I'm trying to understand how VDJ elects the deck on which recommendations (livefeedback), instant filters, etc.
When only one deck is playing, that's clear, but when playing both, or when moving from one to another with faders (I keep crossfader at middle most of the time), nothing changes (?).
I would like that my instant filters react to the deck changing after transition. Is there a way to do that?
Thanks

It's most likely based on which deck is selected as the master deck (I know at least that quick filters that are relative to a specific track's properties are dependent on the master deck).
The master deck is normally selected automatically (e.g. changing with complete crossfade to one specific audible deck) but it can be overriden by vdjscript (see masterdeck and masterdeck_auto) - you'll probably want to include usage of one or both of those verbs to get the behavior you want. Also, on the default skin, clicking on the master deck highlight area for a specific deck causes it to be the master deck (overriding the auto functionality), so that might be the fastest way to get the instant filters behavior you want. Right-clicking restores the auto functionality.
However, refreshing of instant filter results isn't always instant, most likely for performance reasons (there was another recent thread about this) - and you might also have to deactivate and reactivate the instant filter to see updated results, either manually or through vdjscript actions.
