Digital DJ Tips reader Nero writes: “Why do most DJs prefer using the line faders or the deck gains to blend in tracks instead of the crossfader? I was literally made fun of the other day when I used my crossfader in front of two advanced DJs ! So what’s the right way to do it? Deck gains, line faders, crossfader? Does it matter?”

Digital DJ Tips says:

Add instruments to garageband. Modern DAWs and vsts (ableton included) oversample to such an extent that you really don’t have to worry about this, which is why there’s no pre fader in live. You can see in most of the stock plugins a VU meter on the output (including the compressor) that will show you if you’re getting into the red but that’s really only to identify the problem if you are hearing clipping somewhere, it’s not necessary for 90% of.

Great question. Most DJ controllers have three ways of adjusting each track’s volume: The gain knob (the top knob, above all the EQs, and which is sometimes called “trim”), the line faders (the vertical ones), and the crossfader. So what are they all for?

The gain knobs
The gain knobs adjust the incoming volume of the track. They’re meant to be used to correct any slight volume differences between your tracks. They are most useful when VU meters on the unit are monitoring the incoming levels, because then you can set the track at a loud bit, and adjust the gain quickly and visually so it’s filling all the green bars of the meter, but rarely if ever tapping into the red. That track is now as loud as it can safely be, ready to have its volume in the mix adjusted by the other controls.

The point of these is so that you can be sure, having set the gain once, that all other things being equal, that track will sound right against any other tracks in your mix (which you will also have adjusted upon loading them, in exactly the same way).

The line faders
The line faders adjust the overall blend of tracks, assuming the crossfader is “in the middle”. Many DJs like to run these at around two thirds, so they can boost the track in the mix if need be by a little. They are used “in the mix” to subtly balance the tracks against each other. Depending on how the EQs are set, and how much is going on in the track, balancing the overall volume this way is what lets DJs move the audience’s attention between their tracks.

The crossfader
The crossfader is typically used as a fast “switch” for turning the tracks “on and off” in the mix. Especially with the crossfader curve set to sharp (“crossfader curve” is normally a hardware or software adjustment, and a “sharp curve” is where you only need to move the crossfader a tiny amount aways from fully left or fully right for the other track to be 100% “on”), it can be used to drop a beat in precisely, or cut it out equally as abruptly.

MixMeister BPM Analyzer is a free program you can use to automatically detect the exact BPM (beats per minute) of any song. Bpm and key song. You can update ID3 tags in your music files with exact BPM information, print BPM reports for your entire music collection, or even export BPM counts for use in other programs like Excel or music databases. The tags in most digital music files provide no BPM information at all, and others contain estimates, which are often inaccurate.Whether you're choosing songs to mix together, building a playlist for a specific mood, or comparing different versions of a song, BPM Analyzer makes finding the correct BPM easy.This is a simple program, but the BPM measurement engine is adapted from MixMeister Technology's award-winning line of pro DJ software, and it generates accurate BPM. MixMeister BPM Analyzer supports dragging and dropping files from Windows Explorer, and allows you to sort your music list by Title, Artist, or BPM.

Scratch DJs obviously make great use of this as part of their routines, but any DJ interested in cleanly and definitively introducing or removing a track from the mix may decide to use the crossfader in this way.

You make the rules!

But here’s the thing – these aren’t rules. Set the crossfader to “smooth”, and you can use it to blend just as subtly as the line faders can do. Many DJs like to mix with the line faders fully “up” or “open”, so they can cut the track in or out by using the line faders instead of the crossfader, by throwing them quickly as far as they’ll go. Still more DJs turn the crossfader off entirely. Others use the channel gains to “tweak” the overall volume, without ever touching the fully open line faders. And there are lots of combinations of the above preferred by different DJs, on different gear, with different music and mixing styles, too.

My advice is simply to understand each control, what they’re meant to do, and how they fit together, and don’t worry too much about this. It helps to DJ on other gear too, as you soon learn that you “DJ on what’s in front of you”. For instance, I used to DJ in New Order’s bar in Manchester, Dry 201, which had a big old Formula Sound mixer that had no crossfader at all, so all my mixing was with the line faders. At the other end of the scale, smaller DJ controllers like the Mixtrack Pro II don’t have gain knobs at all (they have auto gain in the software).

In the few tracks you come across that have a tempo change mid-way, you should add a second beat marker. If you don't notice a difference, just leave it off.So on or off?In my experience (as EDM DJ) it's best to turn dynamic BPM off. You can let Rekordbox analyze these dynamically and hope for the best but so few tracks have a tempo change it's not really worth it.A DJ must know their tracks so if you have tracks with tempo changes, it's good to set beat markers manually just to be familiar with the tracks. Analyze key and bpm free.

Only by DJing on as wide a choice of gear as possible will you start to be comfortable with using all of these controls to achieve your end result. Certainly don’t let other DJs laugh at you: there are no absolute rights and wrongs. As ever, it’s what comes out of the speakers that counts.

It also runs on other Unix-based OSs on any Intel PC. It is faster and much more convenient than a VM. Theoretically, it could be faster than running the programs in Windows with Boot Camp. How to install wine if you have steam already macbook pro. Go to the Steam website and click 'Also available for Windows', beneath the green 'Install Steam Now' button.
