To add an effect over the music you can use the Fx button, and then choose your
effect using buttons 1, 2 and 3. The default effects are Flanger, Over-loop and Brake

=> In general, a beginner in DJing uses effects only to draw attention to a new piece of
music or to signal an announcement, he doesn't constantly add effects.
In addition to live performance, a DJ makes music by creating his or her own customized
mixes, which can be more complicated than animating parties. A DJ can:
•
Create new audio loops and effects, for example with Storm DJ software.
•
Customize live effects, such as scratches.
