9. 8
7) The files are copied on your computer
8) Installation process is over and the program is ready to be launched.
2. 2. Program files
Nothing is put in external subfolders, so un-installation is also really easy:
either run the un-installation program or just delete the installation folder.
Configuration data is stored in Windows registry and upward compatible.
DSS DJ distribution is composed of several files, please do not modify the
original distribution. DSS DJ cannot work as a standalone file. The main
files are:
Main folder: where the main files are stored, including configuration
files and the exe file

10. 9
Effects folder: plugin files used to add different effects to the songs
Lists folder: all song lists are stored here
Skins folder: the skins are stored here. Each skin includes a BMP
image file and an XML file containing the skin’s properties
Tutorial folder: includes the interactive tutorial (requires Flash 6).
2. 3. The first program start
Several shortcuts were added to the windows start menu.
Also, a DSS DJ icon has been created on the desktop. Now you
can start the program for the first time. Double click the program
icon on the desktop or, from your windows start menu choose:
All Programs -> MyXOFT DSS DJ -> DSS DJ 5.0.
The first time the program is started will show you a splash screen
containing the copyright information and version number.

11. 10
After a few seconds the DSS DJ interface will appear.

12. 11
2. 4. Defining driver and audio parameters
DSS DJ offers extensive features, and therefore requires more system
resources than simpler MP-3 players like WinAMP™ for example. The
capability of playing 3 MP-3 files simultaneously, digital sound analyze,
loop, scratch, or various channel signal output for example, demands a well
configured PC. Further more, DSS DJ offers extensive possibilities to
manipulate audio engine settings. The audio engine represents the core of
program, and is responsible for highest quality play backs with shortest
possible control latency intervals. Therefore make sure that background
programs, like real time virus scanners, power- and print management, etc.
should be deactivated.
Audio Output Configuration
All important audio engine, and sound driver settings are defined on the
“Audio Output” tab, located in the Configuration window.
Should you encounter problems playing titles try at first to change the
following parameters.
Buffer size: size of internal buffer. In the event there
are audio problems, come back to the audio setup to
tweak the latency settings.
Number of buffers for the driver. Increase this value if you
can not achieve clean audio playback.
For utmost compatibility to various different sound cards, DSS DJ uses the
DirectSound driver. This is the most stable common driver. Depending on
hardware outfit, it allows a latency within 30 to 100ms.
Latency
Latency is the amount of time from the command to it’s actual execution. In
this case latency is anywhere between 40 and 60ms. To avert drop outs when
DSS DJ is first installed, latency is set to 85ms by default. A lower latency
will increase the interactivity by making the program respond faster to the
commands, but on slower systems or soundcards tend to produce sound
dropouts.

13. 12
The goal is to achieve the lowest latency without these artefacts. Since it
depends on the existing hardware, it cannot be calculated and the best value
is usually determined by trying out. To do so, set the buffer size and the
number of buffers in the Configuration window to the lowest values. Play
one of the decks. If you experience sound dropouts had back to the “Audio
Output” tab of the Configuration window and increase the buffer size and/or
number of buffers. Repeat this steps until you achieve a clean audio
playback.
The tested cards have been reported to operate unstable only in extreme
situations, when used at the lowest latency. To quickly get into working with
DSS DJ, we recommend the step-by-step configuration instructions in
chapter 4 (Configuration Window).

3. 1. The program’s main window
The DSS DJ main window contains the following modules:
Decks A and B
Playlist
Lists Browser
Mixer panel
The appearance of the program window can be changed completely due to
the Skin support. In the configuration window, choose the skin you like best.
On MyXoft’s website, (www.myxoft.com) a design-pack with tools and
hints for your own skin creation and editing is available for download. Skins
already made are also available.

15. 14
The following chapter covers structure, and functionality of these modules in
detail.
3. 2. Overview
When in Auto-DJ mode, both songs rhythms are automatically synchronized
and the beats are perfectly overlapped to create quality beat-matching.
Almost all these functions are automated which makes it very easy to use.
The user also has full time control and is free to develop his own sound
effects. Using this application you can let your imagination fly and you are
only limited by it.
The program has advanced preview functions: when a song is playing in
master (speakers) the user can listen in headphones the next song or any
other one, and can change different parameters before sending it to audition.
You can also listen in headphones the master song and the next one to come
in perfect synchronization, to see how the two songs overlap.
A three channels equalizer allows modifying the sound in each deck. The
equalizers also have kill functions to eliminate the bass, middle and high
frequencies. Keeping only the rhythm is just a mouse click away. There is a
powerful real time effect block that can apply the desired effect to the sound.
The playback speed can be changed using the pitch slider in each deck, the
pitch reset and bend functions. All program modules run in real time and
their settings are automatically saved and loaded.
The Playlist has advanced features like instant column sorting, column
resize, column show/hide, mouse wheel scroll, drag&drop within the list,
between the existing lists and even from other applications, MP3 tag editor,
physical delete and an instant search. The Lists Browser manages multiple
lists organized in a tree structure.
The waveform graphic display gives you real time audio signal monitoring,
information about the audio signal and the beat rhythm. It can be configured
to display the standard waveform or the beat rhythm of the audio signal.
Mouse drag&drop within the sound graphic display can make real wonders.
You are free to make real scratch effects by dragging the sound fully
interactive. Depending on the speed of the drag and drop you can create a
disk spin effect, scratch, reverse play, mute, set cue-points, and even a
reverse spin and play effect.

