MAIN WAVEFORM DISPLAY
This area provides a close-up view of the track,
including color-coding to show the frequency
of the sound; red representing low- frequency
bass sounds, green representing mid-frequency
sounds and blue representing high-frequency
treble sounds. You can also switch to a three-
band spectrum view by holding the ctrl key and
clicking on the waveform. Click and hold on the
waveform to ‘scrub’ or make fine adjustments
to your position within the track. The Main
Waveform is zoomed around the current position
in the track.
TIP : Use the + and – keys to zoom in and out.
TEMPO MATCHING DISPLAY
The Tempo Matching display area provides a
helpful tool for beat matching. ITCH detects the
beats within the track and places a row of orange
peaks (for the track on the left side) above a row
of blue peaks (for the track on the right side)
in the Tempo Matching display area. When the
two tracks are matched to the same tempo, the
peaks will line up. This display does not show the
relative timing of the beats, only the tempos of
the tracks. The peaks will still line up when the
tracks are playing at the same tempo, but are
out of sync.
BEAT MATCHING DISPLAY
This view shows the position of beats within the
track. When beat matching, this view helps align
the downbeats of the two tracks. The markers
are matched up when the two tracks are beat
matched.
Example :
The following is a demonstration of how to
use the visual aids to help beat match. In this
example, the track that is playing is on the left
deck and the track to be mixed in is on the right
deck.
1. Start the track playing on the right deck. After
a few seconds, blue peaks appear in the Tempo
Matching display.
2. Adjust the pitch of the right deck until the blue
peaks sit under the orange peaks in the Tempo
Matching display. Once they are aligned, the two
tracks have the same tempo.
3. Next align the markers in the Beat Matching
display. Watch the color of the items passing by
in the Main Waveform display. Remember that a
kick or bass drum will be red in color, and a snare
drum will be green or blue.
This technique will by no means guarantee
perfect mixes, but may help to speed up the
process of beat matching.
10. Cue Points
The Denon DJ DN-HC5000 features controls for
three Cue/Loop slots. To create a cue point, press
one of the IN buttons for the deck. The button
will light up to show that there is a point set. To
delete a cue point hold SHIFT and press the IN
button for the point you want to delete. Once a
cue point is set, you can jump to it at any time
by pressing the relevant IN button. If playback is
paused, triggering a cue point will play from that
point for as long as the IN button is held down,
and will return to the cue point and pause when
the button is released. You can also jump to cue
points using keyboard shortcuts 1 through 3 for
the cue points on the left deck and 6 through 8
for the right deck cue points. If you press and
hold these keyboard shortcuts while the track is
playing the cue point will be repeatedly triggered,
producing a stuttering effect.
TIP: The rate of cue point stuttering is controlled
by your operating system keyboard repeat rate
settings.
Windows users: Keyboard properties are in the
Control Panel.
Mac users: Keyboard and Mouse are in System
Preferences.
Your cue points are saved to the file and recalled
the next time it is loaded. They are not lost if the
file is moved or renamed.
Visual Aid : Cue Point Status
Notice that the stripe on
the Virtual Deck jumps to
the 12 o’clock position and
changes color when you set
a cue point - you are at the
cue point when the stripe is
one solid color and at the 12
o’clock position. As the track
plays on beyond the position of the cue point,
the colored stripe will shorten by a fifth for each
rotation. Likewise, as you approach the cue point,
the color will grow by a fifth each rotation.
TEMPORARY CUE
The temp cue function allows you to set a
temporary cue point in a track that is not saved
into the file. This is useful for finding a point in
a track and then being able to easily start again
from this point as you get your mix right. While
paused you can use the platter to fine tune the
playhead placement to ensure your cue point is
set exactly on a downbeat.
If no temp cue is set, pressing the CUE button
while playback is paused will create one at the
current playhead location. Once the temp cue
is set, holding the CUE button whilst paused
will play from the temp cue point. Releasing
the button will pause playback and return to the
temp cue. This is good for stuttering in the start
of a track.
If you press the PLAY/PAUSE button whilst you
are holding down the CUE button, playback will
continue when you let both buttons go. This
allows you to cue a track in from pause mode
and then continue playback once you know the
mix is right.
The CUE button can also be pressed whilst the
track is playing at any point to return to this point
and put the deck in pause. To change the location
of the temp cue put the deck in pause with the
playhead at a different location and press the
CUE button again.
The temp cue point is also useful to repeatedly
start from a preset point in the track. This allows
you to easily drop in a few times until you get
it right.
