For example, the waveform below shows: - Small yellow waves = short high tones, such as the sound of a triangle. - Larger red waves = lower frequencies, such as a bass guitar. (b) Wave overview The wave overview shows the entire length of the track as a waveform. (c) Beat marks The beat marks are triangles showing the beats: they are displayed separate from the waveform. If the tracks are synchronized, the background of the beat area becomes blue. (d) Beat grid The beat grid is a grid of vertical white lines showing the beats over the waveform. You can choose what to play on your headphones: · The preview = next track (the music you will be playing for your audience); or · The mix = the music you are currently playing for your audience. The preview is also called Cue for headphones, but this Cue is not related to the Cue points. - Cue points are bookmarks that you place in an audio track. - Cueing on headphones is previewing a track for the DJ's ears only, before the DJ plays this track for the audience. You preview deck A and/or B, depending on which deck you have selected. o In DJUCED: select the deck to preview over the volume faders . o On DJ Control AIR: select the deck to preview over volume faders The Preview volume of each deck is not linked to the volume set on the volume fader. (b) Mix The Mix position for headphones means that the DJ hears the same audio track on the headphones as what is being played on the dance floor. On DJ Control AIR, you can control what you are playing on your headphones: - The cue = the preview: the Cue button on the front panel is backlit. - The mix = the same music as what is being played for the audience. (2) Headphones output volume The headphones output volume is controlled: Via hardware, using the DJ Control AIR's front buttons (- / +) : the - / + buttons on the DJ Control AIR's front panel set the volume of the headphones preamplifier.
