Hey everyone, I just got my vci-300 3 days ago, and have been totally impressed with it's functionality. My question is in regards to the cue in & out points.
You can currently load 2 tracks and make cue points for each one. Is it possible to leave the cue points playing when loading a new song onto the same deck? or will it simply cancel it out automatically in order to load that new songs cue points? It'd really help out when loading a 3rd track into the mix.

Hi there,

You can only have 2 tracks loaded at any time, meaning that when you load another one, it will replace the cues and loops on that deck with the ones of the new track, as you say in your post. You can't have 3 tracks playing at one time on ITCH, only 2, unless you have a third source coming from Ableton LIVE for example, with the same BPM value of the mix. In this case, you need to select the VCI as a soundcard on Live's preferences, and then bring it in slowly as the sound will come out on the main mix right away.
