That works for me too.
Another 'problem' could be that the eq's might respond a little different. Since the bigger speakers in a club can (and will!) produce lower frequencies in comparison to your home-system, the 'Low'-eq can respond a little 'faster' than you expected, but you'll get used to that in no-time. |

thats not always possible as some of the higher end mixers (Urei, rane) don't let you cue more than one channel at a time.
To me the biggest difficutly comes with the delay. That can really throw you off a bit and definitely takes some time to get used to. |

Why wouldn't they have a split cue? It makes mixing so much easier.
Ok really its because I dont know how to mix with the one ear on and off thing.. :rolleyes: |

| Yeah safest way is to just mix in your cans. I tend to do a combination of in headphones and one ear on/one ear off depending on how the system sounds. But remember if you are just mixing in your headphones to take them off from time to time to make sure there's still sound coming out and nothing's gone wrong! |

right? seriously, you'd think that "high end" mixers would have such a basic function as split cue |

I would argue the other way....that you would think People would learn such basic funtions as learning to mix without it.
Have worked with a reasonably large producer/dj who struggled on a rane in front of 1000+ people because he had not mixed on anything without split cue before. Caught me out before when I hadnt used single cueing for years |

split cue - one channel in each ear..
no split cue - both channels in both ears...
correct??? |

This again?
Split cue - One channel in each ear.
No Split Cue - One channel in both ears, so you use one ear to listen to the monitors and one in the phones.
I don't know about mixing in the cans when playing out... I tried it and I couldn't hear both tracks clearly because it was loud. That was on a xone 92.
If you watch the big names in the big clubs, they always mix one ear on one ear off. None of this split cue thing. And yes, there are many great and expensive mixers out there that only allow you to cue on channel at a time. Why? Because DJ's don't need it.
It's harder to learn and get accurate (and I'm still learning myself), but you'll be much better off in the long run.
