller software and the midimix with an overlay, but I lack the possibility to add effects EXACTLY where I want them, as you do if you have the the original stems and use a DAW. Thank you anyway for responding, making a special Dubmaster skin would also be awesome, but as I said I do not need to have a million deck and not even the GUI to see all buttons and faders. :-)

If you want to have ten stem outputs then you need to have ten decks. You can't have multiple outputs from one deck.
What it is possible though, is to apply effects to the stem parts as they're playing live from each deck. There are pad pages for that.

What do you mean we can't have 10 outputs from one deck? It's already 10 separated audio streams with 5 stems in stereo internally in one deck, why can't those be programmed to be routed to outputs?
I know it isn't possible right now since the software isn't programmed this way. But it should be doable? If it isnt some licensing thing that stops implementing it.

I mean it's not possible. VDJ can't do that. I don't think I can be any clearer.
Other non-DJ software can separate out the stem tracks then play them to separate outputs, but even then each stem would be on a separate "deck" (DAW audio track).
VDJ is not a DAW. Use the right tool for the job. :-)
