Overview

This feature empowers DJs to make adjustments on the fly to various components of their tracks, including vocals, instruments, kicks, hi-hats, etc. This creates endless possibilities for creating new mash-ups, remixes, and transitions, opening up a new era of mixing that was previously not possible.
It lets you "mix" your songs, by playing two or more tracks at the same time, adjusting their relative speed so that their tempo will match, applying effects like loops, etc, and crossfading from one side to the other. It also lets you scratch your songs, set and recall cues, and all the other regular features DJs expect to find to be able to mix.
