While playing a digital file [song 1] on turntable I I have the second digital file [song 2] queued up on turntable 2. If I want to end Song 1 earlier is there a way to set up VDJ so that as soon as I hit the Cue button to start playing Song 2 it will autofade into the new song? I don't see any Autofade choices like that in Options and I don't want to have the songs on Automix in the holding pen.

fade only .. . or fade and mix?
To mix.. can map a button with the action mix_now for mixing ..
Alternatively mix_now_nosync
Or just to crossfade over: auto_crossfade

How does one map a button?

Either at a keyboard key (or controller), see here:

Or in skin, at the custom buttons
https://virtualdj.com/manuals/virtualdj/interface/decks/decksadvanced/custombuttons.html
And action mix_now or auto_crossfade is same regardless of where you use it

Okay excellent, Rune. I did add/map 2 custom buttons for both decks [dual decks] but those buttons don't activate a auto-mix or an auto fade from one song to another when I hit the cue button.

if its automix you are using try automix_skip instead

The problem is the other song has to be started first. I wanted to set it up so the second song is queued up and stationary and while I'm in the middle of the first song, I can just hit the play button on Song 2 and it automatically fades out of Song 1 and smoothly fades into Song 2. Right now to do this I have to start the other song first then hit autofade button and by that time the song has already passed the beginning cue point.

If I understood you right, just add play to the script on the buttons
auto_crossfade & play
for example
auto_crossfade & play
for example

at the action part yes.. thats the field where you write in the actions you want to do...
In your case: auto_crossfade & play
If I understood correctly what you wanted at least ;-)

Ok so I put that command in the action window but if I hit return it disappears, can you give me the steps or direct me to a video?

sounds like an autocrossfader with faderStart enable and crossfader curve set to smooth

Thats normal, that means you saved the action, and can now use the button you saved to

Ok cool. That worked. One tweak that would make it perfect would be to be able to automatically return the fader to center so that the next song can be queued and mixed normally as once 'autofade and play' is selected you have to manually then return the fader to center for regular mixing operation.
