Each deck has a DJ filter on its mixer channel. Turned to the left it is a low-pass (it closes down the highs); to the right it is a high-pass (it thins out the bass); in the middle it is off.
- On the Performance screen or in the Mixer, turn a deck's FILTER knob.
- While an automix or a set is playing, turning a filter does not stop the mix. The plan stops moving that deck's filter, and your setting stays when the mix ends.
The filter sweep is a classic blend: the leaving track's filter eases in as a gentle high-pass (about 160 Hz, so only the sub-bass thins), stays while both tracks play, and opens again when the bass changes hands.
- In the Transition Lab, open LIVE DIRECTOR and press Plan mix.
- Switch on Gentle filter sweep on the leaving track, under the EQ moves.
- Play the mix, then rate it. The Director learns from your ratings whether you like it.
Tip. The Director does not choose the sweep by itself yet: its simulation finds nothing to gain from it, because the arriving bass is already held back. It is a matter of taste, which is why it is yours to switch on.
Tip. Touching an equaliser knob during an automix still hands control back to you.
