Start playing the track to be previewed on deck B. Prepare the track (beatmatch

the track, place a Cue point...).

PREVIEWING A TRACK

Previewing lets you prepare the next track to be played (following the track that you are currently
playing for your audience). You can use previewing to beatmatch the next track to be played, or
pause the track at a precise spot so that playback will start from this exact position. Or you can
place a Cue point, which will let you start playback of the track from that point (please also see
section 8 – PLACING A CUE POINT).
