You will hear the cued track in your headphones.
Adjusting the balance between the cued track and main mix
For a great mix, you need to sync the affected Decks, match their levels and make sure that
the result sounds good. Use the Cue controls to adjust the balance between the cued track (in
this case Deck B) and the main mix (in this case Deck A) in your headphones:
►
Turn the CUE MIX knob counterclockwise when you want to concentrate on the cued
track; turn it clockwise when you want to hear more of the main mix.
→
You are now ready to work on the track playing on Deck B without interfering with the
main mix sent to your audience.
Regardless of the mix that you’re hearing in your headphones, the main mix is still controlled
by the Crossfader and channel faders.
For smooth transitions, set the CUE MIX to the center position and adjust the cued
Deck's GAIN knob so that both sound equally loud.
2.5.4 Synchronizing the Second Track
Before mixing in the track playing on Deck B, we will use TRAKTOR’s automatic Sync feature

cally assigned the role of Tempo MASTER. To sync Deck B to it:
