The blue cursor, in the detailed and preview waveforms, is the cue point. By default, it is set at the beginning of a track, but can be moved anywhere you need. By using the cue play buttons you can: - instantly skip to the cue point and start playing the audio immediately
- cue up a specific section of a track you want to start at
- match the tempo of one deck to the other by setting a cue point at the moment a beat begins in a track, so the two track's beats are aligned for seamless crossfading between the two decks
- create loops from certain sections of the track for playback. For example, you may want to trigger a small vocal section over and over in time with whatever is playing in the other deck by setting a loop that starts at the cue point
Cue points are saved between sessions. This means that if you set a cue point in a track in your library, the next time you load that track, the cue point will already be there.
Add Cue Point
You can add up to 8 cue points for each track. When you have used up all 8 cue points you will need to overwrite an existing one.
Strict Mode
This option automatically locks the cue point position to the position of the nearest beat marker. This allows you to easily align multiple track beats while playing. This option will also preserve the tempo while playing a track and Cue Play is used. This can be done by the Deck Menu or by using the hotkey.
