- Zoom In/Out: the +/- buttons zoom in or zoom out on the wave.
- Scratch: click on the waveform and move the pointer to scratch with your mouse.
(b) Wave overview
Browse within the track: click on a position of the wave overview to instantly access this position, as
you can do with the small blue dots around the platter (in the DJUCED interface).
(c) Beat marks
The beat marks send no commands: they let you instantly see the beats of the track, and whether they
are synchronized with the beats of the other track.
j) Text information area
(1) Definition
(a) Tag
The tag in a song is text information stored in the audio file, with data such as:
- Song title
- Artist name
- Album name and track number on the album
- Year of release
- BPM rate
(b) BPM
The BPM is the Beats Per Minute rate. This is a measure of the rhythm: it is a key item of information
for DJs, since the BPM rate displays the music’s rhythm. It is therefore the information that the DJ
looks at to play 2 songs at the same speed: the BPM rate tells you how much you must speed up/slow
down a track to reach the appropriate rhythm.
(2) Use
The text area displays:
- The deck letter A for the left deck, B for the right deck.
- The song title (here “After the Final Beat”).
- The artist name (here “Beatmix Mogul 1”).
- The album name (here “Revenge of the Mogul”).
- The track length (here 5:11).
- The BPM rate (here 123.48 BPM).
(3) Commands
The text area lets you edit the BPM. You can manually adjust the BPM if you disagree with the
software’s BPM analysis: click on the BPM zone (displayed vertically, indicated with a red rectangle,
below).
By clicking the BPM zone, you access a menu that lets you edit the track’s BPM.
Go to first beat: if the track is paused or stopped, this button moves to the first beat.
