I think he meant you should use the split cueing. Like put both headphones on. Then turn on split cueing.

If you're not listening to the headphone it doesn't matter what's going through it.

I use the monitor method myself, and then sometimes use split cue to fine tune jus b4 bringin the tune in
I learned using split cue originally, then swapped round to usin the monitor, jus felt more comfortable for me, its all about what feels rite for urself i guess

i was messin around with my split cue option last night on my 275

on the left cup it plays whatever you have cued,you can have both songs cued at the same time and listen to them in the left cup


in the right cup it plays the master channel

I wear my headphones wrong ear on- ie right cup on left ear etc.

I just prefer to hear the cue on my right ear and the output in my left.
experiment a bit and find what you find most comfortable and easiest.

both ways are fine.
tho i find with single monitoring, there's a lil lag from the monitors compared to headphones. maybe its my imagination? either way, it doesn't effect syncing ur beats, but come cueing and being in the mix, i dont feel so in control compared to mixing split cue with both cups.

anybody notice a slight lag with single monitoring?
or is it just me?

i noticed with split cue on,and say i have record 2 cued and record 1 is playing live and not cued with the mixer.. i can still hear a little of record 1 in my left cup,is that done on purpose to help matching?

Yes. That's what split cue is....

If you wanted the cued song in both ears...you'd just do the normal mode..

Yeah definitely. It depends how your monitors are set up...but sound takes a while to get from the monitors to your ears.

It took me a while to get used to, but now when the mix "clicks" in my head or whatever and they're matched...it includes the lag in there so they actually are perfectly matched. Know what i'm saying?

Hey,

I taught myself to mix using a really really dodgy setup with no guidance from anyone, and I found split mixing easier. When I upgraded my mixer to one actually designed for DJing, it didn't have split mixing, and I find that using the monitor isn't as accurate as a well setup split mix.

SOOOOoooo... what's a good electronics guru to do but build his own?

This one's quite simple, you need two 6mm stereo plugs, and a female stereo 6mm socket. Connect the left of one plug to the left in the socket, and the right of the other plug to the right of the socket.

Put one plug in the headphones out of your mixer, and the other plug in the headphones out of your amp/effects unit. Then, plug your phones into the female socket (no jokes please). Bingo, instant split mix functionality.

I practice in an apartment, so can't really blast out a monitor at 3am -- so this way I can hear the output channel really easily in the right, with my cue in the left.

Listening to both channels in the headphones I am dead against it.
Always listen to the track you're bringin in in your headphones.
This way when you have to bend it is never a luck thing.
I had a friend who learnt on a gemini mixer which has the split cue function.For two years, friend told him to give up the habit.Nowadays all the clubs are switchin to DJM 500 mixers which dont have a split cue[cue-program]function and he's finding it really tough to adapt.

So dont make yourself dependent to a particular type of mixer.
Also cue program if ok if you have to mix club,house or trance track which have long beat intros.If you have to mix any other genre of music say hip hop or pop where the vocals start immediately then you will hear two set sof tunes and vocals in your head phones and find it very confusin.

Just get use to >. One hear in the other out > I didn't want to put this example BUT .... what Pvd, Tiesto, AvB, etc..... DO ? ONE IN THE OTHER OUT

why is your friend havin a hard time adapting? split cue is basically the same as normal mode if you just use the left cup