16. 15
3. 3. Decks
The two decks are controlling playback of audio files and one or more CD-
ROM drives, if audio CDs are inserted. Besides the main analog CD player
functions, a lot of additional features are available. Some of them can be
achieved only using a computer. The structured and ergonomic design
allows a professional use and simplifies readjusting from commercial
double-CD-players.
The two main players DSS DJ is working with are basically the same. They
look the same and have the same functions. Of course, the way they look can
be changed using the powerful XML Skin support with the design-pack and
tools available for download on our site.
Loading titles in decks
All titles can easily be inserted and played from a play list by
drag&drop from the playlist or by the pop up menu.
Titles can also be loaded from the main Playlist using
the Next button on the deck. When in AUTO DJ mode after
crossfading to the other deck, the next song in the playlist is
automatically loaded. When dropping one or more audio
files dragged from other application on one of the decks,

17. 16
only the first audio file is loaded in the deck, and the History list is updated
with it’s audio and file information.
In order to continually loop the title loaded in one of the decks activate the
Loop Song option – very useful when playing a short beat sample
on and on, meantime, working with the other deck – turntablism.
Active deck
If a deck is playing in the master output is considered to be active and is
emphasized by a red led in the display. Usually only one deck is active,
although when mixing both are active.
Seek Bar
The Seek Bar slider shows the current song position and the active CUE
point, marked by a red dot. Click to reach the
desired position. We will discuss working
with cue points later.
Song title
Song title is centrally positioned in deck for best view. When in loop mode
the number of beats in current loop is displayed instead.
Basic Functions (Cue and playback)
The players basic functions are CUE and PLAY-
PAUSE and are emphasized using large buttons with
the cue, play and pause signs used on the
professional CD players.
CUE - cues to the selected cue point and stops there. Click twice to erase the
selected cue point. We will explain the cue-point adjustments later.
The PLAY-PAUSE button starts/stops playback of deck at current position.
If the deck is playing then the song is instantly paused and the current CUE
point is set to the new song position.
CUE-PLAY – Whatever the playing status (playing or not) it cues to the
current cue point and starts playback. This is very important when listening

18. 17
in headphones how two songs overlap before sending them to the main
speakers.
Pitch, Bend and Master Tempo
With the pitch and bend functions the playback speed of a title is
manipulated, and subsequently, the BPM value. Pitch function, without the
master tempo option checked, also raises the audio frequency. These two
functions are used for title speed adjustment when mixing.
The pitch slider allows you to change the speed of the song.
The slider allows the pitch change of up to 24% from the
original. For a smoother control over the pitch check the 8%
Pitch Range option in the Configuration window. You can
temporary change the pitch by click or drag the slider with
the right mouse button. When releasing the mouse, the pitch
goes back to the initial value.
Resetting the pitch to the original value can be instant by double clicking the
Reset button upward the slider, or smooth by a simple click on the Reset
button. The smooth reset is almost 0.1% per second witch imperceptible for
the average human ear.
Changing the songs speed also raises or lowers the
frequencies (tonality). To change the songs speed without
changing the frequencies (tonality) check the Master
Tempo option in the Configuration window.
The bend buttons momentarily slows down or speeds up the deck to
make fine adjustments in overlapping the songs when mixing; very
useful when you want to beat-match 2 songs. When both decks are
playing, the bend buttons will flash alternatively, indicating it should
be pressed one or more times to make a fine mix. Set the bending value in
the Configuration panel.
When in AUTO DJ mode or after pressing the Synchronize buttons, these
functions are completely automated resulting in the best song overlapping
and the finest mix.

19. 18
Realtime BPM detection
Dance music has a synthesized, regular rhythm which defines a
specific number of beats per minute (BPM). Using it's revolutionary
algorithm, DSS DJ can detect on the fly, a very precise BPM for all genres.
When changing the pitch, the songs BPM is also changed
and the changes are instantly displayed resulting a
complete interactivity. The program calculates song's
rhythm (BPM) and saves it for future use – no human interaction necessary!
The song BPMs may slightly differ during the
play. DSS DJ automatically detects the rhythm
and displays it. In case you want to lock the BPM
to a certain value click the BPM in the display. A
dialog will appear asking you for the
BPM count. Also check the LOCK
option. After pressing OK, the BPM display will turn red.
The automatic BPM detection is optimized for fast rhythm (BPM
120 to 155). For BPM detection on slower rhythm (like r&b, hip-
hop, etc.) press the Lower than 120 button to change BPM range.
The breakthrough BPM detection has been developed during years of sound
testing in the MyXOFT sound laboratory. Discotheque Sound System DJ
has without doubt the best rhythm detection ever implemented in a software
or hardware device.
Time display
Alongside the position slider, the song position is
showed by the Elapsed Time and Remaining Time
displayed in deck.
Waveform Display
The waveform graphic display gives you real time audio signal monitoring,
information about the audio signal and the beat rhythm. It can be configured
to display the standard waveform or the beat rhythm of the audio signal.
The beat rhythm is displayed as a grid on the waveform for best
visualization. The Waveform Display represents the exact graphic

