Previewing tracks
Previewing lets you listen to a song before loading it onto a deck, so you can plan smooth transitions and pick the perfect next track. It’s a quick way to audition music privately through your headphones or pre-cue channel while keeping the music moving.
You can preview tracks directly from the library browser without loading them onto a deck. Previews play through your pre-cue channel, allowing you to listen privately (without the track going through the speakers) before making your next move.
How to preview a track
- Tap the three-dot menu on the far right of the track in the library browser.
- Tap the play button to start the preview.

If you're using a controller with an audio interface, previews will play through your headphones.
For more information on pre-cueing, go to the Audio setup and pre-cueing section.
