B. Mixing in DJUCED with DJ Control AIR
1. Preliminary operations
When mixing in front of an audience, you must focus on the music and the audience, so you should
prepare your tracks and audio library in advance:
- Locate all of your songs.
- Analyze the audio library.
- Place cue points in the tracks.
- Create playlists.
a) Locating your songs
If songs are stored in folders located in multiple areas of your drive, you must gather them in the audio
library in advance, so that you can see them instantly while mixing.
It is better to store all songs on the same drive unit, rather than on several drives.
You should avoid mixing with songs stored on USB keys: store the songs on a hard drive before a
public performance, since the access time on USB keys is slower than on hard drives.
b) Analyzing the songs
Once you know where your songs are stored, analyze them (please see the “Right-click menu”
section) to get the BPM values.
In the file browser:
- Select the tracks to be analyzed, using your mouse/pad.
- In Windows: right-click to display the BPM menu.
- On Mac, either right-click, click with 2 fingers, or click+Ctrl to display the BPM menu.
- Then click Analyze.
