achieve the perfect gain for the piece being played on Deck B, if you haven’t done so already.
Naturally, there are many ways to switch from one piece to another: you can move the cross fader
slowly, create back-and-forth effects, etc. Just use your imagination! Once the cross fader is
pushed completely to the right, only what is being played on Deck B will be heard by the
audience. At this point you can either set the headphone output selector to the Mix position to
hear what is being played on Outputs 1/2 on your headphones, or temporarily remove your
headphones and just listen to the music over the speakers in the room.
The following diagrams give you an idea of how the Bass, Medium and Treble knobs and cross
fader are adjusted for the procedure described above.
Piece A being played on Deck A in the room. The
Bass, Medium and Treble knobs on Deck A are
adjusted for the perfect sound mix.
Switching from Deck A to Deck B (keep the cross
fader in the center position for approximately 5
seconds while you adjust the Bass, Medium and
Treble knobs on Deck A and Deck B).
Once the knobs are in their new positions, you can
move the cross fader all the way over to Deck B.
The transition between two pieces should be perfect thanks to the pitch synchronization carried
out previously. Should you notice a slight discrepancy, however, use the Pitch bend - / +
buttons. These buttons are the equivalents of the DJ giving a little push to the vinyl on his
turntable, or slowing down the deck with his hand. The pitch modification value increases the
more the Pitch bend button is pressed.
Let’s assume that you have a turntable connected to Inputs 1/2 (for Deck A), and that the next
track you want to play is on a standard vinyl record on Deck A.
While the track on Deck B is playing, set the headphone output selector on the DJ Console Mk2’s
front face to the Deck A position so that you can monitor Deck A (the left-hand deck) while you
are getting your next track ready. Press the audio source select button on Deck A so that the
LED is off, indicating that Deck A is in Input mode. Cue up the record on your turntable
connected to Deck A to the spot where you want the music to start playing.
