Automix feature request: "No mix" option (play track to end, start next from 00:00)
Hi everyone,
I've been DJing salsa and bachata socials for several years, first with djay Pro and now with rekordbox. There's one Automix feature I really miss, and I think many social dance DJs would benefit from it.
The problem:
rekordbox Automix always tries to mix the ending track into the next one. At salsa, bachata, kizomba and tango socials, dancers need a clear gap between songs. When one song clearly ends and the next clearly begins, couples can decide whether to keep dancing or thank their partner and find someone new. Mixing tracks together removes that cue.
The request:
An Automix setting with no mixing at all:
1. The current track plays until it has completely ended.
2. The next track then starts from 00:00.
3. Optionally, a configurable start offset (e.g. start 2 seconds into the next track) to skip silent intros.
djay Pro already offers this, and it's the main reason I used their Automix for social events.
If you DJ socials, weddings or other non-club events and would use this too, please upvote and share your use case below so the rekordbox team can see the demand.
Setup: rekordbox 7.2.19 on macOS 26.6.2
Thanks!
Diego
