Topic: Can I cue a stop/pause point?
Couldn't find an answer in this forum nor on any Youtube videos, but I was wondering if there's a way to set an automatic stop or pause point so I don't have to hit Play/Pause manually once that specific point is reached. For example, maybe somehow setting Cue 8 to perform a stop/pause function once it's hit as the track naturally progresses. Thanks.

Sometimes, with the way I mix, and the way I want it to sound, I need both hands to control the EQs of the other deck (I map the use of five knobs, not just the regular three). Just wondering if there was a way to set an automatic stop point of the outgoing track so I'm not awkwardly trying to stop it manually or trying to quickly turn the volume down. May sound strange, but there is a method to my madness.
Thanks for the link, I'll go and take a look.
 

By using action POIs you can even script effects like echo out if you wish.. Making it even more interesting.
However, you must be sure that you ALWAYS want the song to behave the same at the same point.
 

And a Tip...
In case you go that way and take time to manually set and assign those POIs to either stop/pause or even enable some FX, it is strongly advised to use some variable/switcher so that you can globally enable/disable this feature.
So the Action POI could be .. var '$MyMixStyle' ? pause : nothing or var '$MyMixStyle' ? effect_active 'Echo Out' : nothing
then have some skin/keyboard/controller button mapped as .. toggle '$MyMixStyle' and enable/disable this automation.
If enabled (variable set to 1/on/true), then all the Tracks with Action POIs as the above will execute the assigned action when reaching this POI.