20. 19
representation of the sound, similar to the graphs used in the professional
sound processing software. The amount of time displayed differs depending
on the skin size. In the standard skin the amount of time displayed by the
graphic is exactly 2 seconds.
Markers
The current song position is the
red line marker in the center of
the display. The beginning and
the end of the current loop are
displayed as green lines. The currently selected cue point is the light blue
line marker. Beat marker – light brown vertical line shows (predict) where
the beat is. Starting from the detected BPM value, a beat grid is
automatically defined using this beat markers.
These markers point to the exact sample position in the song and help in
precisely visualizing the cue and loop points.
With the automatic synchronization DSS DJ makes mixing songs seem the
easiest thing possible. After a few beat matching mixes you will feel the
sound difference and will be very disappointed to hear a non rhythm
matched mix. This is called the “DJ bug”.
Vinyl scratch effects
Mouse drag&drop within the sound graphic display can make real wonders.
You are free to make real scratch effects by fully interactive dragging the
sound. Depending on the speed of the drag and drop you can create a disk
spin effect, scratch, reverse play, mute, set cue-points, and even a reverse
spin and play effect.
Mute: A right click on the display will mute the deck regardless of
the deck’s playing status. Works on a playing deck.
Instant Brake: A click-hold-and release will cause a pause with a
short brake at the beginning and spin the end. Works on a playing
deck.
Scratch: A click and quite fast movement of the mouse left and/or
right makes a scratch effect.

21. 20
CUE point fine tune: A click and slow mouse move on a paused
deck will move the current position and also the current cue point.
Works on a paused deck.
Spin: A click followed by a long and fast mouse movement and a
quick release while the mouse is still moving makes a turntable spin
effect. The Spin effect works on a paused or playing deck, whatever
the direction (backward or forward). It is really an astonishing
effect. Seeing music lovers enjoy this it’s a DJ’s dream come true.
For now on you don’t necessary require a turntable to make it. You
move it, you see it, you hear it, and most of all, everyone enjoys it.
In order to smoother the sound, for all the spin effects described above, the
mouse release creates a short turntable spin effect; an instant song speed
change would result in an unprofessional sound skip.
Reverse playback
To play the sound backward activate the reverse play by pressing
the Reverse button beneath the waveform display. Due to the
powerful sound engine, reverse playing works even in loop mode
and loop song mode and it is perfectly compatible with all the effects.
Brake/Start
To create a turntable brake/start effect press the Brake button
beneath the display. When in brake mode the play and scratch
modes are deactivated. Click the Brake button to exit this mode
and continue song playback. The brake mode works even in the reverse
mode and/or loop mode.
Beat Offset Meter
The red indicator in the upper-left corner of the waveform display is the Beat
Offset Meter displaying offset relative to synchronization reference (other
deck). It shows form –1/2 to +1/2 beat. The offset meters in the other deck is
always the mirror image ( ) of the one you are looking at (if
one deck is behind then the other is ahead and vice versa). If the beats of the
two songs playing perfectly overlap these indicators are empty ( ). As
soon as the beats do not perfectly overlap this indicators turn red indicating
that manual or automatic synchronization is required. These meters only
work when both decks are playing. Beside the offset meter, one of the two

22. 21
bend buttons in each deck turns red allowing for the finest manual
synchronization.
Working with Cue Points
Discotheque Sound System DJ
can store and operate with up to
8 cue points for every song
loaded.
Switching between the cue
points is very simple due to the
buttons on each deck.
The active cue point is the one with a red border. A red filled button
indicates a set cue point.
If you set a CUE point, it’s position will be indicated by a red dot on the
song position slidebar and a light blue line marker on the waveform display.
The waveform display marker indicates the exact sound sample the cue point
is set to.
Select a CUE POINT to record a track position. Once the song position is
found, click PLAY-PAUSE to pause the song. The selected cue point
becomes red and on the seek bar appears a red sign showing the recorded
location. If the selected cue point already records a position, then the old
position is overwritten by the new one. While in paused mode, fine
adjustments to the cue point are made by slowly dragging the waveform
display – it moves along with the current song position.
A right click on one of the cue buttons will erase it.
All recorded cue points are saved for each title loaded in the decks,
alongside other information, and is loaded with it. When loading a title in
one of the decks, the current song position is set to the last active cue point.
If there’s none set for that title, the first cue point is automatically set by the
program to the first sound louder than -40 dB (the first hotter sound) thus
eliminating the leading silence, feature called auto cue. When the AUTO-DJ
mode is ON, the current cue point is used as a fade in position and the last
cue point (on right) as a fade out position.

