Call me stupid, but it has happened to me a few times that i have accidentally used the play/pause button on a song that was playing (yes, to the ears of a 300-man audience).
How come? Simple: i was looping a really nice loop, and instead of clicking the appropriate button to un-loop it, i had the intuition to hit the play/pause button. I thought: i want to go from loop-mode to regular play-mode, so what is more logical than hitting 'play/pause'?!
Wrong, of course, instead of going to regular play, it goes to a pause.
Any ideas on how to prevent this?
Through the skin, shortcuts, ....
Or do i just simply have to be (even) more alert when performing?!

PS: did i mention i LOVE the 2.1 version?!!!!!!!
No?
Well, i must say: i LOVE 2.1 !!!

The solution is to get used to using the shortcuts for the loops, so you don't mess with other controls.

The WORST is when you are doing a live recording and screw up majorly right at the end of the mix !

dj-ing is all about experience... I can tell you are a rookie dj... If you are an experienced dj, you can find the unloop button with your eyes closed controlling the mouse with your feet. PRACTICE!
p.s. i am a rookie dj too, but i'm working on it

Sure, I *AM* kind of a rookie.
Especially with all the great new features in atomix, I agree that with time I will not make this mistake anymore. It's mostly a matter of getting used to all the controls.
Still, it would be nice if someone came up with an idea to make atomix "fool-proof" in this regard. I mean: accidentally hitting the pause-button.

hey i'm suprised nobody mentioned this, but you can of course customise your shortcuts... eg. change the loop shortcuts
