[41]The USB connector is used for connecting to a computer with a compatible USB port. The BCD3000 uses the USB connector to send and receive audio and control data.

[42]A standard power socket is provided for connection to the mains. A matching power cable is included with the unit.

[43]The POWER switch turns your BCD3000 on and off. It should always be in the OFF position (out) when connecting the unit to or disconnecting the unit from the mains.

◊Please note: The power switch does not completely separate your BCD3000 from AC power. If you plan on not using your BCD3000 for a prolonged period of time, please disconnect it from the mains by removing the power cable from the wall outlet.

4. The Software

4.1 The TRAKTOR 3 LE software

The following gives you a short overview of the provided TRAKTOR 3 LE program. A complete guide to working with the system (hardware and software)

is found in Chapter 5 as many of the program’s functions are controlled by the B-CONTROL. A full description of the TRAKTOR 3 LE software is available in the included TRAKTOR 3 LE manual. You can find the manual as PDF document in the TRAKTOR 3 LE folder under “Documentation” (also from the Start menu in Windows).

Fig. 4.1: The TRAKTOR 3 LE main window

The TRAKTOR 3 LE user interface is split up into several sections: on the top half of the screen, you see the decks on the right and left side, similar to the setup of two CD players or turntables (Deck A on the left side and Deck B on the right side). In between, you find the mixer section with the crossfader and the level meters for both decks.

On the bottom half, the List Browser is displayed on the left and the currently selected list on the right.

Each deck displays the waveform of the track that is currently loaded.
