•
once the two tracks are being played with the same Bpm, you need to
make sure, that their beats match.
you can achieve this by using pitch bend buttons on the user interface
or the controller (see section "using the pitch controls" on page 88 for
more information). the pitch bend buttons are also used for slowing
down/speeding up the playback of a player temporarily. this shifts the
playback position of the beats.
If you use u-mIX control pro/ u-mIX control 2 or another control-
ler with a jogwheel, use the jogwheel to perform the same action.
If you wish croSS to take care of the tempo and beat adjustment, click
the Sync button on the player with the new track. on the u-mIX con-
trol pro/ u-mIX control 2, press the SYNC button for the player
with the new track.
Which action that is triggered by the Sync button depends on the Sync
Mode setting that you can select in the General tab of the Preferences
dialog. clicking sync always matches the tempo of the track to one or
the other player, and either, syncs to the beat, the bar or the cycle of the
other track. (See section „Sync-meters" on page 84 for more informa-
tion about the sync modes.)
•
use the Beat matcher in combination with the Sync meters in the Head-
up Display as a visual indicator. the next section shows some examples
of what you can read in the Beat matcher and how the Sync meters can
help you to synchronize your tracks.
7
adjust the volume level by using the gain knob. the gain knob allows you to
set the overall level to match that of the track playing on the other deck.
NOTE If you change the gain level of a track, croSS DJ stores the
new value in the collection file. If you load the track again, the changed
gain setting is automatically applied.
8 to make the blend from one track to another, move the crossfader from left
to right, or use the channels faders on your controller or external mixer.
9 you can also change the channel equalization of the mixer to make the
transition between the two tracks more smoothly.
10 additionally you can use the effects and loops to highlight different parts of
an audio track.
TIP If you are using the u-mIX control pro you can change the cross fad-
er curve on the rear panel on the controller. you can set the curve to a quick
cut that is best for scratching to a longer fade, which is best for beat mixing.
