15.4.2 Loading and Playing the Second Track
We will choose the track Techno 2, load and play it on Deck B:
1. Drag and drop the track from the Preview Player onto Deck B. Alternatively, use any
other loading method described in chapter ↑15.3.1, Quick Loading a Track. The track
info and waveform appear on Deck B.
2. Press the Play button on the right Deck to start the playback. The track starts playing.
The Play button lights up and the waveform starts moving on TRAKTOR’s Deck B.
We don’t hear anything from Deck B through the speakers yet because we have set the
crossfader all the way to the left—our plan is to slowly mix in the track on Deck B.
You can already give it a try: by slowly moving the crossfader to the right, you should hear
the track on Deck B fade in, whereas the track on Deck A progressively fades out as you
move the crossfader further to the right. Obviously, our mix is not satisfying at all yet—
before mixing in the second track, we first have to beat-match it to the track playing on
Deck A. So for now, pull the crossfader all the way back to the left.
15.4.3 Using Headphones to Prepare the Mix
From now on, let’s get used to preparing our mix with headphones until the next track
(here on Deck B) is ready to be mixed in.
