Program To Make Dj Intro Using Mixxx

Hey gang.
I'm new to the app. I have been using the trial of Serato DJ, waiting for my DDJ-SX to arrive.
I have a question, please don't flame me though.
I'm a hobbyist DJ and usually only DJ for friends and family. At those parties in the past, I've utilized the AutoDJ features in Mixxx to give me a break from DJ'ing while at these parties (visiting with friends, eating, drinking, etc). The AutoDJ feature in Mixxx is nice. I can build a list of songs in the interface, then enable AutoDJ and and a fade time and it does some poor man mixing for me while taking a break.
I don't see (or I am missing) how I would do this with Serato DJ. I see the autoplay feature but it doesn't seem to do any sort of fading between songs or alternating between decks. It just waits for a song to end, loads another in the deck, starts the play, pretty rough transitions as you can imagine.
Right now I'm just using iTunes for this feature, using a smart playlist and turning on the fading feature in iTunes but I would prefer to do this with Serato DJ (being that I just spent a ton of cash on this setup).
Am I missing something here or can you guys offer any suggestions?

Nov 23, 2014 Today we use Mixxx DJ Software to show you an easy way to make a DJ Mix. This video will change the way you entertain at your next party!! Sep 12, 2017 This feature is not available right now. Please try again later.

I've just had my Numark DJ2GO 2 through the post from Amazon and set it up with my MacBook.

Dj Intro Drops

It works fine with 'Serato DJ Intro' but I would like to use it with Mixxx. The previous version of DJ2GO worked well with Mixxx but I can't get the DJ2GO 2 to be recognised by Mixxx. It starts 'MIDI learn mode' (or whatever it is correctly called) but doesn't see any MIDI commands from the Numark DJ2GO 2.Drops
The DJ2GO 2 also doesn't light up.

Custom Dj Intro

IntroI vaguely recall that some controllers that work with supplied software need to be 'toggled' to work with Mixxx but as this hasn't been an issue with the original DJ2GO I haven't been that interested in this matter until now.

Dj Intro Sound


In hardware terms, the DJ2GO 2 is actually quite nice and good for the price with a built in twin stereo channel sound card (stereo main and stereo headphones) but very limited with Serato DJ Intro. It would be great with Mixxx so I hope someone can point me in the right direction.
