3. PERFORMING YOUR FIRST MIX OF 2 SONGS

Now let’s perform our first DJ mix of two songs by synchronizing the BPM’s (Beats Per

Minute) and use the Crossfader to do a volume fade between the two songs. Before you

start, make sure your EQ knobs are set in the middle, your EFFECTS are turned off, LOOPS

are not engaged and your CROSSFADER is set to one side.

STEP ONE

Wait for the connected USB Mass Storage Device to finish analyzing. Depending on size of

collection, this can take a while, so it might be best to load a drive with a few songs to start out with

until you get the hang of things. We have also included demo content on the unit to test with for

your convenience. Songs are analyzed at 1/5 real time, so a large collection may take a day or two

to finish analyzing.

Next, press the

BROWSE button to go into the BROWSE screen. Load the selected songs

to your playback decks (virtual turntables) by using the

NAVIGATION WHEEL to select

your songs, then press the

LOAD A soft button, located on the bottom of the screen for your

selected songs. Press

BROWSE again and repeat for side B (Note: by default, your unit

will go to the HOME screen upon song load. Press the BROWSE button again to

re-enter your song library.)
