Could you please enable a gap in Automix? The user could specify it by inputting a negative number in the “Start Transition…” setting in the Automix preferences.
For some events, it’s necessary to have a gap between songs. Ballroom dances, swing dances, some weddings, events like that. To let the song come to its end (for a final dramatic flourish on the dance floor). And to allow a second or two for people to politely start finding a new partner. And because there’s almost always a strong change in the tempo between songs intentionally — this works best with a brief gap, not a cross-fade. Dancers at these events really hate cross-fades.
And these are exactly the kinds of events where I get dragged away from DJ’ing. So Automix is a life-saver.
Thanks!
Note: An old version of PCDJ had a great combination of features for this, although the interface was terrible. (See picture.) You could specify a low audio level, and PCDJ would cut off the quiet beginnings and ends of songs below that level. Plus you could specify a gap between songs, by using negative numbers. With those two features, you will always get the same gap without worrying about long almost-silent tails on some songs. (This would also work as the gap-killer that some users have requested.)
