I have been away from this board for quite a while.
I started using VDJ in 2004 or so. i've used VDJ for some years, halfway i switched to Traktor on OSX for slight better stability and more professional sounding FX.
now that VDJ has evolved over the years i was curious vdj was any better than the last version i used years ago.
i have played around with VDJ 7 and 8 for some while, but there is something in VDJ i really do miss:
when using a reverb or delay effect, if you turn it off, the sound of the effect is gone instantly. there's no tail!
you still should hear the 'tail' of the effect when you turn it off (like it does work in NI's Traktor)
does anyone know how to do that in VDJ? or is it simply not a feature in VDJ?
i use it all the time in Traktor

It's not a part (yet) I had a plugin that worked around the problem by cloning and other script trickery to get the clean tail effect you described but the plugin was denied due to, well, that it wasn't idiot proof.

It is possible in a vdj effect, but it is currently not done like that in reverb and echo.
(For plugin developers, vdj8 has a flag VDJFLAG_PROCESSAFTERSTOP so that an effect can implement a smooth stop. Currently it is only used for a very short time just to eliminate clicks)
The problem to me would seem what if you want the effect to turn off instantly?

no, the opposite when i turn off the effect, i still want to hear the tail of the effect decaying / fading out, not to be shut down instantly

Thanks for that lead, I'd see this smooth stop as another button (or a flag), and the original off button queries the flag.

Yup this has always bugged me aswell. Maybe Adion or anyother plugin maker should branch out and try some of the competitions software and fx's so maybe they'll have an understanding of what were asking for....... Or use a Pioneer mixer, turn on the echo or delay and then turn it off. Once turned off you can still hear the tail fade out instead of this instance off like VDJ has always done.......