23. 22
Loop control
DSS DJ sound engine and interface has integrated a powerful realtime loop
control. The loop samples played are actually parts of the title playing. A
wide range of functions are available for quick access to the sound engine
parameters on controlling the loop. All looping functions work seamless and
on-the-fly. When in loop mode the number of beats in current loop is
displayed instead of the song’s name.
A right click on any of the loop
buttons will exit the loop and
continue playing, similar to pressing
the Loop Out button.
Loop In/End
Activates the Starts the snap to beat loop (the loop will snap to the closest
beat). Wait as long as you want and press this button again to end the loop.
If you continue pressing it the loop size reduce to half every time, until a
1/32 loop beat value is reached. The loop length is automatically adjusted to
make a seamless loop.
Loop Out
Press Loop Out to exit the current loop.
Resize Loop In/Out
Decrease the loop to half of the initial size or double it’s size.
Instant loop define
Press one of the loop beats buttons to instantly define a loop starting from
that exact position and with a size ranging from half beat to 16 beats. For
example, pressing the 8 loop beats button, the loop will last for 8 beats
before repeating. Once the loop started, click other loop buttons to change
loop parameters.

24. 23
Frequency Cut-Off Filter
The Frequency Filter is a powerful DSP (Digital Sound Processing) effect
that can only be achieved using digital technology. As described in the two
graphics, it cuts off a range of frequencies
creating a unique sound effect. In the first
example frequencies ranging from the
lowest to 165Hz are cut off and ranging
from 1.7KHz to the highest in the second.
Use the right mouse button to instantly
reset this filter.
Equalizers
A set of three equalizer knobs is available for each player. The
low, middle and high spectrum of frequencies can be modified
within -14 dB to +14 dB range. Use right mouse click reset the
knob to 0 dB. Use Kill buttons to cut off the entire low, middle or
high frequency range (-80dB cut off for each frequency range).
The three frequency ranges are:
Low (bass): 0 Hz – 250 Hz
Middle: 250 Hz – 7 KHz
High (treble): 7KHz – 22 KHz
Effect Plugins
A wide range of sound modifiers can be applied to
the song using the Plugin Effects. The plugins are
DLL files stored in the Plugins folder in the DSS
DJ program directory. Up to four plugins may be
simultaneously loaded and used for each player.
Some effect have settings that can be modified during the playback. Press
Edit to Edit Plugin’s Parameters, if any available. Download and read the
effects SDK (Software Development Kit) available on the site to learn how
to create an effect (Visual C++ and Delphi examples).

25. 24
3. 4. Lists Browser
The Lists Browser panel manages multiple lists organized in a tree structure.
It is used to organize the track collection and to compile playlists. In spite of
the complex and large amount of data stored and managed, it was designed
to look and feel as simple as possible. A simple click selects the list and
instantly displays it in the Playlist view.
The Playlist displays enqueued tracks to set a loading order when pressing
Next and for Auto-DJ mode; drop tracks on it to enqueue them to the
playlist. On multiple song drop, a message is displayed asking for
permission to copy the tracks to the Playlist.
The History shows played tracks in their loading order.
These two track lists are automatically created, are always the first two
shown here, cannot have sublists, and cannot be deleted. When in Auto-DJ
mode the tracks are automatically loaded and deleted from the Playlist in the
exact order, and added to History.
Dropping tracks to any other list will move them to the new location. A
dialog is displayed asking for permission to move multiple songs to the new
location.

26. 25
Adding a new list
The New button beneath the tree structure list allows adding a new
empty list to this structure. If the root of the tree, the Playlist or History are
selected, the new list will be placed
at the bottom of the tree, on the first
level. If any other list is selected,
pressing the New button will create a
new sublist for the selected one. The
new list requires a name. If none is
supplied by the user, List is used as
the default name.
Deleting an existing list
The Delete button erases the
selected list. It only works for user
created lists. A warning message is
displayed asking for a specific
confirmation.
Renaming lists
The Edit button allows the
renaming of the lists. A specific
dialog box appears asking for the new
name for the selected list. This option
does not work on the Playlist or
History.
Exporting a list
The lists data (track artist, title, BPM, genre, comment and album) can
be exported to HTML files for online publishing. The created file is named
“list.html” and is located in the DSS DJ folder on your disk. This option
works on all the lists.

27. 26
3. 5. Playlist view
The Playlist view displays the content of the list currently selected in the
Lists Browser. It is used to conveniently arrange everything from small title
sequences, up to whole events.
Within the play list, artist, title, BPM, genre, comment, album and file path
of an audio file are displayed. The gray bar marks a title indicating the
currently selected track.
Each list is automatically saved at the end of the DSS DJ session and loaded
at the beginning of a new one, although the History loses it’s content.
The Playlist has advanced features like instant column sorting, column
resize, column show/hide, mouse wheel scroll, mouse and keyboard
insertion control, drag&drop within the list, between the existing lists and
even from other applications, MP3 tag editor, physical delete and an instant
search.

