Part 4/7:
Shifting focus to the mixer, Alison details its role in adjusting audio output from the CDJs to the speakers. One crucial element is the booth monitor knob, which adjusts the volume of a personal monitor speaker, enabling the DJ to hear detailed sound while performing.

This functionality is vital for planning transitions while other tracks are being played to the audience. With the option of four channels on the mixer, Alison demonstrates how to organize and prepare multiple tracks ready for mixing.
