Deck clone can be triggered several different ways:

- Double press the load button on your controller, mixer, or keyboard (this can be disabled in the deck options settings).
- Invoke the `CloneFromDeck` control in a controller mapping.
- Drag and drop a track from one deck to another in the UI.
- Double press the `Load` button on your controller, mixer, or keyboard (this can be disabled in the deck options settings)
- Invoke the `CloneFromDeck` control in a controller mapping (see the complete [Mixxx controls table](https://github.com/mixxxdj/mixxx/wiki/mixxxcontrols#channeln))
- Drag and drop a track from one deck to another in the UI

Any of these actions will result in the currently loaded track being loaded on the target deck at the current play position and pitch setting. If the track is playing on the source deck, it will play from the same exact position on the target deck.

Historically, this technique required two copies of the same record, but using the deck clone feature, the currently playing track can quickly be cued on a second deck in the right spot at the correct tempo. In modern times, with digital DJ setups, many beat jugging techniques can be done on a single deck using loops and hotcues. Still, when done using traditional methods, beat juggling is creative and impressive.

Often, DJs and turntablists can only perform certain complex scratches with one hand or the other. The deck clone feature makes it easy to quickly swap which deck a song is playing on, enabling a performer to use whichever hand they prefer for scratching.
