7. Use Deck B’s pitch slider to match the tempo of the track to the music on
Deck A.
8. When you have matched the tempo, press CUE on Deck B to return and
pause at the cue point.
9. When you are ready to start your mix, press PLAY on Deck B.
10. Use the crossfader to transition from
Deck A to Deck B.
11. As you are transitioning to Deck B with the crossfader, use the
volume sliders, gain and EQ knobs for each channel to adjust
the sound. If the incoming track is starting to drift in time, use
Deck B’s jog wheel to make adjustments to the tempo so Deck
B’s music “locks” with the beat playing on Deck A.
12. When you wish to complete the
transition, move the crossfader all the
way to the right (Deck B). You have
successfully completed a mix! Repeat
the procedure to continue mixing.
As you can see, mixing is not too difficult! Good mixing, however, does take some time to perfect. As you
practice, you will get a better sense of which musical material goes well together and how you can create
smooth transitions between tracks using the volume, EQ and crossfader controls. Do not get discouraged
if your mixes are not sounding professional right away – practice makes perfect!
