I would love to see a global "Stem Echo Out" option in VirtualDJ, similar to the behavior found in djay Pro (Mute FX)
Currently, stem transitions with Echo Out require using STEMS+FX pads or custom mappings. It would be great to have a simple global setting that can be enabled or disabled.
When enabled:
Muting a stem (Vocals, Melody, Bass, Drums, etc.) automatically performs a short Echo Out transition before the stem is removed.
Unmuting a stem behaves normally.
This would make stem performance feel smoother and more musical, so much simpler, especially for live remixing and controller workflows
Thank you for considering this feature.

Outside of custom mapping, this is partially doable with Echo Out for a specific selected stem on a deck's effects:

Or with regular Echo and fxProcessing = Post Fader and using the Stems pad, while selecting a specific stem part to apply it on before enablng the effect (that should work for all post fader allowed effects).
It won't work with auto apply with a stem part removal though with the default Stems+FX pad mode without a mapping change (I think I reported something similar for the S11 (smooth echo use) a while ago but this is more generalized here).

Yes, I've already mapped FX Select and Echo Out to specific stem parts, but it's a real pain to use.
For example, if I want to Echo Out the Vocal, Instruments, and Bass at different points in a mix, I currently have to do the following:
**Vocal:**
1. Select FX Send to Vocal
2. Press Echo Out
3. Mute Vocal (I have to mute it before selecting another stem, otherwise the next selected stem will be muted instantly with no Echo Out )
4. Deactivate Echo Out
5. Deselect FX send from Vocal
**Now Instruments:**
1. Select FX Send to Instruments
2. Press Echo Out
3. Mute Instruments
4. Deactivate Echo Out
5. Deselect FX send from Instru
**Bass:**
1. Select FX Send to Bass
2. Press Echo Out
That’s 12 button presses just to Echo Out 3 stem parts individually.
I often mess up during gigs which gets really frustrating in a live situation.
