    Default How to cue up music?

    Can you listen to the next track in your headphones? and yes btw I just started. I'd like to know where the next song is when i am using the cross fader ... or do you guys just set up cue points before your mix and know already where u are going into the song?

    what hardware/software are you using?


    most controllers and mixers have a headphone cue button on the channel strip

    You need at least a 2 channel soundcard such as a NI Audio 2 or Numark DJIO to be able to hear two tracks at once.

    vdj should have a cue button but you need a soundcard with a second stereo channel to use it.

    i´d say just wait for your stuff to come. it wouldn´t make much sense to get a dj soundcart now since you´re going to be fully equipped next week

    Thanks! Can someone answer the 2nd part of my question? When you guys are doing a set or mixing do you use the headphones to cue up the next song or do you guys pretty much know at what point you are going to go into the next song?
