Bug Description

This is a new feature request:

Cue point A is placed in Deck 1, Cue point B is placed in Deck 2. Deck 1 is playing, Deck 2 is stopped. When current play position reaches Cue point A , this triggers play starting from Cue point B in deck B. Add an option to choose if playback on Deck A should continue or not once the Deck 2 playback starts.

It looks there is already a Cue type JUMP definition (in class Cue, enum CueType -- src/librray/dao/cue.h). I am wondering if this somehow serves a similar purpose as the proposal. However, I was not able to find any references to the JUMP cue type in the code.

Please someone correct me if I'm wrong, but JUMP cue point was intended to be: when track reaches point A, jump to point B on the same track.

This is an interesting proposal, how would it fit in a n-deck setup?

I remember a discussion about a similar request involving the auto-dj. I can't find the bug now though. Anyone remembers this?

Yes, this is very similar to https://bugs.launchpad.net/mixxx/+bug/673515. The only difference is it affects the main decks, not just the AutoDJ. However, please feel free to mark it as duplicate.

Is there a use-case to use these cue points without Auto DJ?

there is a similar function in traktor (its called fade-in/fade-out cue points). my guess is this was added to help automating the process (vs the hands-on type of users).

It would be pretty nice to have an "align cue-points" function that allows you to select a cue-point on deck X, and then another cue point on deck Y, and have Deck Y shifted into alignment with deck X immediately (not waiting for the first cue to hit).

That would be useful outside of AutoDJ: say if you have queue points set at the drops in two tracks, and deck A is playing, B is stopped and faded out. Press play on B, match tempos, press "align cue points" (button in mixer section?), then press your cue on deck A (it doesn't trigger), then press on the deck B cue. You can mix into it B, knowing that it's perfectly phrase matched, and that the drop will hit exactly when A's build-up finishes.

Obviously not useful in all cases, and super cheaty, but it would make for some really easy punchy mixing.

Ah I understand, so this is no duplicaze, right?

It sounds for me that this is also no property of a single track, right? Isn't I more a property if the transition, unique fir each track pair?

Or will an alignment cue from one deck fit to a number of following tracks?

Yes, this affects two tracks, the first one having the fade-out cue and the second with the fade-in cue point.
