Hi, I've just downloaded the trial of Virtual DJ and really like it so far. However one thing I would really like is to be able to specify fixed length gaps between tracks, as it is preferred to have breaks of say 2 seconds between tracks where I will be DJing. I've found the first of the options Fade(silence) which does a great job of ignoring any dead air at the end of the track and gets me half way there. But it uses a crossfade which has to be set to length 0 to stop it fading and then the next track starts immediately. Is there anyway of specifying a gap length or manipulating the options to achieve the same effect?

one method would be to create a two second "Air" mp3 using a program such as audacity and draging that between tracks in your playlist (asuming your using a playlist with automix)
if this is what your doing i'll do you one and upload it to my webby in a bit (Dropping the kids off!)

Yes that would be quite a roundabout way of doing it I guess! I think I can get by with 0 second cut transitions though. Are there any plans to add this kind of option or can anyone suggest some other DJ software which allows it?

It seems like you want a jukebox program. VirtualDJ is a professional DJ tool that has many functions, but it's designed to work manually. If you only want a playlist with 2 seconds pause, i would download Winamp. It's a setting in Winamp that let's you have 2 sec pause I think. :)

Yes possibly. The two main features I did want that seemed more DJ software related than jukebox were auto normalisation and removing dead air from tracks and there could potentially be others like modifying pitch. I don't particularly want to post process all of my tracks in this way as I figured something could do it on the fly (as VDJ is doing nicely). I'm not sure if somethuing simpler would be able to do this?
