Interlude: In Case the Left Track Has Reached Its End
The track “Techno 1” on Deck A has been playing since we started with the tutorials, and it
might happen that the playback reaches the end of the track. In this case, just do the follow-
ing:
►
On the left Deck, press SHIFT+CUE to skip back to the beginning of the track.
You can then resume from where you left off.
4.2.6 Mixing In the Track by Using the Channel EQ and Filter
Now would be a great time to audition some of TRAKTOR KONTROL S2’s EQs and filters:
The EQ and FILTER knobs.
►
Turn any of the EQ knobs on channel B to hear the effect on the cued track.
The EQs are excellent tools for making adjustments to tracks before mixing them in so that you
get the smoothest transition possible. The most common technique is to filter the bassline out
of the incoming track — having two basslines running rarely sounds good.
