Previewing in DDJ 1000 without having to hit CUE!!!

Hey guys,

First time poster here. Just bought a DDJ 1000 after a long absence from spinning...

When I'm in performance mode and searching for a track quickly, I want the track to start playing automatically (in my headphones) as soon as I select it. As is I have to keep pressing the cue button in order to start playback.

This function was available in SERATO but for the life in me I can't figure it out in REKORDBOX. I need it for previewing purposes when going through hundreds of tracks on the fly. Having to hit the CUE button all the time (for preview purposes only) is getting a little tiring!

Any ideas?

Many thanks!

@Seyed > You can do as @Theo suggests (below), or you can even assign a keyboard shortcut or map a control on the DDJ-1000 to start / stop playback of the preview while it's selected in the collection. No need to load the track to a deck.

What I do to speed-check tracks, is clicking with the mouse pointer on the waveforms next to my tracklist in Rekordbox, next to each track. Tracks are played instantly via headphone only, even when 2 decks are already running. To stop simple push the small 'stop' logo apearing left from the wave.
