Hi @MattWilkie,
Thanks for your questions about Automix. I’ll be happy to help.
Currently Automix allows a maximum manual mix duration of 32 bars or 32 seconds. You can set that in the Automix Duration settings here:
Just to give some background music theory behind this, 4 beats are in a bar typically, which means setting it at 32 bars would be equal to 128 beats. This means that you could potentially set it at the durations you’ve mentioned, where 32 beats = 8 bars, 64 beats = 16 bars, 96 beats = 24 bars, 128 beats = 32 bars.
You also mentioned the track seems to start in a random place at times, and it may seem random if you have the Automix Start / End settings set to Automatic. To avoid this, you can set the start point and end point of the songs manually in seconds, as shown here:
Regarding your questions about cue points, if you have the “Use start / end cue points if set” option toggled on in Automix’s Start / End settings, as shown here:
Then Automix will use any start and end points you’ve set on your songs. While it’s not possible to set cue points in djay while in Automix mode, you can easily switch over to 2-deck mode to set the cue points on your tracks, as shown here:
Any cue points you set for your tracks in djay are saved in djay’s library file and will be remembered in djay across launches of the app.
I hope this information is helpful for you. Please let me know if you have any other questions.
