AutoMix

Start and sequence

Select a playlist and enable AUTO. With empty decks, the first playable song starts in list order, even with shuffle enabled. Subsequent songs follow sequence or shuffle. Each shuffle cycle visits every entry before reshuffling, and the playlist loops continuously.

Selecting a playlist prepares analyses and adjacent transitions in the background, including the last-to-first handoff. Tracks added during an import join the queue at a later handoff.

How transitions are chosen

Mixless compares entry and exit regions using local tempo, phrase boundaries, key compatibility, energy, rhythm, and vocal evidence. Prepared stems and note analysis add information about foreground material and harmonic movement.

Technique	Musical purpose
Phrase blend	Align phrases and gradually exchange space between two playing tracks
Bass swap	Hand the low end from one track to the other during an overlap
Drop cut	Resolve an identified build-up into the next track's drop or chorus
Echo or filter exit	Shape the outgoing track around the handoff
Structural cut	Switch at an appropriate boundary when an overlap is unsuitable

Transition length follows the music. A suitable pair can use a long layered blend; a structural cut can be instantaneous. A Drop Cut requires evidence of a real build-up ending and a suitable incoming section. Not every pair should use the same technique.

Analysis is an estimate. Uncertain beat grids, dense vocals, or incompatible structure can lead to a conservative handoff. Listen to unfamiliar pairs before relying on them in a set.

Set your boundaries

Hold Shift (or click the deck's SHIFT control) and choose a saved hot cue to assign its role:

• AUTO: a normal cue, available as a soft anchor.
• IN: a required incoming mix point.
• OUT: a required outgoing mix point.

Changing the role keeps the cue's saved position. Manual IN/OUT cues are hard constraints; an impossible window is reported instead of silently ignored. Analysis fills unused pads without replacing manual edits.

Follow the handoff

The transition strip shows the selected windows, countdown or progress, technique, and incoming controls. Corresponding regions are highlighted on the waveforms.

The idle deck is prepared with its cue, tempo, key lock, EQ, and a closed level. During the handoff, AutoMix can drive transport, filter, EQ, channel faders, crossfader, selected effects, and stem levels.

Take control

PAUSE, RESUME, and SKIP are available while a plan runs. Adjusting a fader, EQ, or filter takes over that lane only. Loading a track manually takes over from AutoMix.

AutoMix can add temporary gain during a sustained overlap that loses energy. The deck's AUTO +… display shows this compensation; manual changes take control and compensation returns to zero after the mix.
