Not all Macs are up to the job of Pitch Lock. We don't have a waveform feature yet, but you can cue using the shuttle wheel on each CD Player. Also, check if you have a Start Time set in iTunes, as DJ-1800 uses these if they exist. Hope this helps! Dave. Hi there two_ears_good,

Is there a way to view the waveforms of the files, and adjust the start point on the waveform? There's a track in my library that is starting too late, making cueing difficult. Searching for songs could be a lot faster, it seems, although maybe CPU usage on my intel iMac was very high during playback - I didn't look. I was using my local iTunes library as the source of songs. I tried this out on Tiger and found the playback quality to be bad, even with the pitch adjustment slider at 0.
