However, should you wish to tilt the balance towards the left or right channel, you can use this
knob to do so.
Make sure that the cross fader on your Rmx is set all the way to the left, meeting that only Deck A
will be heard in your mix. Press the Play/Pause button on Deck A of your Rmx to launch playback
on Deck A. At the top of the VirtualDJ window, you'll see a display with blue and red wave forms
represented: the blue waves represent the music loaded on Deck A, while the red waves
represents the music loaded on Deck B.
You will soon come to realize how important this visual display is to the functioning of VirtualDJ.
The peaks on the display represent the beats in the song: by lining up the peaks of the track on
one deck with the peaks of the track on the other deck, you can synchronize the songs with one
another so that they are on the same beat, which makes for a smooth transition between tracks.
Try using the Pitch slider on Deck A to see what it does: you'll notice that increasing the pitch
makes the music sound faster, with a higher tone, whereas decreasing it makes it sounds slower,
with a lower tone. Pressing the Reset button just above the Pitch slider gradually returns the
pitch to its default value.
Pressing the Beat Lock button enables/disables the Master Tempo function for the corresponding
deck. This function effectively locks the tone of a track in place, so that when you move the Pitch
slider, the tempo (i.e. the speed) of the track changes to faster or slower, but the tone stays the
same.
While the music is playing on Deck A, you'll want to be preparing the track on Deck B. Get your
headphones on and then press the Cue Select button on Deck B: this means that Deck B is now
monitored on your headphones (you can only monitor one deck at a time). Use the Monitor
Select knob to adjust what you hear on your headphones: the Cue side of the knob’s rotation
represents the selected deck you are cuing up, while the Mix side represents the mix on Deck A +
Deck B. Use the Volume knob next to the headphone input on the top face of your Rmx to adjust
the volume of your headphones.
Try moving the jog wheel on Deck B: you'll see that you are scratching the track back and forth,
although your audience won't be able to hear it at this point because the cross fader is still all the
way to the left, which means that only the left deck is coming through in your mix. If you press the
Scratch button on your Rmx, the jog wheels switch to the seek function, allowing you to move
quickly within a track. You can also move quickly within a track using the backward and forward
buttons, just above the jog wheel. Press the Scratch button again to return to the default scratch
function.
Use the Pitch slider on Deck B to adjust the song's tempo to match that of the song on Deck A;
alternatively, you can press the Sync button on Deck B match the tempo of the track on that deck
to the one on Deck A. Synchronizing the tempos makes it easier for dancers to maintain a
constant rhythm when switching from one song to another.
As the track on Deck B is playing, press the Play/Pause button on Deck B to pause the track at
the exact point where you wish to start playback: this pauses the song and sets the cue point
there (if you were to press the Stop button instead, the cue point would not be moved to the new
position; instead, it would go back to the track's original cue point, i.e. the start of the song).
