Hey there, got something I thought might be a good discussion to get going...
I just wanted to ask a question to find out (and see what other people thought about it too); what we can expect to see with the effects in future?
I'm mainly talking about the lack of ability to use an effect on deck 3 or 4... I can see currently that when activating the effects it gives the option of deck 1 and deck 2. Is there anything in the pipeline to change these to Activate on Left Deck/ Right Deck? Or something like that... Just a thought.

Personally, I never use effects when mixing. To me, and my way of mixing, I don't even use the EQ knobs. Its more about hitting the right blend between songs, not trying to force the mix....

deck 3 effect 'BeatGrid' active
Not seeing an issue - don't activate effects from the effects browser, do it from the deck controls or VDJScript :)

Also forgot, this is what was said about that area of the skin,
Which I dont agree with, but I not the boss. A drop down window is to cumbersome (for those of us that have more then just the standard effects) and who wants to map everything out, way to much work (assuming you know how to write script), plus most effects have more then 1 or 2 sliders which is mainly my reasoning for activating effects from here.................. :-)
Hope thats clears up that part of it anyways

You will most likely see the 'activation' in the Effects panel disappearing in a future version anyhow. With the multiple activation on a single deck and/or multi-deck access to individual effects - the Effects section is no longer practical as a location for activating sound effects.

Ahh... I'm always on my controller, so I've never used the effects browser.

As above; I always trigger effects via MIDI too.
It is simply impractical and crappy GUI design to add up to 99 activation buttons in the browser lol.
