Topic: Is there a way to get a specific song to play in the background when you hit talkover?
I'd like to be able to set Virtual DJ so that it plays a certain song when I click talkover button in the skin I use. I use the Project X skin ... thanks for any help you guys can give me!!!

Yes, there are several ways - including using a sample as the song

But the easiest is probably to do a script that
- loads the track you want into deck 3 if it's not already there (or deck 5 or 7 if you are using 4 or 6 deck setup)
- lowers the volume on channel 1 and 2 as the ducking while the button is pressed (and channel 3, 4, 5 and 6 if you are using 4 or 6 channel setup)
- turn the volume on channel 3 all the way up (or deck 5 or 7)
- plays the track on deck 3 while the button is pressed (or deck 5 or 7)

So something like this in 2 channel mode (where there is a full path to the track you want to play in deck 3):

deck 3 load "C:\privat\Grab\Vari\The greatest of the 80's\Rick Astley - 02 - never gonna give you up.mp3" && deck 1 volume 25% while_pressed && deck 2 volume 25% while_pressed && deck 3 volume 100% while_pressed & deck 3 play while_pressed

The script can be put anywhere like on a custom key or a keyboard key, but also directly in the skin if you edit it

thanks so much!!! here's the final custom button script, and it seems to work ... I'll be trying it out on the air tonght ...

deck 3 load "D:\Music\yt1s.com - EMIRATES BOARDING SONG 2012.mp3" && deck 1 volume 25% while_pressed && deck 2 volume 25% while_pressed && deck 3 volume 60% while_pressed && deck 3 play while_pressed && mic while_pressed &

thanks again without your help I'd have been digging through the scripting tutorials for days.
