Its simple
normal cue:
you hear the selected cuechannel in stereo in your headphones
Split cue:
You hear the selected cue channel in one ear (normally left) and the main output (ie the one playing) in the other. they are seperated from each other, or 'split' hence the name.
Blend cue is where you hear both the selected cue and the main output in BOTH ears at the same time. |

one channel in one headphone cup, another channel in the other headphone cup.
These channels could be (depending on mixer) main, 1, 2, 3, 4, etc |

| so u can hear 2 songs... just not on top of each other, but in the 2 earphones, separately ??? how difficult is it to go from from having them both playing on top of each other, and correcting your beatmatching mistake, to going to split cueing? |

i personally love split cueing- i find it more comfortable using it- but i know others who dont get on with it. It can take abot of adjusting to.
its also dependant on the mixer. Formula sounds for example- their split cue is (dont ask me why, i cant explain it) but cloud mixers have it down to perfection.
All down to how you like it really.
Learn every available method- as odds on you will encounter them all at some point.
Often you will find it splits the meters on the main output too- enabling you match one with the other visually |

If you’re used to monitoring with the headphones on both ears, I should say it will take a lot of getting used. |

| I just stick with my one ear in the headphones on the incoming channel and the other ear listening to the booth monitor outside the heaphones. Pretty flexible technique as it will work with most if not all mixers. |

i'm used to mixing on the pioneer-djm500, where i can put both songs on and check my beatmatching....
i will be mixing w/ the new rane mp2016a, which has split cue... i've never done this before.. so i'm a little worried how i'll adjust... i am not perfect at the one headphone , other ear listening to the booth monitor, but i am ok at it... its a big gig, and i'm worreid the split cue will be hard for me... i am used to beiong able to check on my beatmatching. |

heh, well, i would suggest practicing up. the transition from one technique to the other isn't too hard, but don't go into it without practicing it up first. as much as it sounds like the same thing, it's not. the one cup on, one cup off method takes a little more concentration at making sure things are matched up. once you get it though, you won't look back. i personally hate listening to two tracks in the headphones now. |

why? you have a djm-500....
just click the incoming channel on in the headphones. keep the right side of the phones off and match the songs |
