Hello,
My son recently changed jobs and his new club uses Virtual DJ 5. At his previous club, songs were played for a maximum of 5 minutes and then another song was started for 5 minutes. He would also like to be able to do this in his new club. Is there a way to fade in, automatically, from say Deck 1 to Deck 2. He would then watch the time display to time out at 5 minutes to do this changeover operation.
Thanks, Lloyd

If you are playing songs in automix, then you can simply double-click on the next song in the playlist at the appropriate time to fade into it.
If you are mixing manually, then the action mix_now will allow you to do this. You will need to assign this to an appropriate key on your keyboard (Or a MIDI controller if you have one) by going to CONFIG -> Mappers (See below.)
The default skin in VirtualDJ v6 shows both elapsed and remaining time, so you can easily see when the correct time is to do this.
To map/change mappings:

To map/change mappings:
- Go to CONFIG -> Mappers
- Choose the appropriate device from the drop-down list, e.g: Keyboard, Hercules DJ Console, etc. or Simple MIDI Wrapper for a MIDI capable controller that does not have built-in (Native) support.
- Click the + (Add) button, then press the key/button or move the knob/slider that you wish to map.
- Type an appropriate action in the Action: box, e.g: mix_now

VDJ script was not available in 5, right?

Sorry, I dIdn't notice the '5' - If the club upgrades to the latest v6.1 version http://www.virtualdj.com/buy/index.html then they can use the above mix_now mapping.
However, mix_now also exists as a shortcut in VirtualDJ v5 and can be mapped to a key via the keyboard mapper.