28. 27
The playlist view is divided into:
Column titles
Track information
Playlist functions
Preview
Search
We will discuss each one at a time.
Column titles
The column titles are displayed in the upper part of the list. They work as a
whole and offer a lot of options. They even have their own popup menu.
The displayed columns are:
Number – the line number
Artist-Title – the artist and the song title; the total number of tracks in
the current list is also displayed here
BPM – the song’s rhythm (Beats Per Minute)
Genre
Comment
Album
Filename – complete file path – allows sorting by file path.
Column popup menu
By default, except the Filename, all columns are displayed. The
displayed columns can be configured using
the popup menu. It can be activated by a right click
anywhere on the head row or a left click on the
button on the right of the titles.
The checked popup options are the displayed
columns or the active options. By default, the

29. 28
Artist-Title column cannot be hidden, all others can be shown or hidden.
List sorting
To sort titles ascending or descending in a playlist by an ID3 tag or by file
name press the adequate column
title in the playlist. A little arrow
in the head row marks this
column. This option can be disabled by checking Lock column sorting in this
popup menu.
Column resize
To change a column’s width, point the mouse pointer into the head row
between to columns. It will change into a bi-directional arrow. Now click,
hold, and move to the desired column size and release.
Resizing, showing or hiding one column will resize the rest of
the columns proportionally. Lock column size option in the popup
menu disables the column resizing for the current list.
Track information
The tracks are organized as lines in the list. The information about each title
is divided into columns.
List scrolling
List scroll has full mouse and keyboard support: arrow keys, Home, End,
page Up and Page Down keys.
A mouse wheel step scrolls four lines at a time.
The scrollbar allows a fast moving between the lines as well as a fine slow
search, including an acceleration when scrolling one line at a time.

30. 29
Adding titles to a Playlist
Adding a single track
The Add button beneath the playlist opens a file selection box witch allows
browsing the entire hard drive and network for a certain music file. It can be
a MPEG layer 3 file (.MP3), Microsoft WAVE file (.WAV) or a CD Digital
Audio file (.CDA*). The new file is added
at the end of the current list.
* On some Windows™ versions, an ASPI driver is required
to load CDA files.
Adding an entire directory
The Add Dir button opens a folder selection
box. All music files in the specified
directory are added at the end of the current
list. Checking the Recurse subdirectories
option will recursivelly search for music
files to add.
Sending title(s) to Playlist
For a faster sending of a titles from the currently selected list to the Playlist
select or mark the desired song(s) and press Enter. This will be place them at
the end of the Playlist. When sending multiple titles a warning message box
is displayed asking for permission to copy selected or marked titles.
Marking ranges
The Insert button marks the
currently selected title. This
function is also assigned to the
Insert key on the keyboard, the
CTRL+mouse left click and to
the Shift+left mouse click on the
selected title.
The All button and the CTRL+A key combination marks all the lines in the
list.

31. 30
To select a range of lines select the first line and Shift+mouse left click on
the last line. The eventual marked lines in the range will be unmarked.
Combine these marking possibilities to mark only the desired titles.
Drag&Drop operations between lists
To add title(s) to the main playlist, drag the title(s) to the Playlist in the Lists
Browser. Titles are copied to the Playlist. When adding multiple titles a
warning message is displayed asking for permission to copy them.
To move titles to a new list drag them from the current playlist in the new
one in the Lists Browser. When moving multiple titles a warning message is
displayed asking for permission to move them.
Drag&Drop operations from external applications
Dropping on one of the decks files and/or directories dragged from external
applications loads in the deck the first audio file found and ignores all the
directories and the rest of the files dropped. In this case, the loaded file is
only mentioned in the History list.
Drop a single file, a range of files or even directories from other applications
anywhere else on the interface (not on the decks) to add them to the current
list. The directories dropped on the application are recursivelly scanned for
music files and playlists and added at the end of the current list.
Removing titles
To remove the currently selected track or the marked ones from the list press
the Remove button beneath the list or hit the Delete key on the keyboard.
When deleting a range of titles, a warning dialog box appears asking for
permission to remove them.
To clear the current playlist content use the Clear button.
Modifying title order
Modifying line order can be achieved by the Drag Up or Drag Down ( )
buttons beneath the list, or by dragging the selected line or marked line(s) to
a new position in the list.

32. 31
Dragging titles over the list scrolls the list to the desired location and
displays an arrow to indicate the new position. Moving a range of files at a
time first lines them up and then places them in the new location.
Titles popup menu
Five options are available for each title via
the popup menu.
MP3 Tag Editor
The Tag Info option in the popup
menu opens the MP3 Tag editor
for the selected title. Here the title,
artist, album, track number, year,
genre and comments can be edited.
Pressing Update saves the data in
the music file and refreshes the list
content to reflect the changes.
Physical Delete
If you no longer need a music file it can be physically deleted from the hard
drive using the Physical Delete option from the popup menu. This option,
beside the file path and title sorting, is very helpful when deleting duplicate
music files from the computer. A warning message box is displayed asking
for permission to permanently delete the selected file or marked files from
the hard drive.
Remove all Dead
Removes from the list all songs that are no longer at the defined location on
the hard drive. This may happen when moving, renaming or deleting files or
directories. The cleaning is necessary because the lists do not automatically
update the information according to the files on the hard drive. An automatic
update would be a long and unnecessary operation, producing sound drops
and even system dropouts on some systems.

