Pre-listening to a transition in Ableton?

I've been using Ableton Live Lite, which came as a free bonus with my Keystation 61es, and might be getting the opportunity to do some live DJing in the future. Is there any way to click a spot in the sequencer to preview it on my headphones while the main speakers keep playing as normal? If not, what do you recommend I do to make sure the tracks are placed correctly in the sequencer?

Thanks.

I assume you have one audio output dedicated to "cueing" (just goes to the headphones), and another to use as main output?

You could create a couple audio tracks, and set their outputs to your cue audio channel. Then just drag the tracks over to the cue track, and preview your mix in there.

Ahh, great idea! Thanks Ryan
