DJUCED™ and DJ Control AIR
33
BPM analysis is slow and CPU-intensive, so you must not carry out BPM analysis while mixing during
a public performance, as this would slow down your computer. If you analyze a complete library of
hundreds of songs, you don’t need to remain in front of your computer during the analysis: this can
take hours, depending on how fast your computer is.
You will know that a track has been analyzed when the browser displays its BPM rate.
c) Placing cue points (= bookmarks) in your tracks
Once you have analyzed your tracks, you should load them on the DJUCED decks, play them and
place cue points. You generally need to set at least 1 cue point (or more than 1) per song: the first cue
point is generally placed at the first beat of the song, as a beat is needed to dance. The start of a song
with no beat is not danceable.
Please see the “Cue point area” section.
 Load the track on a deck.
 Play the track.

d) Creating playlists
Once you have seen where your audio files are and have placed cue points in these tracks, you can
gather them in playlists.
A playlist is a way to gather tracks in the same list, even if they are located in different folders.
- Create a playlist by clicking on the button on the left of the folder browser.
- Enter the name for your playlist.
- Drag and drop tracks into the playlist.