33. 32
Preview Player
To listen to a title before sending it to be loaded into a deck select the
Preview option in the title popup menu or press the Preview button beneath
the playlist. The button turns red and the slider next to it
marks the position in the song listened. The slider can be
adjusted to hear different parts of the song. The preview player plays only in
the headphones (monitor output). Press the Preview button again to stop the
player.
Search
Press Space bar to enter Search mode. Type the searched
text. The selection moves to the first title matching the typed text. Press Next
to select the next title matching the search. Press Esc, Enter, Up or Down
keys to exit search Mode.
3. 6. Mixer panel
The Mixer panel contains a wide range of functions for mixing the songs and
adding specific effects, much like a hardware device, but with Digital Signal
Processing functions.
Crossfader
Crossfader – the most important tool for mixing.
Placed in the center of the mixer panel, the crossfader is used to fade
between deck A, and deck B. It can be set to either manual, or set to
automatic mode. When automatic mode is active (Auto-DJ), the fader will
automatically fade to the other deck, at the end of a title. If both decks are
playing and the crossfader is in the middle then you will hear both decks.
Right mouse click on crossfader to keep there the fader until you release the
mouse button.
Left mouse click on crossfader to move it to that position.

34. 33
Synchronizing decks
To synchronize the monitoring deck to the one playing in the speakers press
the Sync button next to the deck. The deck starts playing,
the pitch is modified to match the BPM and the beats
overlapped to create a perfect mix between the two songs.
While the songs are perfectly overlapped the offset meters are empty. As the
beats tend to loose synchronization the offset meters will turn red along with
one of the two bend buttons in each deck. To manually synchronize the titles
press the red bend button a few times. But don’t bother, pressing the Sync
button once does it all automatically.
TIPS: Never make changes to the deck which is in MASTER, as any change
it will be noticed by the audience. ALWAYS modify the secondary deck
(the one that is heard in the headphones – monitor).
Thus, do not press Sync button for the deck playing in the speakers since it
may produce a sound skip or even a fast speed change disappointing the
audience.
Try to find tracks with similar BPMs for a fine mix. Although the program
perfectly overlaps the beats, the high pitch may disturb the audience. In such
cases even the slow pitch reset may seem annoying.
Use the Master Tempo feature to change song speed without changing the
sound tonality. Remember that this feature changes the sound quality on
extreme settings and enabling/disabling it while playing may cause a sound
skip.
Auto-DJ and Random Mode
In Auto DJ Mode the program automatically loads the
decks with the titles in the playlist, plays a song and mix it’s end with the
beginning of the next one. This system is so powerful that, unless the playlist
is empty, human intervention in song mixing is almost useless.
To manually mix to the other deck using the automatic synchronization press
Auto-DJ Next button. It will sync the decks, slowly crossfade
between them, stop the old deck and load the next song in the playlist in it.

35. 34
In Random Mode the next title loaded in the stopped deck is chosen in
random order from the playlist and the loaded title is not removed from the
playlist.
Use the Up and Down arrow buttons next to the Auto-DJ Time to modify the
crossfading time. The Auto-DJ Time is displayed in seconds.
Boost/Mute functions
Use Boost buttons to increase sound gain by 6 dB. When, one of decks is
playing in master you can click the opposite deck's boost button to include
its signal. Left button includes deck A, right button deck B. Press Mute Deck
to mute one of the decks.
Cue Deck
Press Cue Deck to hear the deck(s) in monitor
(headphones). Left button to hear deck A, right button
for deck B.
CUE-PGM fader
CUE-PGM fader - a fader addressing the signal only to monitor
(headphones). Set to left to hear in monitor only the cued deck(s); set to
middle to hear the cued deck(s) and the master; set to right to hear only the
master (PGM - program).
EQ-faders
With the crossfader in the middle, use this EQ-faders (low, middle and high)
to change songs frequency ranges from each deck.
Volume Slider
The signal volume for each deck can be modified using the Volume
slider. By default the slider is positioned at the highest volume. Left
fader is designed for deck A, right fader for deck B. Use right mouse
click or drag to momentarily change the signal volume. On right mouse
release the slider jumps back to it’s old value.

36. 35
Gain Knob
To modify the sound amplification from -12 dB to +12 dB use the
Gain Knob available for each deck. The higher the gain the louder the
sound, but distortions (digital clipping) may appear at high levels. Use
right mouse click on the knob to reset the amplification to 0 dB.
VU-meters
The Decks VU-meters are displaying each deck signal. Left VU-
meter shows the signal for deck A, right VU-meter for deck B.
Master stereo VU-meter – shows the master output signal.
Every VU-meters displays signals from -48 dB (green) to 0 dB (yellow) and
up to +10 dB (red). It’s recommanded to keep the signal of each deck (and
of the master output too) close to 0 dB. Use the Gain knobs to do so.
3. 7. System functions
System time
The current time is displayed as a digital clock near the
Menu button. It is helpful when in full screen mode.
Recording
DSS DJ has integrated mix recording. Click Menu button and select
Start Recording option from the pop up menu. A window will open to
choose a location and a file name for the new mix file (wav format). From
now on what you hear in master will be recorded in the mix file. When
recording a red led is blinking. Press it to start or stop recording. The amount
of time recorded is shown next to it. Due to the Windows™ file length
limitations (maximum 2 GB per file), the maximum amount of time that can
be recorded is limited to approximately 200 minutes. Eg. a CD-ROM can
store up to 80 minutes (700 MB).

