"Alright, now your headphones are in and you're ready to go. So I'm going to show you how you're going to go about queuing and the different switches and nobs that are going to help you queue. So bring up your headphones. If you want to hear this record, the audience doesn't hear it because the cross fader is on the opposite side. You take the channel that this is in which is the far right channel has a PFL monitor. That's what going to come up in the headphones. Throw it on. You can hear it. Use your headphone level. Bring it down. Bring it up. If it's loud in the club, you're going to need to bring it up. I often have it louder than is healthy. You can also use the PFL monitor which is the master. I don't have anything playing right now. And if I play it, you're only going to hear what's coming out of the speakers. But this will give you a little bit softer version of what's actually coming out of the speakers. So it's definitely good to test that out."
