• INPUT THRU - Passes audio inputs through to MAGIX Digital DJ output. Use
this to play regular vinyl records (make sure that the associated deck is set to
'Internal tracking' so that the turntable input is not treated as a control signal).
If you are using a control vinyl when INPUT THRU is "on" you'll hear the
tracking signal "whistle" in the mix. Useful when setting up your rig, but your
audience probably won't like it if you forget to turn in off :)
• LEARN TIMECODE - Calibrate Deckadance to the default speed of your
timecoded vinyl (if you are using a CD see the section on Timecoded CD
(CDJ) above). To obtain the most accurate vinyl calibration:
1. Ensure your setup is correct and that you have a 'healthy' tracking signal
on the input, at approximately 50%-70% amplitude.
2. Play the record or CD at normal speed (important with normal/reset pitch in
your turntable!).
3. Press 'learn' and hold for 3 to 4 seconds.
4. Release 'learn' and you're done!
• GAIN - Adjusts the input level for the associated deck. Tips to obtain an
accurate lock on the tracking signal on the record. The signal level from your
turntable is important, it should be set to about 50-70% from the center of the
oscilloscope window to the edge. A signal that is too loud will clip and
degrade the tracking signal. A signal that is too low can lead to phase
ambiguity and so affect spin direction detection.
• RUMBLE - Rumble Threshold, ignores input audio signals below the
threshold level. Use Right Mouse Button to reset to -50.0 dB.
• LEAD IN - Coming soon.
Setting the input control signal
Use the Gain knob to set the amplitude so that a circle is formed about
50-75% of the maximum diameter that will fit in the window. Use the Rumble
knob to clean up scatter or noise in the signal – compare the screenshot
above to the one below to note the cleaner-looking circle below.
