This is not a bug but a simple wishlist feature.

Sometimes (mostly during live radio sessions) it is very usual to seek for a track in maximized library mode. In this case it would be very helpful to have the talk microphone button visible somewhere on the screen for immediate access. In the tango skin, for example, it could appear on the ribbon above the deck waveforms where the master volume e.t.c. is located. Also the other skins have plenty of room for this small button to be located.

Thanks !

Yes, we could add Talk/Play buttons for all configured Mic/Aux inputs to the toolbar.

Apart from that are other ways to solve this:

• add a keyboard binding to [MicrophoneN],talkover
• create a dedicated radio skin
• minimize LateNight in 2.3:
  • hide waveforms
  • pick 'minimal decks' in regular view
  • hide all extra section except Mic/Aux
    (see attached screenshot with LateNight at minimal size)

Re keyboard shortcuts: talkover is already included in the default mapping

Thanks!!
I don't use the Latenight skin so I didn't realize that it can be done..
It would be nice if it was available in the other skins too..

Thanks again.
