I’ve been using TRAKTOR PRO for almost 30 years and would like to see the familiar FADE IN / OUT – CUE assignment options in VDJ 2026 and subsequent versions as well.
Background (Cruise Mode function in Native Instruments Traktor Pro):
In TRAKTOR PRO, you can set CUE points and assign a command to these points (e.g. FADE IN or FADE OUT).
As a result, when playing a playlist, once a FADE OUT point is reached in the first player, the second track automatically starts at the FADE IN point – regardless of which deck the track is loaded into.
So far, unfortunately, I haven’t been able to find a solution to this problem via VDJscript (not even with the help of AI).
At least, for Track 1 located in Deck 1, I’ve managed to get the track to start automatically in Deck 2 using the command CUE / ACTION = deck 2 play.
However, if I now load Track 1 into Deck 2, the command naturally has no effect.
The AI had suggested this VDJscript command: deck active play
Unfortunately, this does absolutely nothing.
A general question about VDJscript.
Are there any relevant options to check in the settings, such as VDJscript ON / OFF or any other important settings?
Perhaps someone here can help me.
Thanks in advance.
Best Regards DjUwe (Germany)

Yeah it's entirely possible, nothing in settings, just specific verbs
I do script solutions and 1:1 tuition as a service but only with licenced users,
so unless you're on a home user alt account you'll have to pick bits of the various lessons I've published.
script school index
There's a mountain of info in there, what you want is in there somewhere.
A skim read looking for;
set_deck paired with get_deck will be useful, so will repeat_start_fade

Thanks for your feedback, Locodog.
I’ll have a look at it over the next few days and try to get to grips with it all. (I’m 65 years old)
PS: I’m a licensed VDJPro Infinity user with the latest version (v2026-i b9538),
but I can’t set this in my profile as my DDJ-RZX doesn’t have an OEM.
Best regards

There are a lot of tools that you can use depending on what EXACTLY you want to achieve.
The first thing to try, would be to edit the automix points created by VirtualDJ automatically, and then use automix to mix the list.
Another way to go would be to use the "mix_now" and "mix_now_nosync" verbs on the "fade out" position, while the "fade in" would be hotcue 1 (for something automated)
Finally, a universal script that starts the "next" deck is quite easy to construct once you realize how VDJ Script works:
action_deck 1 ? deck right play : action_deck 2 ? deck left play : action_deck 3 ? deck right play : action_deck 4 ? deck left play : nothing
This is a script that will start the "next/opposite" deck. You can use it in conjunction with other scripts and you can pretty much automate an entire mix
