c) Headphones commands
(1) Cue/Mix
This setting lets you choose what you play on your headphones.
(a) Cue
Cue for headphones = PFL (Pre-Fader Listening).
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.
- Via software, in DJUCED : a rotary volume button represents the software volume
setting, which is not related to the hardware volume buttons (- / +).
d) EQ commands
DJUCED and DJ Control AIR include a 3-band equalizer per deck:
- Treble, for high frequencies.
- Medium, for medium frequencies.
