and maybe have a stop autoplay button in the common interface. so it is easier to switch to manual mode.

Maybe just have the "Mix>" button switch to "Stop Autoplay" after autoplay is on?

Is it possible to have a simple "Start Autoplay" and "Stop Autoplay" button?

What do you mean by "simple"?

This button has two states that clearly indicate an Arrow or a Square like a Play/Pause button...

I globally don't understand the request, compared to the current behavior. Could you please elaborate on it?

I think it is an ergonomical issue. (button not interpreted as designed)

The play/stop marker are in the same size as the font of MIX. For this it looks more like a distance holder to the A/B selector.

I would suggest some like vertical stretching the triangle for mix-play (also to match the deck-play-button) and increase Stop-square slightly to be larger than fontsize.

Sorry you totally lost me in your argumentation. :eek:

It is professional software, used by thousands. How could you expect professional software to function at a 'for dummies' level. :confused:

Of course you need to spend some time to getting used to basic functionality, terminology, GUI, etc. :cool:

For this reason the Cross Free version is there so by the time you invest (which is hardly an investment for professional usage :redface:

) you already know the pro's and con's and basics I would guess. :mrgreen:

Come on, you might not have realized but you ask for a major change. There is more than change the visible text of a button.

We put time in digging into your suggestion by working out the returned suggestion to make a change that has minor impact as no names, tags or GUI is changed.

You had trouble using a basic function for the first time; likely you will never forget it. So if at all it would be changed you're not the one having the benefit of it. Worse case you have to get used to the potential new situation, like all other users.

Further it is just like school, if you don't speak out no one will know and nothing will change untill someone else finally asks the same.
