Hi @DJ_Big_Blender , indeed I play multi genre music (house, 80s, 90s, no techno)[quote=“DJ_Big_Blender, post:6, topic:34029, full:true”]
Hi @turbopussy,

Thanks again for pointing out the need to improve how gain is handled in Djay.

Since I submitted the "Handling Auto-Gain Better" suggestion back in June '24, it has received a lot of support. Fortunately, Algoriddim is finally looking into improving this and aligning it more with how other DJ software like Traktor and Rekordbox handle gain.

In the meantime, I’ve implemented the ‘Pickup Mode’ method as described, which helps a little in terms of sudden big jumps, but is giving other problems and so still far from ideal.

Since you’re adjusting level differences in almost 20% of cases, I’m curious about the type of music you play. Could you share more about the genres you’re working with? Different genres can vary significantly in terms of level and energy.
