Playback keys use shift - with this option on, all cue point, loop, and general playback keys on
the computer keyboard require shift or caps lock to function. This is a useful feature to prevent
accidental keypresses.
Lock playing deck - with this option on, you can only load a track to a deck while it is paused.
When off, a track may be loaded to a deck already in Play Mode, and the track will play
immediately.
Hi-fi resampler - this option significantly reduces digital distortion at very slow or very fast
playback speeds, increasing the CPU load slightly. This option is on by default.
use auto gain - auto gain enables you to set a uniform volume level for the tracks in your
library. When a track is in auto gain mode, the track gain knob appears recessed. Check
this box to enable auto gain. Provided you have analyzed your files, your tracks will now be
loaded with the auto gain applied. Next to this box is a drop down menu, in which you set the
target gain volume level. To find the optimum setting, load a track with an average volume
level onto one of the Virtual Decks. Now play the track, and take note of the volume and LED
lights inside the software. The idea is for the track volume to be sitting just under the clipping
point (indicated by the LED meter red-lining). If the track is too quiet, unload it, then go to
the Playback setup screen and boost the auto gain dB value more. Once you’ve made this
adjustment, load the same track onto the Virtual Deck again. You’ll notice that the volume knob
has automatically adjusted itself. keep making adjustments on the same track until it’s just
below the clipping point. Once this is set you won’t need to adjust the target gain level ever
again. Because the track you used had an average volume level, most of the other tracks in
your library should be around the same volume. You may still need to make minor adjustments
to some individual tracks, but once that’s done these will stay saved in the ID3 tag of the file.
tiP:
Slightly too quiet is always better than too loud. If your LED meter is in the red, it is likely
that it is clipping. Not only does clipping not sound very nice, it can damage your equipment.
