Thanks for posting the video.

I have only used the jukebox a couple of times live but I find that rather than use the xx seconds delay feature it is much more flexible to use no delay but select the option "pause until midi or key received" under preferences. The next song then loads instantly (when frozen) and the song starts with no delay as soon as I touch my keyboard, or you can use a footswitch programmed with spacebar. This means that I have complete manual control over the length of the delay and can vary the length of my introduction. I also never use lead-in bars, it is more impressive to start the song instantly either as I finish talking or immediately after the last one finishes depending on the effect I want. I sometimes like to announce a medley of similar songs and have then merge almost seamlessly from one to the other. People seem to like the rapid change in style and tempo between songs.

If you have ever seen my other comments and wishlist posts about the Jukebox you will know that my big problem with it is that if ever you deliberately or inadvertently stop Jukebox there is no way to restart it from the same place in the sequence of songs. This makes me appear very amateurish during a live performance. The RealBand version is different and allows you to restart where you left off. Do you have a way round this problem?
