8/18 – User Manual
a) Check that your sound card’s speaker mode is set to 4 channel or 5.1 channel.
b) Connect your headphones to the rear speakers plug on your sound card (black plug on
Sound Blaster Live!).
c) When you run VirtualDJ, activate headphone previewing by clicking on the
Headphones on 4.1 rear output (in the Settings/Sound Cards window).
You will need low impedance headphones for monitoring (less than 32 Ohms), as the sound level
will be too low if you use high impedance headphones. To monitor a deck, press and hold that
deck’s headphone monitoring button; monitoring stops as soon as you release the button. Make
sure to disable any 3D positioning features on your sound card, or else you may end up hearing
echoes of the track you are monitoring in your main mix!
When a piece on deck A is being played in the room, you should use your headphones to preview
the piece on deck B, and when a piece on deck B is being played in the room, you should press
the headphone monitoring button on deck A to prepare the next piece, and so on. The
corresponding LEDs next to the headphone monitoring buttons indicate whether the track is being
monitored on that deck: when the LED is lit up on your DJ Control MP3, that deck is being
monitored.
In VirtualDJ, the boxes in the upper middle part of the screen representing decks 1 and 2 reflect
your monitoring status: in the case below, deck A (the left-hand deck, or deck 1 in VirtualDJ) is
green, indicating that it is being monitored on your headphones, while deck B (the right-hand
deck, or deck 2 in Virtual DJ) is red, indicating that it is not being monitored.
5.4. Speeding up or slowing down a piece
The main reason for speeding up or slowing down a piece you are about to play is to match its
BPM and synchronize its beat with that of the piece already playing. In this way you can mix the
two pieces together smoothly when switching from one deck to another. There are two ways to
regulate the speed of a piece: by manually adjusting its pitch, and automatically via beat-
matching.
On vinyl decks, the pitch allows one to adjust the rotation speed of the turntable. This adjustment
therefore changes the speed of a piece by modifying its overall tonality (for example, a piece that
has been sped up significantly will sound much more high-pitched, or sharper).
You can therefore use one of the DJ Control MP3’s Pitch knobs to modify the pitch of a piece.
VirtualDJ also offers a very useful function to automatically match the BPM of pieces that are
playing and synchronize their beats for easy mixing: this function is called beat-matching. Press
the Master Tempo button on either deck to toggle beat-matching on and off for the deck in
question. When the corresponding LED lights up, beat-matching is enabled on that deck; when
the LED is off, beat-matching is disabled on that deck.