37. 36
Main menu
Click Menu button to open a pop up menu. The main
options are shown here: password lock access to the
console, start recording the mix, access the
configuration window and exit the application.
Lock Access
When leaving the desk the best way
to protect the console from
unauthorized access is locking it with
a password. The music mix continues
playing undisturbed and you are sure
no one else can interfere with your
work – playlists and settings.
Minimize
To minimize the main window press the Minimize button in the upper-right
corner of the program.
Full screen mode
To enter full-screen mode
press the Maximize button. A
warning dialog box will appear
asking for permission to change the
screen resolution. Attention!
Depending on the hardware,
changing the screen resolution may
cause a short sound dropout.

38. 37
44.. CCoonnffiigguurraattiioonn wwiinnddooww
To open the Configuration window press the Menu button and select
Configuration from the popup menu.
Configuration window is divided into two different areas, which can be
selected with the two different
register tabs: General
Settings
and Audio
Output.
4. 1.
General
Settings
In the general Settings
tab of the Configuration
window the user can change
some of the programs settings,
including the skin.
Master Tempo – checked: modifying the track speed does not modify
the sound tonality. Default: unchecked.
Beat Matching when auto-DJ – beat match the two songs before
crossfading between them in auto-DJ mode. Default: checked.
8% Pitch range – the pitch slider allows 8% pitch change for smooth
manual mix (for checked option). Default: unchecked (24% pitch
range).
Show Hints – shows a hint with the description and the keyboard
shortcut for all the interface objects. Default: checked.
Reset Deck after Load – If selected, after loading a new song in the
deck, DSS DJ will reset previous song's modified features (like
equalizer, filter, effects, etc.). Default: checked.
Auto select cueing deck – If selected, DSS DJ automatically sets the
deck which is not playing in master as the cueing deck (for monitor,
preview, headphones). Default: enabled.

39. 38
Display Standard Waveform – switch between displaying the standard
audio waveform and the beat display. Default: checked.
Define Pitch/Tempo Bend – define the maximum pitch and tempo
bend. Default: 2% of actual song speed.
Interface Skin – Select the interface skin from those available in the
dropdown list. Default: DSS DJ green (800x600).
4. 2. Audio Output
The hardware configuration options are gathered in the Audio Output tab.
Selecting the output devices
Select the device to which
DSS DJ will send the
master output signal (to
loudspeakers) from the
Master drop-down list of
available devices. By
default the software
automatically selects the
first output channel
available.
Multichannel mode
Check the Multichannel
soundcard (WDM mode)
box to run DSS DJ on a
multichannel soundcard
(rear and front outputs). The
software will automatically
configure the outputs:
master on front channel and
monitor on rear. Use this option with caution, only if you have a
multichannel soundcard. Please check our website for compatible
soundcards already tested.

40. 39
Split mode
To use simple stereo soundcard as a multichannel output, enable the Split
mode box. It automatically splits the signal: master on left channel, monitor
on right channel. This way the signal in each output (master and monitor)
becomes mono. However, in large clubs this the actual way of driving the
power amplifiers (in mono mode) so everyone will hear the same thing (not
the left or right channel depending on his/her positioning).
Monitor device
To use 2 different soundcards select the device to which DSS DJ will send
the monitor output signal (usually the headphones) from the Monitor drop-
down list of available devices. This option is available if you have two or
more soundcards connected. By default, the software selects the second
sound card available. Please note that some soundcards may not work so
good together in this mode, resulting in poor quality on the monitor output
or high latencies.
External mixer mode
When in multichannel soundcard mode, split mode or dual soundcard mode,
you can opt to use an external mixer. When enabled, the software
automatically assigns each deck to a specific output and the internal software
mixer is bypassed. All the crossfading and prelistening/cueing/monitoring is
done from the external mixer. The headphones and the amplifier(s) are
connected directly to the external mixer.
Latency
DSS DJ offers extensive features, and therefore requires more system
resources than simpler MP-3 players like WinAMP™ for example. The
capability of playing 3 MP-3 files simultaneously, digital sound analyze,
loop, scratch, or various channel signal output for example, demand a well
configured PC. Further DSS DJ offers extensive possibilities to manipulate
audio engine settings. The audio engine represents the core of program, and
is responsible for highest quality play backs with shortest possible control
latency intervals. Therefore make sure that background programs, like real
time virus scanners, power- and print management, etc. should be
deactivated.

