6.4 The Crossfader rack

If you are using a DJ mixer connected to a multiple output audio interface, you will not need to use the MIXVIBES VFX
crossfader. You can use your mixer's crossfader for direct control. Note: The crossfader of your mixer does not work to control
VFX (except if it is used in MIDI and mapped in VFX).
1 Crossfader: this component's function is identical to the traditional crossfader on an analog DJ mixe. It is used to
balance the mix (audio, video or audio+video) of the 2 media files.
2 Match: matches the BPM of one Player to the other. Click on the right-hand match button to match the BPM of Player B
with Player A. Alternately click on the left-hand match button and this will match the BPM of Player A with Player B.

the signal is saturated you must change your settings in the Master volume section or Equalizer/mixer section.
