away from the hot cue, the color shifts back to the original color

of the track is reached to notify that the end of the track is
approaching.
l Tempo match display
This indicates the tempo of the tracks on decks (A) and (B) by mea-
sure, and is designed to help you match the tempo.
The red waveform indicates the tempo of the track in deck A (1), the
orange waveform the tempo of the track in deck B (2). When the tem-
pos of the tracks in the two decks match, the positions of the peaks of
the red and orange waveforms match.
! Even if the beat is not synchronized, the positions of the peaks of
the waveforms on the display match when the tempos of the left
and right tracks match.
m Beat match display
This view shows the position of beats within the track. When the
peaks shown in this window are aligned, the two tracks' beats are
matched.
The beat match display indicates the beat positions of the tracks
currently playing on decks (A) and (B) and is designed to help you
match the beat. When the beats of the tracks on decks (A) and (B)
match, the positions of the peaks of the waveforms at the top and
bottom match.
