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
- Hover the cursor over the artwork of the track you want to preview.
- A play button will appear.
- Click the play button to start the preview.
To preview a track, either click the play button next to the track title or use Force Touch if you're on a touchpad or touchscreen.
If you're using a controller with an audio interface, previews will play through your headphones.
