Analyzing tracks

When one of this unit's [LOAD] buttons is pressed and tracks are loaded
onto the decks, the tracks are analyzed, but some time may be required
until analysis is completed and the BPM and waveform are displayed.
When the Serato DJ Intro software is used as an offline player, tracks
can be analyzed ahead of time. For tracks whose analysis has been
completed, the BPM and waveform are displayed immediately when the
tracks are loaded onto the decks.
For details on using the Serato DJ Intro software as an offline player
and instructions on analyzing tracks, see the Serato DJ Intro software
manual.
! Depending on the number of tracks, some time may be required for
analysis.
