Previewing the Next Song
>
1.
Put your headphones on and press the Right Headphone Button on the
X-Session Pro. You'll see the PFL/Headphone icon light up on the right side of
the Mixer on screen.
2.
Turn down the headphone volume by moving the Headphone Volume slider to
the left with the mouse.
3.
Press the Play/Pause button on the right side of the X-Session Pro to start
playback of Deck B. You'll hear the beginning of "Gabriel & Dresden Club Mix"
in your headphones.
4.
Turn up the Headphone Volume slider until the song is at a comfortable listening
level.
Now take off your headphones. Notice that you still hear the BT track over the
speakers and not "Gabriel & Dresden?" That is because you moved the Crossfader
all the way to the left. Pressing the headphone button on the right mixer channel
allows you to hear Gabriel & Dresden (Deck B) privately in your headphones.
Synchronizing the Songs
>
Put your headphones back on, but leave one of the earcups off. This way, you can hear
one song in your speakers, and the other in your headphones. Notice how the two
songs are completely out of sync with each other? It sounds pretty terrible. If you were
to try to mix Gabriel & Dresden into the speakers right now, it would result in what DJs
fondly call a "train wreck."
In order to avoid a train wreck, you need to change both the speed and position of
Gabriel & Dresden so that it matches the speed and position of BT. Torq LE has a handy
Sync button to accomplish this task for you. Click the Sync button on Deck B and listen
to what happens.
The two songs now play at the same speed and are in sync with each other. You can
see that the BPM values for the two Decks are matched, indicating that the songs are
running at the same speed.
