Song analysis begins when you press the DJ-707M's [SELECT] knob to load
a song into a deck, but if you're using Serato DJ Pro as an offline player (i.e.,
without the DJ-707M being connected), you can analyze songs ahead of

If analysis is finished for a song, the BPM and waveform are displayed
immediately after you load that song into a deck.
For details on how to analyze songs with the offline player, refer to the
Serato DJ Pro user manual.
