I was wondering, because both ways work, but which one do you use?

both at the same time, on the headphones. I never mix using the monitor speakers for monitoring...

I heard from a lot of people that its better to learn speaker monitoring, is that true?

well, i dont think so, becoz if you are spinning in a club with bad monitoringspeakers, you cant hear your mix, if your monitoring with headphone, its always the same sound

Do both. Some mixers might not have split cue.

1. Use one headphone with the incoming track and one ear on the monitor to beat match.

2. Test your beatmatching with both trakcs in the ehadphones with both cups on your ears. If it's matched then you know you did good witht he monitor and now you can fix your EQ's on the new track to sound good. Cause now you hear what the people will hear when you bring it in.

He isn't talking about split cue, but about both tables on both ears at the same time.

i do it the same way. headphone off one ear, to the monitor(s) n one cup on the other ear monitoring the cue track.

Music isn't a way of life...it is life

I listen to both tables in my 'phones...I don't use the monitor.

I have the live mix in both ears, and the profile tune in both ears...i adjust the volumes of both songs in my ears so that I can hear a distinct pattern in the music...easier to correct drifting beats for me.

What I'm saying, is you might not be playing at a club where you can hear both records in the headphones at the same time. So learn to o both.

don't all mixers have that feature?. it's a basic feature if you ask me...could be wrong but I don't think so. split cue isn't standard, but cueing multiple channels is. at least I was under that impression...
