If the BPM rates match, mixing of tracks A and B will sound good even if
the CROSS FADER slider is in the middle position.

Using the cross fader start function of a Pioneer DJ mixer, step 10 above
can be eliminated for even simpler mixing. In addition, when the CROSS
FADER slider is returned to its original position, the status returns to that
in step 9 (player CD2 at its cue point), so that you can repeat the same
play as many times as you like.
About the WAVE display
The WAVE display shows the changes in a tracks bass beat (bass drum,
etc.), thus allowing the DJ to understand where breaks and end points
come in the track. When the TEXT MODE button is set for WAVE dis-
play, the selected track is shown rescaled to fit within the full range (100
points) of the display.
After a track change, some time is required before the entire tracks
WAVE display can be shown. By prerecording desired tracks WAVE
patterns on a memory card, the next time the track is played its WAVE
pattern can be displayed instantly ( P. 21).
If a tracks low-frequency beat changes are too low in volume, the
break points in the track may not be displayed properly.
If a search or pause operation is performed during the time the wave-
form is being read, the waveform will not be displayed properly.
Read-ahead of the WAVE pattern is not possible during MP3 play-
back.
