How do I use djay pro?

Old Forum djay Pro for Mac

Hi,

I’m trying to understand how to use djay pro, but I cannot understand the user interface, basically. My use case is very simple:

  • I just want to play one song to the audience, while listening to the next song on the headphones.
  • When the first song ends, I want this software to start playing the next song. A couple of seconds of pause between songs would be fine, absolutely no gradual change from one song to another!

So how do I do this? I even got the pre-cueing with the headphones connected to the internal headphone output and loudspeakers connected to a USB sound card working fine, except that I’m getting lost at which song goes out which way.

Thanks,

Ari

As you’re already using an USB sound card, this is quite simple:

  • Open djay Pro “Preferences” > select “Devices”
  • Assign your Main Output to your sound card (Channel 1 - 2), as well as your Pre-Cueing Output (Channel 3 - 4)
  • Now, plug in your headphones into your sound card

Selecting the headphones icon will activate the Pre-Cueing for one deck.
Give it a try!

The headphone buttons control what you are hearing on the headphones. When the song ends, move the crossfader to the second side and press play. Hope this helps.
