How to: Read the Live decks (A/B, cue points & phrase info)

The Live board's two decks work like professional DJ software: one deck is ON AIR, the other holds the next record CUED. When the cued deck takes over, the roles flip and the freed deck loads the following track. The panels stay put — the role moves. During a blend both decks show ON AIR and you can watch one waveform dim while the other rises on the real mix curves.

Header	Means
`DECK A · ON AIR` (red pulse)	this deck is playing to air
`DECK B · CUED` (pink)	next record loaded, parked at its cue point

The waveform (true length)

Each deck draws the entire record — orange/blue banded waveform with a moving playhead — so you always see how deep in you are and how far to the exit:

Mark	Means
▲ cyan triangle + line	the cue point — where this record enters the mix
red vertical line	the mix-out — where the engine will leave it
thin white ticks	every 4-bar phrase (16 beats)
taller green ticks	every 8 bars — the section turns a Caribbean DJ mixes on

Phrase info (the readout under the waveform)

On the playing deck: bar 21 · phrase turns in 3 bars — live position on the musical

grid. When the counter approaches the turn, that's where drops, cuts and blends land.

On the cued deck: cued at bar 9 · starts in 1:42 — where the incoming record's cue sits

in its own structure, and the real countdown to the mix (driven by the outgoing track's mix-out point, not a guess).

In the 24/7 rotation: at the end of a genre block the cued deck previews the **next

block's opening record and its genre** (next block · DANCEHALL), or MIX: … when a budgeted external mix is queued.

Bottom line per deck

Key (Camelot, colored), BPM (the rendered tempo), Energy (1–10 from analysis), and the deck clock — elapsed / total on the air deck, the start countdown on the cued one.

The scrolling two-lane crossfade strip below the decks is unchanged: decks give you the overview and the phrase count; the strip shows the seam itself, beat by beat, when a move runs.
