Next, you’ll use the Filter effect to remove the high frequencies from “Picture Of You,” 

right when the drums stop in “Defective.” We’ve placed a QuickCue Marker in “Picture Of 
You” to indicate where this should happen.

1.   If you look at the Overview Waveform for Deck B, you’ll see that the yellow Now Line 

is approaching QuickCue 1. Put your hand on the Filter knob for Deck B (this is the 
knob in the upper-right corner on the X-Session Pro controller).

2.   When QuickCue Marker 1 of Deck B (pictured in the Scrolling Waveform display) 

passes under the Now Line, quickly turn the Filter knob counter-clockwise to the 9 
o’clock position (the indicator will be pointing to the left). This makes the ECB & DJ 
Heather song sound muffled, and you’ll only hear a little bit of the bass drum.

3.   Now slowly turn up the Filter knob as the music builds in this section. Your goal is to 

have the knob at 12 o’clock when QuickCue Marker 2 passes under the Now Line of 
Deck B.

If you did that properly, then you managed to cause the ECB & DJ Heather track to mirror the 
same pause in energy as heard in The Crystal Method song—you made the two songs sound 
like one.

This whole time, the bass has been removed from “Picture Of You” because you turned 

the Low EQ knob on Deck B all the way down. In a moment, the bass on “Defective” will 
stop, and you’ll need to turn the Low EQ back up:

1.   You should see the yellow Now Line of Deck B’s Overview Waveform approaching 

QuickCue 3. Go ahead and put your hand on the Low EQ knob of Deck B.

2.   When QuickCue 3 scrolls under the Now Line at the center of the Scrolling 

Waveform display, quickly turn the Low EQ knob to the 12 o’clock position.

3.   With the bass restored, the ECB & DJ Heather track carries the beat during this 

breakdown in The Crystal Method track.

4.   When QuickCue 4 passes under the Now Line, quickly turn the Low EQ back 

down—fully counter-clockwise. This removes the bass from “Picture Of You” when 
the beat in “Defective” starts again.

By turning down the bass in one of the songs, it allows your mix to sound cleaner. While 
not always necessary, this is a good trick to remember, as playing multiple bass parts 
together often sounds bad.
