38 Function Window
Note: The Vinyl/external control is not available in MAGIX
Digital DJ 2, so all input settings have no noticeable
effect. To activate these functions, you must upgrade
your version to Deckadance Home or Club Edition.
In MAGIX Digital DJ 2 you'll also find additional mixer settings (see below).
Controls
Pitch control and tempo variation are achieved by tracking the pitch and
phase of a signal from a record or CD. Select the input for decks A and
Busing the [Audio] options dialog opened from the top main Menu Bar (see
the screenshot below).
Scopes - The oscilloscopes provide a display for the quality of the tracking
signal. A good signal is indicated by a clean circle that fits inside the scope
window (50-75% of the diameter).
Tracking mode - The images of turntables and laptop to the left of the
oscilloscopes allow you to select:
- Absolute tracking (top deck) - The absolute tracking mode will locate
a position in the track automatically, depending on the position the
needle is placed in the vinyl (or CDJ track position).
- Relative tracking (middle deck) - Relative mode changes only the
playback speed and direction based on Vinyl input (or CDJ track
input).
- Internal tracking (bottom PC) - MAGIX Digital DJ 2 transport is
controlled internally, external timecode control is disabled.
INVERT PHASE Inverst the phase of the input signal. Try this button if
theabsolute mode doesn't work. This control is only visible if MAGIX Digital
DJ 2 Control CD has been selected.
Timecode source - Use the left/right arrow controls to select your timecode
source format:
- Timecoded CD (CDJ) - Select 'MAGIX Digital DJ 2 Control CD'. To
create a MAGIX Digital DJ 2 Control CD use the Global Options >
CONTROL CD CREATOR (view page 42). This will create a 26-minute
.wav
file ready to be burned to CD for use in your CDJ. Deckadance's
timecode is ultra-accurate with twice the 'control frames' per-second
compared to other leading control CD formats and so is designed to
work with Deckadance to deliver the tightest control possible. In
addition, it includes time-controlled auto-correction, so that the CDJ
and time displayed in MAGIX Digital DJ 2 are always in perfect sync.
