Click to Enable or Disable DJUCED from the Link network.
What is Link? Link is a technology that keeps devices in time over a local network
(ethernet and wireless), so you can forget the hassle of setting up and focus on playing
music.
https://www.ableton.com/en/link
Every Link-enabled Softwares can play in time with DJUCED.
The Link-enabled software will remain in tempo and synchronization with the MASTER
deck playing in DJUCED. If you change the TEMPO of the MASTER track playing, all the
Link-enabled software will follow the change and vice-versa.
4.6.MASTER LEVEL OUTPUT ↑ Back to Top
Adjusts the Master Level Output of DJUCED.
This knob controls the volume of the mixed sound DJUCED is sending to the audience.
The master-level meter turns all red when the sound sutures. Adjust the master level or
the tracks gain levels to correct this.
7/55
Tips: Remember that the VU-Meter should never be in the RED zone. It results of
saturation and distortion. If your controller has a Hardware Mixer integrated, set the
Master Level to the Maximum Value, and watch the VUMeter of your Mixer.
Tips: If your controller sound card has a hardware MASTER volume control, DJUCED
MASTER volume control is disabled
4.7.MIDI CONTROL ↑ Back to Top
When the MIDI Symbol is blinking, it indicates that DJUCED is receiving data from a MIDI
controller.
It is very useful to test if your controller is correctly seen in DJUCED.
4.8.BATTERY LEVEL STATUS ↑ Back to Top
Indicates the amount of charge of your computer’s battery.
Tips: When mixing with a laptop, always consider using it with a power supply plugged.
Disable USB power-saving options and screensavers to avoid any unwanted Midi or
Audio disconnection.
4.9.SYSTEM CLOCK ↑ Back to Top
Display the system clock
4.10.AUDIO CPU LOAD METER ↑ Back to Top
This Audio CPU meter shows DJUCED’s audio processing load.
DJUCED’s CPU meter shows the audio processing load but not DJUCED’s overall CPU
usage. This means you may see a different CPU value when checking Activity Monitor
(Mac) or Task Manager (Windows).
To determine the CPU load, DJUCED calculates the time it needs to process one audio
buffer.
This value is then compared to the time it takes to actually play one audio buffer.
8/55
For example, a value of 50% on the CPU meter means that DJUCED is processing one
audio buffer twice as fast as it takes to play the buffer.
Values over 100% are possible when the calculation takes more time than it does to play
one audio buffer, and will results with glitches and pops in the audio.
DJUCED expects that the audio thread will have the highest priority, however the final
prioritization of threads is done by the operating system, meaning DJUCED’s processing
might get interrupted.
This is why other applications may cause CPU spikes in DJUCED’s CPU meter.
Another reason for different values in Activity Monitor or Task Manager is the system CPU
meters normally show 100% per core/CPU.
For example 200% CPU load on the system meter of a quad-core machine means half of
the computer’s processing power is in use.
Note:
DJUCED expects that the audio thread always gets the highest priority and doesn’t get
interrupted.
When CPU audio thread is too high, DJUCED can slow down the interface to recover
some processing.
Tips: Always think to disable third-party applications on your computer when mixing. (Ex:
Anti-Virus Scan, Communication software…)
Reducing sampling rate and manage a decent ASIO buffer (windows only) avoid audio
issues, as explained in our optimisation guide.
4.11.FULL SCREEN ↑ Back to Top

render your sound better, because the musical source you will play is mostly in 44,1kHz
or 48kHz (mp3, iTunes music, or streaming sources music).
Oversampling in DJUCED will consume a lot of CPU resources, and can create
latency.

47/55
12.6.3.Tonality notation ↑ Back to Top
Standard notation is usually C D E F G A B C, plus MAJ for major and MIN for minor.
Open Key Notation is another tonality scale used to improve mixes’ harmonic quality.
Pieces’ tonalities are associated with a number (from 1 to 12) and a letter (m for minor or
d for major).
Songs containing the same number +/- 1
can be mixed harmonically while staying in
the same mode (d or m). As long as the
number is the same, you can toggle
between d and m.
For example, a piece with a 7d tonality
corresponds harmonically to pieces with 6d,
7d or 7m and 8d tonalities.
12.6.4.Display SLIP position on waveforms ↑ Back to Top
When “ON” the lower part of the waveforms displays the SLIP position. It allows exiting
the SLIP at the perfect moment.

Set to OFF to disable SNAP.
SNAP allows you to automatically align the creation of CUE points and Loop-ins and
Loop-outs with the tracks’ beats.
DJUCED allows you to choose a SNAP value of 1/32 of a beat to 1 beat.
Thanks to SNAP, loops begin and end perfectly in rhythm and the CUE points position
themselves perfectly in time. With a value of 1 beat, the loops and CUE points will always
be aligned to the beats.
Smaller SNAP values allow for more freedom, but require more dexterity.
12.6.10.High performance ↑ Back to Top

12.8.2.Crossfader Curve ↑ Back to Top
The crossfader curve is the shape of the mix’s curve, based on the position of the
crossfader.
There are two crossfader curves:
Mix (smooth transition between left and right). With the slider you can adjust the
slope of this curve.
Scratch (fast transition between left and right)
In addition:
Hamster inverts the curve.
OFF disables the crossfader.
12.8.3.Filter FX ↑ Back to Top
Select the four Filters/FX to be used on the Filter knob.
Check the FilterFX reference for more information.
12.8.4.Effect routing ↑ Back to Top
Time based effects can be routed back before or after the volume fader.
Pre-fader: the effect (wet signal) is cut when the volume fader is down.
Post-fader: the effect (wet signal) is preserved when the volume fader is down.
When the volume fader is down, you don’t hear anymore the track (dry signal) but still
hear the effect.
Note: Using Post-Fader FX makes the Effects sounding a lot better.
But, time-based effects containing Reverbs and Delays can’t be heard in the Preview
channel, only on the Master channel when using post-fader routing.
