If the crossfader is at the far right side, only the right-assigned decks will be audible in the
Master Output. At any other position, all right- or left-assigned decks will be audible. If a deck
is not assigned as left or right, it will be audible regardless of the crossfader position.
Double-click to bring the crossfader to middle position.
Notes.
- A deck will not be audible on the Master Output if the Volume of the deck is set to the zero
position
- Crossfader should be set in middle position if External Mixer is selected in Audio Setup or can be
disabled from the CrossfaderCurve setting in Options.
Tip: The crossfader behavior (how channels are mixed) can be adjusted from the CrossfaderCurve
setting (see Options) and from the Mixer Options button in the 4 Decks skin.