41. 40
Should you encounter problems playing titles (like sound skips, pops, clicks
during the playback) try to change the following parameters first.
Buffer size: size of internal buffer. In the event there
are audio problems, come back to the audio setup to
tweak the latency settings.
Number of buffers for the driver. Increase this value if you
can not achieve clean audio playback.
Latency is the amount of time from the command to it’s actual execution. In
this case latency is anywhere between 40 and 60ms. To prevent dropouts
when DSS DJ is first installed, latency is set to 85ms by default. A lower
latency will increase the interactivity by making the program respond faster
to the commands, but on slower systems or soundcards tend to produce
sound dropouts.
The goal is to achieve the lowest latency without this artefacts. Since it
depends on the existing hardware, it cannot be calculated and the best value
is usually determined by trying out. To do so:
Set the buffer size and the number of buffers in the Configuration
window to the lowest values.
Click OK to confirm your selection
Then load and play a song in one of the decks to test your choices.
If you experience sound dropouts during the playback had back to
the “Audio Output” tab of the Configuration window and increase
the buffer size and/or number of buffers.
Repeat these steps until you achieve a clean audio playback.
The tested cards have been reported to operate unstable only in extreme
situations, when used at the lowest latency.
For utmost compatibility to various different sound cards, DSS DJ uses the
DirectSound driver. This is the most stable common driver. Depending on
hardware outfit, it allows a latency within 30 to 100ms.

Application: Software program that performs different tasks that otherwise
wouldn't be accomplished by an operating system itself. Examples of
applications are: a text-editing program such, a bookkeeping program or
DSS DJ.
Beat: A repeating sound normally produced by an instrument such as a
drum for example (usually this sets the rhythm in a song).
Buffer: A memory space where data is held temporarily before final
treatment. DSS DJ uses buffers to communicate with the sound card. Thus,
the program fills a buffer with audio data and sends it to the sound card.
From this moment the processing speed depends on the driver and the actual
hardware (the soundcard and the processor speed).
Cue: A cue point is a position within a song. However, “to do cueing”
means to pre-listen a song (eventually to search for cue points) before you
will mix it with current active song (from the active deck). Cueing is also
referred to as “monitoring”.
Dialog box: A dialog box is a window that you can use to communicate
with the computer or application. Dialog boxes give you information on the
progress of a working application and eventually offers the option to put
information to the use in the application.
Driver: A driver is a program that determines how a computer will
communicate with a peripheral device such as a sound card or video card.
The manufacturers of the peripherals create the drivers.
ID3 Tag: This is a feature of MP3 technology that gives the user the
possibility of storing information regarding the media content in the MP3
file (like: Artist, Title, Album, etc). Basically, there are two types of ID3
tags: the old ID3-Tag, which is the fundamental tag and also the ID3V2 tag,
which is a more developed tag. DSS DJ supports both formats.
MP3 (MPEG 1 Layer 3): This is a file format developed by Fraunhofer IIS
in Germany and Thompson in France. It contains compressed audio and ID3
tag information. MP3's are intelligently compressed and are adapted to the
human perceptual hearing. It dynamically takes away all of the redundant,

45. 44
nonessential and not perceptible information and only stores the necessary
information for Hi-fi quality play. The file size can be minimized up to 1/8th
and 1/19th of the original Wave file size. Thanks to the MP3 Format, it was
possible for the first time to transfer music through Internet in Hi-fi quality
with minimal download times. Larger and larger hard disks makes it
possible to store more music titles directly on your computer. A 5 minutes
regular song (in MP3 format) consumes about 5 MB of hard drive space.
Pitch: Professional CD players allows the user to change the playback speed
of a track. This is necessary e.g. for synchronizing two titles with different
speed (BPM - beats per minute) respectively playback with the same speed.
The measure of the changed speed in contrast to the original speed is called
"pitch" and is stated in percent. A pitch value of +100% means that the title
will be played with the double speed, -50% plays the title with the half of the
speed. Usually a turntable will have a +/- 12%, and a CD player about +/-
24%.
Pitch Bend: Using the Pitch Bend function a temporary increasing or
decreasing of the pitch is possible. This is usefully if two titles, already
played back with the same speed, shall be synchronized in beat. By pressing
a Pitch Bend button the speed will be increased or decreased for a short time.
At releasing the button the title returns continuously to its originally speed as
well. With the Pitch Bend buttons the beats of two titles can synchronized
exactly and very small corrections of both decks are possible.
Tempo (BPM): The number of beats per minute. A song is compound of
repeating groups containing 4, 8 or 16 beats. These beats may form a steady
rhythm like | | | | | | | | or a rhythm like | | | | | |. DSS DJ detects both rhythm
types, and tempo values between 65 and 155 BPM.
WAVE file: This format is used by Windows to store audio data (usually in
PCM mode - free of sound quality loss). Examples of sources of this sound
quality could be: Audio CD's, Film soundtracks and records. All signals are
copied exactly. The quality in the WAV file is the same as in the original
data. But, in order to have this kind of quality it is necessary to have a large
amount of free hard disk space.
