You can select Absolute Mode (ABS) from a drop down menu in the top left corner of the Virtual Deck area. ABS mode is the default mode and most closely resembles the properties of regular vinyl. The beginning of the track is mapped to the start of the record and by picking up the tone arm and moving the needle to another part of the record (needle dropping), you can move to a different position within the track. ABS mode reproduces the movement of vinyl control records, including stops, starts, scratching, needle dropping, rubbing and other turntablist techniques.
