As the mic input on VDJ 8 has no EQ or effects available, I am considering using a 'hidden' third deck in a skin to enable the mic (as a line in) to route through it so that I can have "mic EQ" and "mic FX" on the skin.
I've seen this being done with decks that are visible on the skin, but is it possible to set this up so it happens "behind the scenes" as a workaround?

Of course.
Best probably to set up a panel that be accessed in some way so that FX and EQ etc can be adjusted and then have your two buttons visible somewhere on the skin.
As a rule if it can be done whilst visible it can also be done whilst invisible.

One thing, if the skin is a 2 deck skin to do stuff on a 3rd invisible deck you have to load a track on it to make it exist.
So onint "deck 3 load "C:\ThisDoesntHaveToBeARealTrack" & deck 3 unload"
Or you could make it a 3 deck skin

Really? I can't just have an oninit to turn on lineine for "invisideck"?
I assumed that I'd have to specify nbdecks="3" but just not have a 3rd deck on the GUI - just state deck="3" for any EQ and FX and have those controls visible.

News to me if you do - but i haven't tried the setup you are aiming for.

You don't need to set the nbdecks if this is a V8 skin.
V8 only reads this information to display in the config menu - it actually doesn't do anything otherwise.

So you've said before - but it did cause me an issue with the Controller by Dennyo skin. :-)

In your scenario i don't think it will cause any issues.
The key with it is - if you omit it altogether, it shouldn't have any effect on the skin or its workings.
However - if you include it and have it set to 2 on a 4 deck skin then it will cause problems, like wise having it set to 4 on a 2 deck skin can cause issues.

Just a small correction here:
It is still recommended to correctly set nbdecks on a v8 skin, it does do more than just the value shown in config.
It is true that it is not as important anymore as in v7, since loading a track on a non-initialized deck will make it available.
The original issue with 'deck 3 linein' not working when no 3 decks had been initialized will be fixed.

Loco means effects such as maschine.effects that have a sequencer and need to sync to a loaded track,will load a track on that deck when you press play to start the effects sequence...but I would imagine that could be all invisible except cues and loops on the track are mapped and played but audio replaced by the plugins audio,so its good to double check the track by turning off the effect to show the track.but I know you guys know this ;)
