Tema: Whos stuffed up using clone deck?

Because I'm so uncoordinated with scratching on my left deck I always tend to use the right deck only and just clone the song across to the left deck so I can keep using my right deck for scratching/mixing etc. Don't ask me why but sometimes when I randomly do this after I press the clone deck it goes into complete silence. This shit has happened to me a handful of times lol.

I know clone deck uses the active deck to clone so somewhere along the line I'm switching active deck and getting myself confused. I'm thinkn maybe the development team can implement a clone_deck_safe mode which prompts you if a song is playing on the deck being copied to for people like me!

Anyone else had this issue? Is there a workaround with scripting?

it happens to me to once in a while. i always just figured it had to do with certain files cause it seems to do it with the same files. try reloading that file after shutting down VDJ see if you get the same result.

If you're *always* doing it one way then change the mapping to be something like:

deck 2 clone_deck 1

This shortcut will always clone deck 2 onto deck 1.

Haven't tested this but to add to Scott's suggestion:

 "deck 1 play ? nothing : deck 2 clone_deck 1" 


This should check if deck 1 is playing, if it is- the button does nothing. If it isn't playing the track on deck 2 will clone to deck 1.

Can confirm I also had this so now have 2 separate buttons for deck1 to deck2, and another for deck2 to deck1 setup like SBDJ suggests. I never figured out why it didnt seem to work occasionally using active deck.
