6. MIXING YOUR FIRST TRACKS USING SYNC
In this section you will learn to mix your first two tracks, using Deck A and Deck B, and the SYNC
function. For this method, you will not need to use Jog Wheels or your headphones. If you want to
try a more advanced method of mixing, using the Jog Wheels and headphones, refer to section
Mixing Tracks Using Jog Wheels.
At first, you prepare the Mixer by adjusting the control elements for mixing from Deck A to B. Then
you will load the first track into Deck A, and begin to perform step by step.
