Seems there is a lot of confusion about the Virtual DJ 5.0 new Automix-function. Virtual DJ now anyhow supports both Auto-mix and Auto-crossfade.

AUTOMIX SHORTCUT
Here's some info how to create a Auto-crossfade shortcut, thanks to

Here is the text from the future FULL User Guide for V5 --
Shortcut Macro
A shortcut macro is the process of assigning multiple actions to the same key or key combination. The power of the macro comes from the
order they are listed. So open the Configuration dialog and select the Keyboard Shortcuts tab.
Here is an example of a highly request macro that provides a ‘Mix Now’ capability.
The actions to be used are auto_crossfade, play, and select and assigned to the Space bar for activation.
- auto_crossfade – moves the crossfader
- play – activates the play of the track
- select – changes which deck is now the active deck
To build the macro, add the auto_crossfade action first. Select the Add button to get the action dialog. Hit the ‘Space’ bar to add that to the
Key section. Choose the ‘all’ in the left list, then ‘auto_crossfade’ from the middle list. Use the drop-down and select ‘on active deck’. Then
click OK.
Repeat this process for ‘play’ and ‘select’ and be sure to choose the ‘on active deck’ from the drop-down option. The ‘play’ and ‘select’
options can be found in the ‘deck controls’ option of the left list.
Now once OK is click for adding each of those actions, VirtualDJ will provide a dialog that states ‘This shortcut is already assigned. Click Yes
to add the new shortcut and build up macros. Click No to replace the previous shortcut.’ Click ‘Yes’ to build up the macro.
And once each item is added, click ‘OK’ at the bottom of the Configuration dialog and test shortcut.
In this example the ‘Space’ bar was used and is not the required key in order to make it work. Any key or key combination can be used as
long as all actions are assigned to that key. Also, remember the power is in the order of the actions. If this macro is configured in a different
order the results of functionality can differ.

Thank you for reposting this but the Manual and the info I posted in the AutoMix Shortcut thread is the same info - maybe slightly worded different (I wrote them both)

I've noticed that there's a lot of confusion about the Automix and Autocrossfade-function. That means that a lot of people are still searching for information about it. That's why I reposted it. I hope it's ok with you. I also mentioned in the message that it is your information and added the link to find out more about it. Thanx for the information, it helped me a lot.

DJ Staff,
Can this topic please be closed and removed on this forum. It is already been posted to another forum. To avoid confusing closing and removing the topic on this forum would be appreciated (also by me). The problem has been solved also.
