  • How do I move to next song but not play it until I’m ready?

Hello everyone,
I’ve tried to find the answer to this but no joy. My question is: how do I get Stagetraxx to move to the next song on the playlist but not play it until I tell it to? I use a Bluetooth pedal to command it.
This gives me a chance to chat to the audience and then press play….I’m sure it’s straightforward but I can’t see what to do!

    richie2uk sounds like you have autoplay engaged so turn that off. Then you can either set a footswitch to next song and one for play. Or select autoload next song in playback settings which will automatically load the next song and then set a footswitch to play.

        Lishy thanks, but I tried this and it loads next song and starts to play! What I’m looking for is for it to load it and await my footswitch command to play.

              richie2uk yes I understand that. Do you have autoplay engaged?

                If you mean the button in top right hand corner which you can toggle on and off then no. I also messed around in settings with it but to no avail. Play back settings has a toggle for autoload next song, but this allows the song to play when it is queued up

                  richie2uk no autoload just loads the song, it doesn’t automatically play it. Are you playing songs from a setlist as there’s another autoplay tab on the top right that you might have engaged?

                    richie2uk You either have autoplay on a single song selected or autoplay on a playlist or on the queue. In any case, without autoplay ST3 will not start playback of the next song and always wait for you to manually start it.

                      I just looked. When the auto play button is not engaged ie it’s white, the song plays and then stops at the end. It doesn’t move to the next song in the playlist.
                      When I select the auto play button ( turns blue) it plays and then goes to the next song in the playlist, BUT begins to play it with no command from me to do so?

                      This is my problem.

                      Clearly, I’m missing something here.

                        richie2uk that’s because autoplay does exactly what it says on the tin, it automatically plays the next song. As I’ve said previously, you need to turn autoplay off and turn autoload next song on in playback settings.

                          Aha! The penny has dropped, all is working now thanks a million all!
