Yup we used to be able to do this when SDJ first came out, I guess it was a fluke or a bug that they had to fix and now we lost it
What are you talking about? We've never offered a post fader effect option in Serato DJ or Scratch Live for these devices.

If we were to get serato to route the effected audio to aux out, for instance, then the effected audio would be constant as the SL box does not know what the fader is doing. So my cuts wold not be effected it would just be the audio going backwards and forwards with a permanently open fader.
AMO is right - how can you have post fader effects work correctly when you don't know where the fader is? When you apply an echo and take that fader down, the effects engine loops the last section of audio it received and feeds it back.
Regardless of your approach to use a FX loop on the mixer, or a spare channel on the soundcard, the software effects would be applied to a software deck, then the effect signal could be outputted to a separate channel, sure. But the effects engine, nor the software deck knows when you cut your fader on the mixer, so the feedback signal would go forever and feedback new pieces of audio, instead of only feeding back the last section of audio you wanted to echo on, and elegantly fading out aka "the echo out" :)
There are a few potential solutions to this problem even, but the post fader fx feature is not as simple as you imagine it could be.
