make sure you have no knobs down trims , master , cuemastermixfaders up . and essentially the knob at the front of the controller which is for the volume of the headphones . headphones level , next to the jack connectorAnd maybe you connected your speakers on the booth connection back , so you have to use the knob from back of the controller too . With serato it should work straight out of the box without setting anything else , but try downloading Djay pro or some other program available for it <| sep |> Or just nominate CS and open it ? <| sep |> It ' s not the thinking about it , but the doing it . Maybe you are , maybe you ' re not . It may be difficult anyway , but it can be even harder if you feel you have commitments to your students ' Kendo . But you also need to take time to commit to your Kendo . I ' m lucky in that I have a Hanshi hanging around , a Nanadan , a few people who should really be going for Rokudan , and we get regular visits from a couple of Hachidans as well . The only time I really have to focus on others is when everyone gets called away to seminars and I hold the fort . Except for Judo . Where I have a swarm of children to watch . But Judo is more of a side project for me , and I don ' t really compete .
