Hi! I use streaming services mostly in DJay and am understandably unable to record my mixes. However, I sometimes have a great mix concept that I wish I could come back to and see again. Right now, my only options are:
- pause what I’m doing, set cue points, practice, remember
- if I didn’t do that (maybe I was mixing live and didn’t have the opportunity), I can at least look back at my track history
but that’s about it. it would be great if there was a ‘record actions’ or ‘record macros’ option, so that while I’m unable to record the mix itself, to record down every action I took, and be able to play from that set of instructions later on for tweaking. like writing into a file “loaded track A on deck 1, synced BPM to deck 2, started at cue point #3, looped 4 measures 4 times in a row, these effects applied, this fader moved,” etc. - imagine the self–playing piano with a music sheet loaded in it but for DJay.
this is similar to the piggyback suggestion I made on another post about setting custom mix transitions - I think some kind of ‘instructions’ file that can be called upon could be really useful.
I use to love the iOS app “Pacemaker” that had some features like these, using proprietary “.recipe” files to have instructions for a mix. since that app was shut down, I’ve been feeling like there’s a void in the DJ app world that DJay I believe is very capable of filling.
