Topic: fast track pre listen

This topic is old and might contain outdated or incorrect information.

Hi, I use VDJ 7.4 Pro and the Denon MC6000 controller.
At the bottom I see a loudspeaker sign and a green play/stop button. i think here i can put my tracks inside so that i can prelisten to them faster instead of loading the tracks to the decks all the time... but if its like that its not working. when i click an the loudspeaker symbol then it comes a dropdown menu with prelisten to automatic, output 1, output 2... but my prelisten text is grey and looks like not active.. hmm.. how can i use prelisten without loading the tracks into the decks cause it takes me too long time if i'm searching a track..
thanks for help

Highlight the track you want to listen to in the browser, click the green arrow, not the speaker button. No need to load that song onto a deck. Once the song is playing just drag your mouse along the grey bar to fast forward into the track.
 

This feature will only be practical if you are using the MC6000 in software mixer mode (Outputs: Headphones in VirtualDJ's sound config and switch on the back of the MC6000 set to PC MIX.)

If it's set to hardware mixer mode (Outputs: External Mixer / INT MIX), then you would need to choose the correct output (1 or 2) that's not currently playing out live each time as well as actually select it for PFL by pressing the relevant channel's CUE button. Forgetting to change it to the correct output or choosing the wrong one could result in it coming out live over the top of the playing song.
