Let's consider mixing. Run Max/MSP DJ Stuff ond Foobar. For convenience place the windows as shown in the picture.

            

Loader window specially designed at the top of program for make large area for Foobar and for convenience of loading files.

Look at the picture to familiarize with interface elements, which need to read this paragraph.

    

1.Start point.
2.It's like vinyl turntable. (But it is not designed for scratch, it is only for exact set of a start point.)
3.Protection from unreasonable user action. While you learn to work with program, uncheck this option.
4.Low frequency control of Foobar.
5.High frequency control of Foobar.
6.Volume control of Foobar.
7."Fade in" mode - smooth increase of loudness by duration of 20 milliseconds. "Fade in" will off automaticly if you select new start point. Necessity of this function is under doubt and it is possible what in the following versions of the program it will be removed.
8.Speed (in percents). If program work in mix mode, then this window does not respond to mouse.
9.Resets additional speed control.
10.Additional speed control. His designed only for speed correction of defected files, that has been recorded at very wrong speed. Usually it is not used.
