Split!

Reasons why or why you don't prefer split cue.

Posted by DJ_Rafnel on Sep-30-2009 05:33:

Answer: No

Reason: It's annoying as hell.

I didn't like it till I used the A&H split cue - and now I find it very useful.

Not all split cues are the same. I never really worked out how to use the split cue on the DJM800 so would have voted NO a few weeks ago.

I don't always use it - but I find it very useful to use when I need it.

Sometimes I do, sometimes I don't.

Fuck no. I'd rather mix off the delay in a place with no monitors.

the xone92 makes slpit cue nice to me lol...

How the hell do you spin off a play with a crazy delay and no monitors with split cue off....

i think a person with one ear would find this poll discriminating

no, because i use one ear for cue in and the other open to monitor. i never got used to headphone mixing, mashed or split cue, although i guess in principle, what i'm doing now is the same as split cue...

Yeah - I've always thought split cue is the same as listening to the monitors with one ear anyway. In principle it's the same thing.

Used the split cue on my xone a few times, but I usually prefer to mix using "add mix"; both cue and play track in both ears.

Or you could press the split cue button that you paid for on your mixer.

LOL, you're so high on yourself

The basic technical side of DJing requires no talent whatsoever.

true, the nuts and bolts of djing can be learned, but it takes a little something extra to know how to pick tracks and read a crowd

i wasn't just talking about myself, but all good djs, talent is abundant in our industry
