Mixer Fader Settings
The curves of both the crossfader and channel faders can be adjusted to adapt to different play styles or situations.
For example, scratch DJs often prefer a crossfader with a very sharp curve for performing fast cuts, while radio DJs might prefer a smooth crossfader curve which maintains a constant output volume while fading between two tracks.
Both fader curves are displayed and updated in real-time to visualize the current settings. The curve describes the volume (y-axis) in relation to the fader’s position (x-axis).
The crossfader has two curve types:
- Transition: When the crossfader is in the center position both channels are at full volume
- Constant Power: The channels will be faded to maintain a constant power / energy
Each mixer channel can be assigned to:
- A: The left side of the crossfader
- B: The right side of the crossfader
- None: Unassigned, the crossfader will not affect the volume of the channel
