Headphone CUE/MIX/MASTER settings on XDJ-RX

Could someone explain what Headphone setting should one use when mixing with the XDJ-RX and with monitors? On DJM900s and other mixers there are the MASTER cue and split cue functions not found on the RX.

What are the differences between the settings on the RX since there is no MASTER cue and the master setting found on the controller? Do you guys use the MIXING setting while having the cur button on for the not playing track? And is the MASTER setting only for mixing with no monitors?

Whether you use a booth monitor doesn't matter - all it's doing is providing you another version of the master output with a separate volume control. Let's ignore that and just focus on the headphone monitoring.

You are correct in that the XDJ-RX does not feature split-cueing, it only has a stereo-overlay option. What you do have is a cue / master mix knob, allowing you to preview only whatever is selected on the channel PFL (pre-fader listen) cueing, only the master, or any amount of mix between the two.

There are two buttons below the headphone controls allowing you to select CH1, CH2, or both simultaneously - these are what you'll hear on the CUE side of the cue / master.

I typically leave mine in the middle, allowing me to hear the master output - then I'll find a new song, engage the CH1 or CH2 button (for whichever deck is NOT going to the master), then, if I need to, turn the mix to the CUE side so I don't hear the master so I can better preview the new song. When I'm ready to start the actual mix, I'll dial the knob back to the middle and toggle the channel button on and off as needed until both tracks are "live," at which point I'll usually listen to only the master - but no need to turn it to the master side, as you'll only be hearing that and nothing additional from the PFL cue.

Thank you for the reply!

One more question. In this case, what would the MASTER cue button found on djm mixers change? How would the mixing process change from the aforementioned? Would the cue / master act the same as on RX?

Is the MASTER cue button only used for mixing with headphones only (no monitors)?

The MASTER CUE button simply allows you to toggle that source on and off, unlike the RX where the master audio is always being sent to the CUE / MASTER mix knob.

what do I do if the volume of my headphone isn't loud enough when I turn it all the way up ?

Is your channel trim set so the music peaks around the first orange LED on the channel meter?
