As the track on Deck A is nearing its end, start moving the cross fader to the right towards Deck
B: the more you move it to the right, the more of Deck B will be heard in the mix. When you're
ready to start playback, press the Play/Pause button on Deck B to start playing the track from the
cue point where you had paused it. You can adjust the EQ knobs on Deck B to fine-tune the
equalization, or press one of the Kill buttons to cut out the corresponding frequency band on the
deck for an interesting transition effect (just press the Kill button again to restore the frequency in
question). Continue moving the cross fader until it's all the way to the right, at which point only
the track playing on Deck A will be heard in your mix. You can use the Volume slider on Deck B
to adjust the track's volume if necessary, so that it is at the same level as the track that had been
playing on Deck A.
Now that the track on Deck B is playing, you may want to return it to its original pitch if the pitch
has been altered to match what had been playing on Deck A. To do so, you can either press the
Reset button on Deck B, or slowly move the Pitch slider to adjust it to its normal level.
Feel like saying something to your audience over the music? Press the Mic On/Off button on
your Rmx to toggle the microphone on and address the crowd: the music level is automatically
reduced so that your voice can be heard. Use the Volume knob next to the microphone input on
the top face of your Rmx to adjust the microphone volume. When you're done talking, press the
Mic On/Off button again to switch off your microphone and restore the music to full volume.
Have fun experimenting with some of the effects that are available on buttons 1-6: loop in, loop
out, pitch bend, flanger, beatgrid and so on. You'll be amazed at some of the incredible sounds
you can easily produce, customize and manipulate. You can even modulate the effect by turning
the jog wheel while keeping the effect button pressed down. Pressing buttons 1-6 toggles the
corresponding effect on or off.
Let's assume that you have a turntable connected to inputs 1-2 for Deck A. First of all, make sure
that the Line-Phono switch on the back of your Rmx for inputs 1-2 is set the Phono position.
While the music on Deck B is playing, press the Cue Select button on Deck A: this means that
Deck A is now monitored on your headphones. Next, press the Source 1 button on your Rmx (for
Deck A): this switches from the default computer streaming mode to your external audio source
connected to that deck.
Start playback on your turntable and adjust the level using the Gain knob on Deck A, which
allows you to set the overall level to match that of the track playing on the other deck. Once the
overall level has been set, you can use the Volume slider for the deck to make more precise
adjustments. Cue up your record to the spot where you want playback to start.
As the music playing on Deck B is nearing its end, start moving the cross fader to the left and
then launch playback on your turntable when you want to start making the switch. Adjust the EQ
on Deck A as you continue to move the cross fader, until it is completely to the left and your
audience only hears what is playing on the turntable on Deck A.
Congratulations: you’ve just done your first mix! As you practice and get to know both your DJ
Console Rmx and the VirtualDJ software better, you'll see just how versatile this mixing system is
and how much freedom it gives you to take your music to places you've only dreamed about. As
you continue to learn how everything functions and try out different approaches, you'll soon get
the hang of mixing and find ways of working that are right for you. After all, you're the DJ, and the
audience is in your hands!
