Main Waveform display

is view provides a close-up view of the track, including color-

coding to show the frequency of the sound; red representing low-

frequency bass sounds, green representing mid-frequency sounds

and blue representing high-frequency treble sounds.

You can also switch to a three-band spectrum view by hold-

ing the crtl key and clicking on the waveform.

Click on the waveform to ‘scrub’ or make ﬁne adjustments

to your position within the track. is applies to int mode only,

and may be useful if you wish to set cue points in your tracks

without your turntables or CD players connected. e Main

Waveform is zoomed around the current position in the track.

Tip: Use the + and – keys to zoom in and out.

In the example below, the red part of the wave represents a

kick drum, while the purple part represents a snare drum.

Beat Matching display

is view shows the position of beats within the track. When

beat matching, this view helps align the downbeats of the two

tracks. e markers are matched up when the two tracks are beat

matched.

Example

e following is a demonstration of using the visual aids to help

beat match. In this example, the track that is playing is on the

left deck, and the track to be mixed in is on the right deck.

1. Start the track playing on the right deck. After a few seconds,

blue peaks appear in the Tempo Matching display.

2. Adjust the pitch of the right turntable until the blue peaks

sit under the orange peaks in the Tempo Matching display.

Once they are aligned, the two tracks have the same tempo.

3. Next align the markers in the Beat Matching display. Watch

the color of the items passing by in the Main Waveform dis-

play. Remember that a kick or bass drum will be red in color,

and a snare drum will be green or blue.

is technique will by no means guarantee perfect mixes, but

may help to speed up the process of beat matching.
