I know I can setup cue marks and create loops. I know I can also record a specific mix and then play that back later for a "hands off" mix.
My question is:
Sometimes I want to play a song an extend the intro while making a brief announcement at the party. Right now I hover over the controls, get the mix ready, start the loop, and then fade in.
Is there anyway to pre-set a song to automatically go into a Cue Loop when it is selected?

If I understand correctly what you want try to map a keyboard key like this:
deck 1 load & goto_cue 1 & loop & play & sync
You can remove the sync part if you don't want aito sync and you can remove the play part if you don't want auto play
deck 1 load & goto_cue 1 & loop & play & sync
You can remove the sync part if you don't want aito sync and you can remove the play part if you don't want auto play

Hrmm... yeah I guess so. I didn't know you could do that. So assuming I setup my cue points on my songs I can queue it up on the other deck and then hit the keyboard shortcut to start it doing the above?

The above code will do several things at once:
1. Load the selected track on deck 1
2. Go to the first cue-point
3. Activate loop mode
4. Start the deck
5. Sync the deck with the other deck
From your second post it seems that you only need to map a button as:
loop & play
This command will:
1) Activate loop mode
2) Start the deck
1. Load the selected track on deck 1
2. Go to the first cue-point
3. Activate loop mode
4. Start the deck

I believe that's accurate.
So if I understand properly..... I can put the song on the Deck. Then press the key button and it will load up Cue Point 1 and start looping to it?
That sounds like exactly what I want to do... I'll give it a try.

Actually now that I look at VDJ I think the original is more in line of what I want to do, which is:
I'll manually load a song on the deck.
Press a key and have it:
1) Go to Cue Point 1, activate a certain loop, and start playing.
What I really wish I could do:
Program songs to automatically start at a certain loop length (1,2,4,8, etc) and come in at a cue. It would just make life a little easier.... but it seems like I can't, so I'll go with what I have.
