Mixing In the Track by Using the Channel EQ and Filter

 

Now would be a great time to audition some of TRAKTOR KONTROL S4’s EQs and filters:

The EQ and FILTER knobs on channel B.

►

Turn any of the EQ or 

FILTER

 knobs on channel B to hear the effect on the cued track.

The EQs and filters are excellent tools for making adjustments to tracks before mixing them in
so that you get the smoothest transition possible. The most common technique is to filter the
bass line out of the incoming track—having 2 bass lines running simultaneously rarely sounds
good.

We will now carry out a first version of the mix “for real.” Thus, turn the 

CUE MIX

 knob

fully clockwise to hear the main mix in your headphones (or put off your phones and listen
to your mix coming through your amplification system).

Do the following:
1.

With the crossfader still on the left, turn down the 

LOW

 knob on channel B to take the

bass out of the track on Deck B.

2.

Progressively  mix  in  channel  B  by  gradually  moving  the  crossfader  from  the  left  to  the
center position.
