OK, so I asked for this feature a very long time ago and the staff at VDJ came up with the POI editor. Thank You!
So now I am trying to do a simple loop edit but can't seem to make it work correctly.
I do 50's parties once in a while and wanted to make a never ending version of "The Stroll" for a line dance. The song is only about 2 and a half minutes long so I need it to just keep looping. Normally, if there is an MC at the party, I just remix the song myself for as long as we need. Lately I've had to do the parties on my own so no one is at the decks to do the remixing. I have used the repeat function tied to a custom button but that is not as elegant as a seamless remix. (fade)..
To use the POI editor to do this, what EXACTY would be the command to make a point at the end of the song go to a point back toward the beginning? Say to match up a chorus at the end of a song, match a chorus at the beginning. Kinda like a goto command in computer basic language.
So you know, I tried to use beats but the song does not really have a good solid beat pattern so it doesn't really work well.
Thanks...

Unless you want an endless loop wouldn't the track editor be more suited?
In the poi editor you could create a cue point at the beginning and a action point using "cue 1" to jump back

I tried that but it wouldn't go all the way back. It was just going back some random amount and not to cue 1. Weird.
So, like I said, what exact action command should I use and is there any mods or additions to the command to make it go back to cue point 1?
Example:
Set invisible cue point 1 at first chorus. (say it's at 0:32 seconds)
Set Action point at last chourus that says: what?..

Place a hotcue at "loop in" point. Let's say hotcue 3
Then on "exit" point create an action poi with this script: goto_cue 3
Done!
