hi guys. hoping im just being dense and cant find the setting but im looking to have the aux active when switching modes. i have an emergancy rig hooked into the aux input and sau im switching between computer mode and standalone mode the aux shuts off and i need to reactivate it when the unit has switched. is there a setting im missing to just have te aux always stay active? i love it as a stand alone but sometimes i want to use djay for the realtime stems and crossfader effects as well as the stems crossfader functions if im playing an edm section of the night. i play general party, chart , cheese and club stuff all in one night. i just want aux as a source when switching. is this wishfull thinking or doable? at the min it cuts out and only when its activated the new mode can i then press the on button and get sound again.
thanks everyone

Hi, no unfortunately it will always drop slightly when doing that.
An external sub mixer is the only fail safe way to switch.
